About this episode
Jodi and guest Charles Holmes discuss various topics including a boat virus outbreak, celebrity news, and personal obsessions.
It’s Charles Holmes Week!! While Nora gets hitched and honeymooned during the month of May, we’ll have four very special besties of the pod to talk about their obsessions. Up second is Charles Holmes! Jodi and Charles first do a quickfire round of takes on reader-suggested topics (2:55), before getting into the awful things that happened on boats this week, including the hantavirus outbreak (14:45), photos of Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel’s boat trip from 2021 (28:30), and where we stand before the ‘Summer House’ reunion (they were on a boat last week!!) (38:09). Then, criticism is so back with Pitchfork’s review of Chris Brown’s new album (54:16) and the Current Affairs piece on Jimmy Fallon (1:04:55). Finally, they have a Hot Take Happy Hour, where they touch on Sydney Sweeney, Lena Dunham, Hollywood’s representation of OnlyFans, and Tom Holland as a father (1:11:48). Last but not least, they each share their personal obsession for the week (1:33:40). Shop Pandora today, in-store or online at Pandora.net.
