    It's pop culture queen of the month where we feature an iconic woman owning the spotlight and crown her queen! But first we're yapping about our voices, jumping out of airplanes into war, and becoming the family matriarchs. Next, Hollis is filling us in on the latest nonsense from Russel Brand and Usher and we've got thoughts. It's all really giving women don't matter and we prefer not to hear from them again. What do you think? Then it's time for a quick reality check where we dish on the latest bravo tv happenings. We've got thoughts about the summer house audio leak, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, and the Valley. We could maybe do without hearing from Luke or Danny for a while too. Finally, it's time to get in the weeds with our pop culture queen of the month, Teyana Taylor. She is an extremely accomplished multi talented star. We'll be covering her early start in the industry, career trajectory in music, fashion, acting, and directing, awards and recognitions, and her current and future projects. We are so impressed with her resume and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for her. As always we wrap it up with gripes about icks and sunset truther types (IYKYK) and grapes to spring and snack delights.

  • Reality Check: Double Standards in Parenting, Pick Me Girls, and Bravo TV Drama
    Apr 22 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We're discussing double standards in parenting, the social construct of pick me girls, and digging into a reality check to dish on the latest Bravo TV drama. But, first we're debriefing Hollis's birthday celebration and sharing some embarrassing cell phone faux pas moments. Next, we're reminiscing about Bob and Tom. RIP Bob. Tell me your an 80s baby without telling me your an 80s baby. Then we're discussing Emma Grede's comment in the Wall Street Journal about being a 3 hour mom. We expect mothers to do it all, do it all perfectly, and do it all with gratitude to be given the opportunity, regardless of what is actually reasonable or even possible. And the double standard when discussing fathers is glaring. Next, we've got a circle back to the Blake Lively lawsuit and some expanded thoughts on the conversation around the Summer House Drama. We're discussing pick me girls, labels we affix to women, and we use them as tools to criticize and tear each other down. Then it's on to the Valley and Danny Booko's darkside, Dorit's bob era, her streams of revenue, and Boz's engagement and pregnancy announcement. As always we wrap it up with gripes about weak bladders and new appliances and grapes to productivity and true advertising. Join us!

    We're joined today by our dear friend and guest Zach Smith as he shares his perspective on male friendship, not subscribing to societal standards of marriage and children for happiness, and what it's like dating in your 50s. Join us as we get in the weeds with Zach and dig deep on what best friendship looks like between adult men. Do they talk about the hard stuff? Do they tell each other they love each other? Are they communicating on multiple platforms at all times? Are they starting hypothetical businesses and fantasizing about the future together? Tune in to find out! Next, we've got questions about what makes him feel valuable as a man and his thought's about socioeconomic success and masculinity. Then we're diving into what, if any, pressure he felt over the years to pursue traditional values of marriage and family and why he ultimately chose not to. Next, we're discussing beauty standards and aging and we're wondering whether or not men feel similarly to women about having to subscribe to a certain look. In this conversation, Zach opens up about unkindness and discrimination he has experienced as someone living in a bigger body and exactly why he's unbothered by it. Finally we're getting the scoop on dating in your 50s, why Zach's not on the apps, and what a desirable partnership would look like at this stage in his life. As always we wrap up the episode with gripes about losers, lolly gaggers, and kid's toys and grapes to satisfying hygiene, nice days, and modern conveniences. We had fun with this one and we hope you enjoy!

This week we're discussing one of our favorites, Never Been Kissed!

But first, we're yapping about no longer being a marijuana podcast, Wheel of Fortune, and Sam traumatizing her six year old. Then we're complaining about no longer being able to procrastinate and how hard it is to prioritize things and effectively manage our time.

We're bringing you our thoughts on the situation as well a conversation surrounding the future of reality TV and the people that find themselves there.

  • "Difficult Women": Discrimination, Career Challenges, and Double Standards in the Hollywood Spotlight
    Apr 1 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, we dive into the "difficult" label often affixed to ambitious and assertive women in Hollywood. We explore the discrimination and career challenges they face when speaking up for themselves and others and the glaring double standard compared to men's experiences. But first, we've got an exciting opening segment! We're doing a live taste test for a fun local collaboration with Pizza X and content creator Sadie Clarke @sadieeatsfood on IG. Tune in for the review! Then we're yapping about Helen Hunt, The Dinosaurs, and Taylor Frankie Paul. We have a lot of thoughts regarding the video and her recent behavior, her relationship with Dakota, and how networks handle these situations. We're still working out how we feel about all of it and no doubt there will circle backs. IYKYK. Speaking of circle backs we've got some clarifications and expansions on last week's conversation around feminism, what it means, and how we approach issues in the current climate. Then it's time for a quick reality check where we dish on the latest reality TV happenings. We've got thoughts on the Southern Charm reunion and Paige Desorbo's remarks and transparency about her experience with Botox. Finally, we're getting in the weeds with a conversation about Hollywood women who have been labeled as difficult, ungrateful, and classless and faced severe career challenges simply for being outspoken, standing up for themselves, and being successful. We're highlighting Katherine Heigl, Jennifer Lawrence, Megan Fox, and Anne Hathaway and comparing their experiences to those of their male counterparts. As always we wrap it up with gripes about parental responsibilities and gift giving struggles and grapes to simple conveniences and humble snacks!

  • Pop Culture Queen: Scott Galloway and Margaret Atwood on Worthless Fathers and Bad Feminists
    Mar 25 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's pop culture queen of the month where we feature an iconic woman owning the spotlight and crown her queen! But first we're yapping about potty training, women's history month, and our 6 degrees of separation from a new RHONY housewife. Then we need to talk about Scott Galloway's latest remarks on paternity leave and the role of fathers in an newborn's life. We're sharing our thoughts on Scott's original remarks in an interview he conducted on his podcast with Derek Thompson and his response to the backlash. Next, we're crowning Margaret Atwood as this month's PCQ and Hollis is leading the discussion on her background, career as an author, poet, and feminist figure, and controversies surrounding a incident involving SA allegations against one of her former colleagues (Trigger Warning there is light discussion around the SA allegations with very little to no detail). She is an extremely smart and accomplished woman who has had a huge impact on pop culture most notably with her book turned hit Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale. She has solidified herself, perhaps unwillingly, as a divisive feminist figure with a body of work featuring female protagonists and encompassing themes around gender roles, identity, agency, and sexual and power politics. She was such an interesting person to learn about and we hope you enjoy learning about her as much as we did! We're wrapping today's episode up with a quick she's in the comments segment and our weekly grapes and gripes! Thanks for being here weed whackers!
