In this episode of Hot Takes, Nicko and Megan go everywhere from hot flashes to hot takes on politics. They get real about perimenopause and how it can crank up mental health challenges, while also lifting up powerful stories of abuse survivors who remind us what resilience really looks like. Of course, no episode would be complete without sports chatter. Yes, the WNBA playoffs are giving us life and heartbreak in equal measure. The hosts also stir the pot with commentary on some truly questionable things public figures have been saying lately, and they don’t hold back when it comes to calling out how religion and politics can get twisted into tools of control.

As always, personal stories weave through the mix, because nothing’s juicier than connecting real life to the big issues. From the importance of community support to side-eyeing political motives, Nicko and Megan balance honesty with their trademark humor. And since the season is shifting, they top it all off with a cozy ode to fall: the sweaters, the candles, the vibes… basically, everything pumpkin-spiced is sacred. It’s a wild ride with a soft landing, and you won’t want to miss it.
