Description

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/fan_mail/new] Besties, it’s Book Club Time! This week, Emily and Lauren take a break from discussing TV the internet can’t stop talking about to discuss the BOOK the internet can’t stop talking about. Yesteryear, by political and pop culture podcaster Caro Claire Burke, takes us inside the mind of the fictional tradwife social media influencer Natalie Heller Mills. The story is about what happens when Natalie wakes up to discover she is actually in the 1855 pioneer era. This book is a WILD RIDE, and the Besties talk about it all—influencer culture, religious trauma, the manosphere, and of course, Goldie Hawn in Overboard. So many spoilers, so if you want to read this book and haven’t read it, don’t listen. If you have read it and are dying to talk about it with someone, welcome!  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/support]

FLYOVER DEEPDIVE - Summer House Season 10 Reunion Part 3

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/fan_mail/new] I’m tired of this reunion, Grandpa! Emily and Lauren are back to discuss the Summer House Season 10 Reunion Part 3. And wow! We hope you weren’t hungry because West and Amanda gave us nothing. And much like when your idiot coworkers don’t come to the meeting prepared, we now have to reschedule the drama for a later date, with Summer House: The Aftermath premiering next week. Bravo literally said, “That’s too damn bad, keep digging!” But we digress. In this episode, we discuss the revelations we did get, including West’s word-salad relationship with Meija, Jesse’s feelings of betrayal, the fact that West and Amanda are now, indeed, “exclusive,” and whether their actions at this reunion constitute a fireable offense.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/support]

Episode 121 - She's Definitely Not Our Wife

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/fan_mail/new] The Summer House Season 10 Reunion Part 1 is officially here, and after weeks of us being absolutely rabid waiting for it, it did not disappoint. Who else is ready for the “She’s Your Wife. She’s Not My Wife” merch? WE ARE! Emily and Lauren dissect the intense episode from start to finish: Amanda’s cocktail of zoned out and coming in hot, Kyle barely keeping it together, Bailey giving us fabulous non-ScAmanda content, KJ’s vulnerability, and so much more. And hey, guess what? This isn’t (just) a Summer House podcast! We do a quick round robin of the new In the City cast members and, unfortunately, have to issue Kyle Cooke an apology about his and Amanda’s disgusting apartment. Amanda’s Mom–where were you? Emily gives her thoughts on Off-Campus (spoiler alert: we give it a big IYHWIYWTFAYD(™)), the Hacks final season, Real Housewives of Rhode Island’s first beefs (SLAM PIG with a side of Crakas), and we finish up by checking in on Tay-Tay.  Refer a friend? Get a sticker! Send us a DM, and we’ll get you hooked up to show your Midwest Bestie pride!  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/support]

Episode 120 - Everyone Needs to Get ON Off Campus

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/fan_mail/new] The besties are back with a jam-packed episode. Emily and Lauren recap the Summer House season finale that lowkey felt like a series finale(yes, Lauren cried) and unpack the explosive reunion trailer. Lauren shares her newest TV obsession, Off Campus, while Emily gets into Widow’s Bay—romance and horror are SO BACK BABY. We also discuss why we know longer ride for Mary Beth Barone, the latest male loser on TV, Danny Booko from The Valley, and why he’s awful. In Table Scraps, we cover Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt’s breakup, Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner’s PR relationship, Taylor Swift’s chronically bad style, and Avery Woods doxxing someone on TikTok.
