The slags kiss goodbye (for now). In a classic chatty episode, they do a pop culture run down of the week (in defense of uglyhot men), review the Oscar nominations, and provide a list on ins and outs for the spring. IN: playing video games OUT: being polite 

The slags recap this years Grammy Awards ceremony! Lots to discuss this year including snubs, standout performances, and record breaking wins. Also discussed is a popular article from The Cut detailing the new rules of etiquette. Should you take the last bite? Post an RIP for a dead celebrity? Help a stranger parallel park? Tune in to find out!
