Age Ain't Nothing But a Number: The Phenomenon of (Alleged) Bisexual Men and Older Women in Hollywood
This is an episode off our typical beaten path, but I recently started noticing a bit of a trend in Hollywood. Men who have "queer" blinds and rumors in Hollywood (Shawn Mendes, Harry Styles, Nick Jonas, even Hugh Jackman) usually have a history or reputation for dating older women. I wanted to dive a bit into ...

I don't like Jimmy Kimmel
Pardon the incredibly blatant episode title haha, but I've wanted to dive into a few of these late night talk show hosts for a while now, and with Jimmy Kimmel poo-pooing those talking about Epstein lately...I figured there's no time like the present! The more I researched Jimmy (Kimmel, not Fallon) the more I ...
Shrek! Stay with me here, hahaha
I know it seems insane to do an episode about the cartoon movie SHREK, but this is a fun one.

Thoughts on Daisy Jones and the Six series...
Just a quick note! Wanted to share my thoughts on how the book translated to the screen, dying to know what other folks from book club (or who read the book) thought about the show

Donald Trump (and his family's) blind items and rumors
Let's get political! I had plans to do a "politics" episode, but after putting together a research doc on the Trump & Biden families I realized...oh boy, just each of them alone is worth their own episode. Let me know if you're interested in a future Biden episode or any other politicians, OR if you'...

Leaked Taylor songs!
I know there are fellow Swifties in here...her leaked songs came out recently. The main highlight for me was Taylor's version of This is What You Came For, and her songs "Need" and "All of the girls" in full! Looks/sounds like they almost made the cut for the Lover album
The magic of Timbaland and his midas touch
Happy Friday, floozies! This week I'm trying a technique for the first time where we dive into one impactful music artist and throughout their episode deep dive (his relationships with other artists, blind items, and more) we interweave the songs and music clips being referenced. Let me know how you like this style...
"Dark femininity will not save you"
Madisyn is a recent friend of mine here in NYC and her video essays are fantastic - we realized today that we are both releasing content on the same topic (our FYPs are definitely very similar haha) so for anyone interested in more content on the topic, her video is a great watch!
