Episode Details

Yer Buzzkills break down the facts about Trump’s silent but deadly CDC nominee. Sure, she gleefully promoted surveillance on abortion seekers, but it’s what she DIDN’T say in her confirmation hearings that could be worse than a Jesse Watters stag party at a Taco Bell. All that and a lawsuit win comes out of South Dakota, updates drop on the Texas midwife story we’ve been following, and Josh Hawley throws a tantrum over Plan C Pills’ website. 

GUEST ROLL CALL:

What does it mean to build a world where sex education is rooted in pleasure, consent, and liberation? The dopest sex educator we know is HERE! Author and activist, Ericka Hart, who combines her lived experiences as a Queer, Black, Femme with her expertise as a sex educator for her book Nasty Work. BONUS: Ericka has a great story of some shenanigans that got her booted from the Peace Corps! 

PLUS! What do clowns, REI, catchy songs, and emotional healing have in common? HEB MURPHY! The comedian and digital creator delivers the serotonin as she joins the Buzzkills to talk about writing jingles that we can all somehow relate hard to, why touching grass is deeply therapeutic, and what Bill Nye and Ken Ham have to do with her going from conservative AF to queer AF by the age of 22.

Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
