🎸 Whiskey, Cake & The Playboy Mansion Question We Had to Ask

Hi Lemon Tarts,

This week we finally got into your comments on Playboy Mansion — Big Macs, Hugh Hefner documentaries, secret Bible references, and whether Bono was ever actually invited to the real Playboy Mansion. (Hillary has thoughts. Whiskey and cake were involved.)

🎂 Mark your calendar: Friday is U2's 50th birthday.

And we are NOT letting it pass quietly. This Friday we're dropping a very special episode where Hillary and Jenny go back and forth with 50 completely out-of-context, no-explanation-given stories from over a decade of following this band — plus our all-time Top 50 U2 songs, picked independently and compared live for the first time.

Some of these stories involve Bono, a gynecological office, a staring contest, and Larry Mullen Jr.'s taxi nearly hitting someone. That's genuinely all we're willing to tell you right now.

It drops Friday — same feeds, look early! Don't miss it.
