It’s Tay’s 39th birthday and she’s spending it exactly how she dreamed: spiraling down an internet K-hole about a woman who thinks Sandra Bullock is trying to poison her Panera Diet Coke. Whit, meanwhile, is busy gluing on fake lashes and getting roasted by her optometrist. There’s also a Jim Harris cameo (unhinged as always), and Whit finally watched The Tinder Swindler and has thoughts. So grab...

It’s further confirmation that adulting is mostly just paperwork...
