Episode Synopsis

What’s the point of skipping a plastic straw if Bezos is throwing a foam party on a $500M yacht? Kelly sets off a fiery chat about billionaire greed, climate hypocrisy, and the exhausting pressure on regular people to save the planet - one soggy paper straw at a time. With Jeff Bezos' wedding as the jumping-off point (and yes, Oprah was there), the girls unpack the absurdity of wealth worship, the carbon footprint of private jets, and the growing sense of “why bother?” in the face of it all. Is it even possible to care enough anymore?
