    Samantha and Luis are back with fresh energy and a packed episode! They start by reflecting on a productive week filled with chores and exciting new projects before diving into the headlines. First up: Sydney’s beaches are making waves with some very mysterious marbles(yes, poo comes into mind—don’t ask).

    Next, they unpack the drama surrounding TikTok’s ban in the U.S., exploring how content creators are bracing for the fallout and what the new orange leader might have in store. Things lighten up with a hilarious discussion about how TV shows and movie titles get wildly lost in translation across different languages (spoiler: they’re way funnier than they should be).

    As always, they end with their the segment on sayings—this time focusing on Spanish phrases that are either laugh-out-loud funny or completely baffling when misinterpreted. It’s an episode full of weird, wonderful, and laugh-worthy moments you won’t want to miss!
