Onika and Britt had a big, on-air fight. Can you feel it? Just last week they were agreeing to a domestic partnership and now the honeymoon phase is dead and gone. We'll spare you the details and skip ahead to the make-up sex (the actual episode and another giveaway of @_myplusone goodies), but damn, relationships are hard!  Thankfully, they make up just in time to welcome the fabulous Kylie Holloway and Molly Gaebe, hosts of Caveat's femme-fueled podcast, Nevertheless She Existed. Get ready to be straight-up SCHOOLED on the "SAD and BAD" history of domestic violence reparations in the U.S. and beyond. We go way back, too, starting with Adam and Eve, Queen Elizabeth and the horrific origin story of the phrase "Rule of Thumb." We circle back to 2020 and the now-"unconstitutional" Violence Against Women Act and share some honest stories in the process. See how much history has evolved, or lack thereof, in one of our FUNNIEST and SMARTEST episodes to date. Make a drinking game out of it! Take a shot every time women take one step forward. Take two every time they take 14 steps back. Plus, Brittany's new side hustle, Onika's bribe and a little tea.   - - - - - - - - - - A comedic podcast about domestic violence, dating, sex and sisterhood hosted by Onika McLean (@divaofcomedy) and Brittany Brave (@brittanybrave.)
