  <description><![CDATA[<p>Find your spot and park it for this experience: It’s what you get when you listen to conversations between two millennial women who grew up together in rural Wisconsin and started their friendship when they were 10. It’s endless hot takes with a sprinkling of hilarity, covering work, career, life, friendship, trying to have hobbies, and a general desire to rid the world of greed in all its forms. Sometimes they give guests a spot - other times they tag-team vent.</p>]]></description>
