Hot girl summer? More like mildly confused women in a heatwave.
This week, Millie and Hannah attempt to unpack the pressure of the so-called summer glow up—and, spoiler alert: they’re not here for it. With the typical detours, ranging this week from French borders to hormonal difficulties, they discuss the psychological warfare of “bikini body” marketing, they ask the big question: why do we feel like we have to become new people every July? Somewhere within the existential dread, eating disorder recovery and the social media detoxes - they come to the very freeing conclusion—you don’t need a summer glow up!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
