About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of the World Cup, celebrity break-ups, and recent weddings while exploring various cultural trends.

The soccer World Cup is officially over, which means we’re now desperately searching for a new personality, anyone got any suggestions? We’re also breaking down the tournament’s first-ever half-time show, which felt like one big FIFA dream. Next up, we’re diving deep into the Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley break-up and presenting our very scientific theory on why they split. Spoiler: it all comes down to their wildly mismatched ~auras~. It was also weddings galore over the weekend, with Sporty Spice, aka Melanie C, tying the knot with her Aussie beau, and Taylor Swift’s ex Matty Healy also saying “I do” in a very rock-and-roll ceremony. Plus, our INs and OUTs include a genius haircut hack, a vintage camera app and the birthday-party trend we’re ready to retire.
