Episode notes

'Cool girl. Men always use that, don’t they? As their defining compliment. She’s a Cool girl. Cool girl is hot. Cool girl is game. Cool girl is fun. Cool girl never gets angry at her man.'

In this episode, Desiree and Jade get into what it means to be a 'cool girl', how it's different from a 'pick me girl', and why it's an archetype we should all avoid best we can. Additionally, we talk about sexy cabbage patch kids, failures in yoga class, and getting rabies from Italian stray cats.
