Ep.17: 2016 Was That Girl – Pokémon Go, Dog Filters & Peak Internet Culture

Ep.21: Hot Mess Celebrity Arrests, Harry Potter & The Bachelorette Canceled

Before we hit pause for a short hiatus (don’t worry—Season 2 is coming in June 👀), we had to squeeze in one last chaotic, pop culture–packed episode. From celebrity scandals to TV drama and internet-breaking headlines, this one truly has everything. We kick things off with the latest surrounding Tiger Woods and his DUI arrest, unpacking why people are questioning his choices—especially given his past. Then we get into the resurfaced body cam footage from Justin Timberlake’s arrest, and why, somehow, the internet seems a little more forgiving this time around. From there, we dive into the ever-evolving world of Taylor Swift, who is now facing a trademark dispute that could impact her latest album rollout. We also get into the lingering tension rumors between her and Olivia Rodrigo. We shift into TV talk with the return of Euphoria, breaking down what to expect from the new season, the noticeable time jump, and the rumored behind-the-scenes tension between cast members. We also reflect on how much the show has changed, both on and off screen, and why this season might feel very different. Things take a turn to Broadway when we talk about Megan Thee Stallion and her intense Moulin Rouge debut, including the scary moment that landed her hospitalized from exhaustion and dehydration—proving just how demanding that level of performance really is! We also get into HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series, sharing our thoughts on the darker tone, deeper character exploration, and whether it can actually live up to the iconic films??? Plus, we go on a mini rant about binge culture vs. weekly episode releases and why we might actually prefer the old-school way of watching TV. And finally, we close things out with Taylor Frankie Paul, and The Bachelorette being canceled for the first time ever. Yes, canceled. The drama? Unmatched. Grab your popcorn, your headphones, and maybe a glass of wine… and let's Yap About It!

Ep.20: We Have Thoughts… Oscars 2026, Snubs, Surprises, & MORE

This week on Yap About It, we’re covering everything that had the internet talking — and yes, we have a lot of thoughts. First up, celebrity headlines you probably saw (and maybe didn’t believe), including rumors about Tom Holland and Zendaya being married… and all the AI photos. Then, they we discuss the shocking situation involving A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, a reminder that fame isn’t always glamorous. We also get into Timothée Chalamet stirring up controversy (again) after his comments about opera and ballet — and let’s just say… the internet had opinions. Then it’s time for the main yap: the 98th Academy Awards. From Conan O'Brien’s hosting moments to the wins, the snubs, and the questionable decisions, we’re breaking it all down. Was Best Picture deserved? Who should’ve won? And why are we still thinking about certain movies days later? We’re also talking standout performances like Michael B. Jordan’s big win, Jessie Buckley’s emotional performance, and the films that had us shocked, confused, or fully invested (Begonia, we’re looking at you 👀). Plus — major wins and history-making moments, including K-Pop Demon Hunters taking over, huge representation milestones, and horror finally getting its flowers at the Oscars. Oh, and we have to talk about everything in between: Irish actors taking over Hollywood, speeches getting cut off (rude), viral moments, and all the little details that made this year’s awards unforgettable. Grab your popcorn (or a glass of wine) and let’s Yap About It!. 🎬🍿

Ep. 19: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl, Grammy Highlights, Cringey Press Tours & EGOTs

Then we get into the chaotic Wuthering Heights press tour that has the internet cringing, before breaking down the Super Bowl from the only angles that matter: the commercials and the halftime show. From Sabrina Carpenter’s Pringles moment to Bad Bunny’s culture-packed halftime performance, we discuss the best moments (and the weirdest ones). We also recap the 2025 Grammys — including historic wins, surprising results, Justin Bieber’s stripped-down performance, and the artists we’re most excited about right now. Plus: EGOT milestones, rising stars, red carpet chaos, and plenty of hot takes along the way. Grab your popcorn (or a glass of wine) and let’s Yap About It!

But the magic didn’t stop at the theater doors. We’re sharing our full NYC holiday experience — surviving snowstorms, navigating Times Square chaos, hunting down the best Christmas trees, and of course, eating our way through the city. From steak at Delmonico’s and hot butterbeer at the Harry Potter store to bagels, pizza, cocktails, and baked Alaska, this episode turns into a full-on food tour.
