Hear how Busy’s time in court went and what the gossip columns said she was doing at the US Open and with whom. Plus find out how Caissie lost an entire 24 hours of her Labor Day weekend! CONTENT WARNING: Midway through this recording, the hosts received news alerts that there was yet another school shooting. It is frankly shocking the number of times a mass shooting has occurred simultaneously with the recording of this once-weekly podcast, over the past several years. We’re not even talking about the six other days a week and all of the additional mass shootings that have fallen on those days. It does not have to be like this. After pausing the recording, everyone came back to finish the episode, but we are sending all our love to the students at Apalachee High School and the citizens of Winder, Georgia. It. Does Not. Have. To be. Like this.
