Your Weekly Breakdown

Your fav unhinged hosts Em and Cait talk World Cup, Broadway nostalgia, podcast empire drama, AI surveillance, Meta glasses, zombie filler, mosquito feminism, HPV self-screenings, climate dread, and why women are apparently never allowed to be unlikable in peace. It’s silly, smart, slightly chaotic, and somehow covers Rent, Ray-Bans, corpse fat, Ottawa police, Olivia Wilde, and the emotional suppo...

Em and Cait tackle everything from immigration detention protests and Toronto airport expansion plans to the latest wellness industry grift promising to cure women's stress with supplements (lol). They also discuss Bumble's new AI dating assistant, FDA-recalled "sexual enhancement" chocolates, women's hockey victories, comfort food nostalgia, and why sometimes the best thi...

This week on Your Weekly Breakdown , Em and Cait celebrate accidental virality (hello new listeners!!), magical period blood, Skims-adjacent cocaine logistics, Hooters’ baffling family-friendly era, AI deepfake horror, Alberta’s “should we vote about voting?” breakup drama, and the miracle of a 63-year-old techno grandma. It’s science, shapewear, separatism, and boobs. So, honestly? Business as us...

Equal parts rage, laughs, and “are we actually living in a dystopian group project?” Em and Cait tackle everything from Dr. Oz declaring America “under-babied” and the unsettling rise of pregnancy surveillance to AI panic, wellness culture’s latest injectable obsession, and the world's increasingly smoky, thirsty future. They also champion women’s sports after Cycling Canada benches female at...

Em is BACK! The Hunger Games starts feeling less like dystopian fiction and more like a live news feed as Em and Cait unpack the increasingly surreal overlap between billionaires, propaganda, AI grifters, collapsing institutions, and the Met Gala. From Bezos sponsoring fashion’s biggest night to self-help influencers trying to convince women they’ll be “left behind” if they don’t hand their financ...

A smart, slightly unhinged tour through media, memory, power, and the slow erosion of both environmental regulations and social niceties, with just enough jokes to keep you from spiralling. Cait and guest co-host Jill Clark chat lost media, unreliable memory, and the unsettling realization that some things might actually be gone forever (including, tragically, a niche aquarium puppet show). Also:...

Two women, one podcast, and absolutely no respect for the social contract of air travel. This week, Cait and guest co-host Jill cover the elite art of using Tinder as Yelp abroad, the chaos of surprise Ashley Madison accounts, why a 12-year engagement might just be a relationship hostage situation, and the new  fruit wash that could save your berries and your bank account. Plus: tradwife thrillers...

Fish sperm facials, clitoral cartography, collapsing dictatorships, fake moon conspiracies, and a bird in a homemade submarine. This week, Em and Cait unpack the absurdity of modern life, from anti-aging hysteria and Gen Z’s fear of cringe, to why competency is the new porn, and democracy might still have a pulse!! Weird, funny, and somehow deeply hopeful?! Shownotes: nine inch nails new album tru...

This episode is a chaotic, funny mix of pop culture, space wonder, and “are we okay as a society?” moments. Study the bizarre pH fact (beer and vaginas!) and dive into Bravo drama and Coachella chatter, before landing on the genuine awe of the Artemis II mission. Also: a string of missing scientists sparks uneasy curiosity, and a deep dive into prediction betting markets reveals people are literal...

This week, Cait and Em cover everything from $1,000 theatre outings and elite family vacation strategy (built-in kids club, obviously) to the deeply unserious state of Canadian politics—yes, including Fart Gate . Caitlin wins a CBC comedy panel (as she should), Emily pitches a documentary on Anne Hathaway’s press tour (greenlit in our minds), and together we unpack why women are now… quietly manag...

This week, Cait and guest co-host Jill Clark enter our political curiosity era (against our will) as Pierre Poilievre goes on Joe Rogan and… behaves? They unpack the surprisingly competent PR glow-up no one asked for, plus what it says about Canadian politics getting just a little too interesting. Then, because Emily is away, enjoy some Reality TV chat!! Chaos, crime, and soft-swinging collide as...

