Hey everyone! Welcome back to The Stern Spiel! 🎭🗽

Veronica's finally home from tour and we're diving into the wild world of Manhattan apartment hunting. It's a JOURNEY. 😅 We're talking tiny spaces, crazy prices, and some seriously sketch neighborhoods. Plus Veronica shares some LOL-worthy moments from tour life.

We also get into the whole Biden situation (yikes). Plus, we touch on the upcoming Olympics and election drama. It's basically our usual father-daughter chat session, but now with mics! 🎙️

Catch all the gossip on apartment struggles, showbiz life, and our hot takes on what's going down in the world. 💖✨
