Omg! This ep was so bad... when I saw it was only 32 minutes, I was wondering if maybe they didn't have time to watch the episode or something like that, and were doing this week with only just chit-chat. I was even thinking that maybe iHeart radio pulled the plug and this was like a "goodbye" episode.

I didn't know they were thinking of doing a spinoff on the Ashe family! It's too bad it didn't happen. And ya no it didn't seem like Jennie & Tori knew that.

I thought it was really weird when Tori said (speaking about pregnancies): do you still get a "push gift" if you get a C-Section?

I did notice a small lack of difference with Sisanie's absence. I feel like this ep was definitely more disorganized and all over-the-place than others. And also, as you mentioned, way too short!

I also thought it was weird when Jennie said that this ep deal with "systemic racism". I'm not an expert but I feel like what we've seen in this ep (the racist neighbour, the racist 2 cops, etc.) is more like examples of individuals being racists? Whereas systemic racism is more looking at macro trends, like average sentence lengths for same crime by people of different skin colour.

Are Tori & Dean separated?! It seems like it. Tori said: "I had the kids when I was watching this episode..."

The editing was so bad!!! Just before the ads, at 14:33, you can hear Jennie say "Is that ok?". It was clearly something that should have been cut, but wasn't.

It was very odd that Jennie didn't understand the point of Brandon assuming that the photographer with the fancy name was the white guy.

I also cannot believe that another fan send a book to Jennie!! Like whyyy? And ya, it was hilarious when they said they should invite the authors on the podcast... they indeed to make a lot of fun about 90210mg on their own podcast!! I'd be down to listen to a snarky convo between the 4 of them.

I also thought, especially since they were at the iHeart studio, that they might just do a chit-chat or Q&A edition and that's why it was so short -- that they were saving the episode for next week. But... nope!

Tori says weird stuff all the time. So does Jennie for that matter. They each have oddities to them, which is fine, but whereas I used to feel they balanced each other out, I'm not sure anymore. It's almost like they enable each other.

I'm no expert either, but I think it can be argued that individual racists are often the result of systemic racism and what has been engrained into society.

There has been a lot of speculation about Tori and Dean, but neither of them have commented.

I did hear Jennie say "Is that okay?" or something and thought she was asking if it was okay if one of them threw to break or something. They're always used to Sisanie doing that for them. Regardless, yes, that could've been cut. The whole thing just screams "unprofessional."

I wouldn't be surprised if more fans end up sending them "gifts." It's a good way to suck up and get attention!
