2 Gals take on the world of social media, politics, and world news (with a comedic twist). The revolution will not be televised.
Yo Pals! Happy PRIDE. We love everyone and support you in your decisions on your quest to self-actualization and happiness. This week, we remember why we fight!

We are back at it again Pals! World Topics! We see the prosecution of a War Lord in Switerzland, the fake ass Diamond Rush in South Africa, the unfortunate capsizing of a boat, the rejection of El Salvador's bitcoin, and the manhunt for a Brazilian murderer. We chatted a lot today. As usual, see our socials @IGMPodcast. Oh! And we love you like a pet loves its human <3
Yo Pals! This time around, we getting weirder than usual. Enjoy some wacky stories from around the world that have nothing to do with each other. Sometimes, this is good too. We love you! Like how siblings love each other, ya know?
