Your Most UNHINGED Pop Culture Opinions BROKE US
6/4/202657 min
Every month, our patrons send in their most controversial pop culture takes, and we are legally obligated to react. This month’s voicemails broke us.

Phone a Snake drops monthly — but the full, uncut, unhinged version lives exclusively on our Patreon for subscribers: patreon.com/evolutionofasnake

They need to release a Betty Davis eyes. Once they release a Betty Davis eyes, then I'll know the truth. The thing about Cat's Eye is like, it's like this like crazy westernized and thus bastardized version of like what K-pop is. And it's like, I understand the JoJo Siwa. I get it.
