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]

FLYOVER DEEPDIVE - Famesick by Lena Dunham

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/fan_mail/new] In this Flyover Deep Dive, the besties unpack Famesick by Lena Dunham. In her memoir, Lena gets into it all: skyrocketing to fame with Girls, her deeply dysfunctional friendship with Jenni Konner, Adam Driver (spoiler: apparently he really is just Adam IRL), and her six-year relationship with Jack Antonoff. Lena’s story is always set against the backdrop of her chronic illness–suffering from near-constant pain, endometriosis flares, surgeries, and her mental health. She gets into her complicated family dynamics, putting her work before her health at any cost, and overcoming drug addiction.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/support]

Episode 119: The Met Gala Sucks Now, But Girl, The LEWKS!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558363/fan_mail/new] Pop culture Potluck is BACK, and we have a smorgasbord! In this episode, we discuss our complicated feelings about the Met Gala and share our favorite and least favorite looks. Just because 90% of our closet is Old Navy doesn’t mean we don’t know fashion, hunty. We also give the lowdown on the dark energy of Hulu’s new reality show lineups, including Vulture’s new Reality Masterclass, which features our arch-nemesis, N*** V****. We are not happy about it. What is making us happy is Middle of Nowhere, Kacey Musgraves’ 10/10 new album, and Running Point  Season 2! Mindy Kaling, give us all the shitty sets and big suits! We also dissect the big Summer House reunion audio leak and whether Amanda Batula is a psychopath or just getting a really bad re-edit. That and oh so much more.

FLYOVER DEEPDIVE - Yesteryear By Caro Clare Burke

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]
