The gang discuss the newly passed TikTok bill, which mandates the sale of TikTok from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, and potentially ban the app if a sale doesn't occur within a year. Does it stand up to legal scrutiny?


We then discuss women's pain and the need for a more nuanced approach to its assessment and treatment in the medical field.