Excuse the audio, we did our best! Tune in for a Great Yap Session with guest co-host Jill Clark, standing in while Em is out drowning in the chaos of life. This week it's wide-ranging (and very correct) episode on modern life: how to game travel points, dress like you tried (without trying), and survive the Oscars discourse. We get into influencer creep on red carpets, the economics of havin...

This week: burnt bangs, horny Olympians, hockey culture discourse, and a geopolitical crisis. You know, the usual light fare. Emily and Caitlin dive into Elliotte Friedman's poorly-chosen metaphor and the real problem with hockey culture, why the Olympic Village might be the world’s most athletic dating app, the strange politics of daylight saving time, and a few headlines that range from ado...

This week, we’re limping in with workout injuries and leaving with a full-blown existential crisis. Emily and Caitlin unpack everything from Meta’s terrifying facial-recognition glasses and Canada accidentally investing your retirement in Elon’s chaos machine, to Olympic-level cheating scandals, pickleball fights among the elderly, and a possible 12-year-old future dictator. Plus: why improv kills...

Cold hands, hot takes: this week, Emily and Caitlin spiral from frozen Great Lakes to spicy revenge plots, unpacking everything from NASA’s delayed moon mission and Denmark’s sexy red streetlights to AI avatars in true-crime docs (hard pass) and the deeply unsettling reality of death cap mushrooms. They debate whether elders deserve grace or consequences, question sketchy Ozempic knockoffs, and re...

This episode is a full-spectrum emotional workout, and things escalate quickly. It’s silly, smart, unhinged in the best way, and deeply human—basically the news, but without pretending everything is fine. Em and Cait bounce between fake celebrity photos, Cait's time at Second City, the Grammys jumping networks, Trevor Noah poking the political bear, and Bad Bunny having the most relatable anx...

This week’s episode (their 50th!!) is a full-chaos sampler platter: birthday party debriefs, peak petty relationship moments, and the new life philosophy of friction maxxing —aka choosing mild inconvenience on purpose so your brain doesn’t rot. Cait and Em unpack why the internet is making truth feel optional, what’s actually going on with ICE and the Olympics (spoiler: not what the headlines want...

This week the girls kick things off with a surprisingly serious (and genuinely hopeful) deep dive on Mark Carney's Davos mic-drop with their first-ever political insider guest Jill Clark, and shift to the usual business talking about naked FaceTimes, strong canned cocktails, and a four-and-a-half-star book review that spirals into why Goodreads is emotionally unsafe. They also consider sweari...

Community is the theme, chaos is the method. With Cait away, Em is joined by Briana Buckmaster for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly tender conversation about grief, art, perimenopause energy, and the radical power of doing absolutely nothing together. They unpack why women in midlife want to be left alone (lovingly), why storytelling matters more than ever, how tech and algorithms are f...

It’s 2026, we’re ten days in, and already debating whether being called a “podcaster” is a slur. Em + Cait unpack New Year identity crises, MILF discourse, and why softness might be the most terrifying resolution of all. From hockey romance TV debates and the rise of pegging (yes, really), to AI logos that all look like buttholes, tech gone feral, vaccine chaos, and genuinely hopeful science break...

This week on Your Weekly Breakdown , Em + Caitlin spiral (gently) from burnout and big-fat book stacks into airport empathy, 2-star Apple reviews, + the shocking discovery that Nantucket is absolutely ripping cocaine. Along the way: strippers save Xmas, a German Shepherd eats $100 underwear, and AI content is officially declared SLOP. There’s joy, grief, French girl crushes, rogue Turning Point US...

Running on fumes, rage, and one ridiculously embarrassing story, this episode of Your Weekly Breakdown ricochets from feral morning energy to a surprisingly sharp cultural autopsy: Diddy documentaries, horny hockey romances, collapsing math skills, news from TikTok, AI deepfakes, banned words, trad-wife hypocrisy, digital detoxes, hockey canada, data centres, pipeline politics, and—mercifully—a ho...

In this week's episode, Em and Cait spiral (lovingly) through everything from Rosalía’s divine-chaotic new album to the absolute fever dream of being named one of Apple Podcasts’ Best of 2025. Between norovirus accusations, kids listening to Eminem, chaotic holiday invites, U.S. political nonsense, Meta being Meta, cult documentaries, loneliness, wandering culture, and whether bars should ban...
