his week, Claire and Gab are spinning through a wild mix of culture, crime, and chaos:

  • Millennial dads are spending more time with their kids than any generation before them — but are they really pulling equal weight at home?

  • An orca scandal in France that has us genuinely speechless (and maybe slightly traumatised).

  • The Safetrac surveillance saga — when your boss spies on you through your laptop mic and webcam, and why it’s actually illegal.

  • Vogue’s new editor, Chloe Malle — a self-proclaimed Nepo Baby stepping into Anna Wintour’s shoes.

  • Netflix’s shocking new documentary Unknown Number — catfishing, FBI raids, and a twist you won’t believe.

  • Plus, the final chapter in the Erin Patterson mushroom trial: life sentences, chilling courtroom moments, and what comes next in the true-crime cinematic universe.

It’s funny, sharp, and a little unhinged — exactly how we like it.

Because the feminist angle here. 437 00:22:19,378.9611845 --> 00:22:24,173.0788315 To get better equity for women in the workforce and productivity, there should be more equity in the home as well. 438 00:22:24,526.020008 --> 00:22:33,261.3141256 There should be, and now the trend line is certainly going the right way, but it is so slow we have the data and millennials. 439 00:22:33,261.3141256 --> 00:22:36,202.4905962 What about the Gen Zs?
