Those weird little bumps or holes on your kid’s skin? They might not be chickenpox, bug bites, or an allergy—they could be Molluscum Contagiosum, nicknamed the “summer fun virus” (spoiler: there’s nothing fun about it). Kara, Jennie, and Molly break down what molluscum really is, how it loves to spread during sweaty summer activities, and why those pesky bumps hang around much longer than parents bargain for. From swim towels to soccer fields, we’re talking about the surprising (and kinda gross) ways molluscum makes its move. And yes, we finally explain the infamous “Beetlejuice” treatment that sounds spooky but is actually one of the safest doctor-approved fixes out there. Key Molluscum Takeaways: What molluscum contagiosum is, what it looks like, and the sneaky ways it spreads. Why you should never attempt a DIY removal (seriously—leave the beetles where they belong). The real deal on “Beetlejuice” and why dermatologists swear by it. Smart prevention tips to stop molluscum from hijacking your kid’s summer. And because we love a good gross-meets-fascinating mashup, stick around for a Bonus Best-Of featuring: Dr. Pedram Ghasri with expert derm advice on skin safety and summer care. Beef‑fat facials (yes, people actually do this for their skin). Chris Wark’s inspiring journey from colon cancer survivor to health advocate—why he ditched processed foods, leaned into carrot juice and raw plants, and what he’s learned about detoxing from hidden toxins like microplastics. He shares practical wisdom on healing, stress, and living more intentionally. And finally, a showdown with the so-called miracle solution for bug season: mosquito repellent bracelets. Do they actually work, or are they just another summer gimmick?

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
