Kate Kennedy of Be There in Five is back (!!) and this week we’re asking an important question: where did recession pop go? Back in the 2008-2012 time period, the economy was in shambles but we had Pitbull and Flo Rida and so many other artists giving us songs about #YOLO and going out and having a good time but now in 2026…we have a terrible economy, data centers popping up everywhere, the Epstein files out (and nothing done about them) and the music isn’t giving us the bangers we needed back in the 2010s to get through the times!

Join us for this episode as we break it all down - and have many a tangent about Taylor Swift Tumblr lore, Tom Cruise, the downfall of Justin Timberlake, Rihanna (could she put out an album and SAVE US in 2026?) and so much more.

Why is Nicole Kidman suddenly everyone’s muse? This week, we’re going down the Nicole Kidman rabbit hole - from Troye Sivan and ADÉLA’s obsession with her, to her secret Ibiza rave life, her even more secret engagement to Lenny Kravitz, her complicated history with Scientology, and the bisexual rumor that had the internet convinced she once dated Naomi Watts. We also touch on why Nicole is such a figure in conspiracy circles, the theories about her father, and the eternal question: what exactly is it about Nicole Kidman that makes her so damn magnetic?

We love to gossip, but we never want celebrities to be listening…and it turns out that lately, they always are!
This week, Shannon is joined by Kayla of Kayla Says to talk about a strange change in celebrity culture: famous people are now scrolling the exact same TikToks, tweets and YouTube videos that we are…that includes the content we make about celebrities.
Kayla tells her crazy story of Todrick Hall finding her video about him and FaceTiming her for TWO HOURS to explain his side. Then Shannon and Kayla get into Joey King responding to criticism of her Practical Magic 2 casting, Hailey Bieber's cease-and-desists, Selena Gomez fighting back in the comments, and so much more.
When does criticism cross the line into cruelty? Should celebrities be allowed to respond to random people giving opinions on their movies and albums? Why does a celebrity acknowledging a rumor sometimes make everyone believe it MORE? And have social media and stan culture completely destroyed the mystique that used to separate celebrities from the rest of us?
I mean….can we please gossip about the teachers without the teachers coming into the lunchroom and giving us detention?
