What a KNOCK OUT show, literally. Birthday concussions, complete with fainting, busted knee, and the realization that "bad birthdays" are now a pattern for Nicole. Ah, summer. More political rage aimed at the current administration, including racism, our LGBT rights under threat, and calling out a few Trump supporting Alabama ladies (looking at you Sheila and Linda of Georgia) plus annoying, aggressive Bergen county geese - that's a first. Try and keep up, it's been a LONG, hot couple of months and Heather is drunk....again. Check out the girls on Twitter @puss_cast for links to their other podcast, Puss Cast.

Even when they aren't technically "on the rag", they still find things to vent about! This month, Heather and Nicole crank on Trump ("ugh, he's still President"), then promptly tackle the issues of little stickers that come on fruit, the automated soap, faucets and hand dryers in rest rooms, the push/pull door dilemma, budget airlines ("Spirit can ruin your life"), family planning ("a hostile uterus"?), big city dwellers and more. So, buckle up, because these girls are unleashing some hilarious observations. Perhaps a bit more calmly today but wait til next month. The rage shall resume!
