Kylie joins us again, a year after the release of ‘Rise of Red,’ after her EP ‘B.O.Y.,’ and after the Zombies/Descedents tour. Now she’s back with the latest installment of Disney’s Descendents ‘Wicked Wonderland,’ and a new EP ‘Valley Girl Problems’ - a collection of wall-to-wall pop perfection with lyrics that are searingly vulnerable and evisceratingly on-point. As her private life imploded she poured everything into journals and with the help of Tayla Parx and Tricky Stewart she turned that heartbreak into songs that will resonate with anyone who’s been blindsided in life. She was processing in real time. And yes we do talk about ‘Wicked Wonderland’… could this be the end of Red for Kylie? Watch to find out. This episode is sponsored by AlexaPlus.

Long Beach's own GIVĒON joins us on the couch for the first time to talk about the deluxe version of his album 'BELOVED II.' The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter reflects on growing up on the east side of Long Beach, the first song he ever wrote, his Barry White-esqu baritone, working on Justin Bieber's “Peaches,” and collaborating with artists including Leon Thomas and Teddy Swims. (Turns out he was a Nickelodeon fan.)Of course we have to talk about his breakout hit “Heartbreak Anniversary,” but the conversation also hits on skincare, celebrating small wins, accosting SZA at the mall and singing to her. Plus wrestling, romance as an art form, learning from past relationships (and what he wants), why failure is often the first step toward success, and so much more. He’s actually so funny. Just the story about him and his brother’s name being pronounced incorrectly for their whole lives is worth the click!

Twenty years after releasing his classic debut album 'In My Own Words,' Ne-Yo joins us to reflect on that record and the songs that changed his life while introducing his new album country-R&B album, 'Highway 79.' He looks back on his legendary collaborations with Swedish songwriting duo Stargate, the creation of “So Sick,” and the stories behind songs like “Closer” and “Miss Independent,” and all the hits he wrote for others like Rihanna’s “Take a Bow” (she was just a teen when they first met), and Beyoncé's “Irreplaceable” — a song he originally wrote for himself.Ne-Yo also opens up about why country music inspired his latest project, the changing definition of pop, and why he feels vulnerability has disappeared from modern R&B. Along the way, he shares memories of writing for Rihanna and Michael Jackson, explains why the singer always matters as much as the song itself, writing in Nashville, being a dad to seven kids, playing the Grand Ole Opry and so much more. What’s the inspo behind newie ‘Ms. Tundra’? Will we ever get a new Rihanna LP? Will the songs he wrote for MJ ever see the light of day? Maybe Ne-Yo has the answers… Stream "Highway 79" ►►https://neyo.lnk.to/Highway79This episode is sponsored by AlexaPlus.

Always a joy to have Olivia O’Brien back on the pod — this time to discuss her latest album ‘Pixie’ (it’s her haircut, but listen, she definitely was big into fairies back in the day). It’s been a decade since her breakout hit 'i hate u, i love u' with gnash introduced her to the world, and Olivia is embracing a new era — teaming up with Day Wave aka Jackson Phillips — to create a record that’s indie-pop leaning and as brutally honest as ever. The long purple hair is gone, she’s over her previous attraction to “internet boys,” and her songs showcase her perspective on love, identity, and growing up in the spotlight from this 26-year-old vantage point.So of course we get into it: the manic pixie dream girl trope, her haircut, and how autobiographical the album really is. She also reflects on 10 years of her breakout song, the disconnect between public perception and reality, being cheated on, dating apps, supporting Benson Boone, the pressure to chase perfection, oversharing and the internet, living with OCD, and so much more.Steam "Pixie" ►►https://thegamma.lnk.to/PIXIEThis episode is sponsored by AlexaPlus.

This inimitable, hilarious, and quip-tastic D’arcy Carden joins us on the couch for the first time to discuss her new ensemble show ‘Five Star Weekend,’ where she plays an over-eager pal with zero social awareness alongside stellar cast including Jennifer Garner, Chloe Sevigny, Regina Hall, and Gemma Chan, to name a few! But we also had to get into her iconic other roles, specifically Janet from ‘The Good Place,’ her early years juggling improv at Upright Citizens Brigade, and popping into numerous eps of ‘Broad City’ thanks to her fellow UCB crew Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. Oh and nannying for none other than Bill Hader who she ultimately wound up on screen with ‘Barry’ alongside Henry Winkler. Phew. We also discuss her adoration of Maya Rudolph (another co-star), her cool as hell upbringing in the Bay Area, her love of Pearl Jam, her cry prep playlist, her appearances on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Jeopardy,’ plus her special bond with Lenny Kravitz and just what The Smashing Pumpkins had to do with her changing the spelling of her name.

Thirteen years since the end of ‘Victorious’ and its spin-off is now imminent: ‘Hollywood Arts,’ starring Daniella Monet reprising her role as Trina (and exec producing). Crazy. Crazier still that Monet — who came up with Zach — has never been on the show. So this interview is really more like a catch up with old friends as they reflect on the next chapter of one of Nickelodeon's most beloved franchises. Together they look back at the original show's legacy, where we left Trina, how the show came together, and what fans can expect as the story picks up — with a few familiar faces set to return.Beyond ‘HA’ Daniella opens up about balancing acting with raising two children, why Hallmark movies have become such a great fit for this stage of her life, and the changing entertainment landscape since she first dreamed of landing a Nickelodeon show. Other topics discussed: the ‘Victorious’ cast group chat, Trina's evolution, Daniella's audition for ‘Hannah Montana’ and ‘Chicago’ (she busts out some bars), an unexpected run-in with Tom Cruise, filming a McDonald's commercial as a vegan, whether Zach might finally make his long-awaited cameo in the ‘Victorious’ universe, and so much more.This episode is sponsored by AlexaPlus.

Best known to many through her hilarious TikToks which often rope in her Oscar-winning legend of a Martin Scorsese, 26-year-old Francesca is also carving out a career as an actor/director/writer in her own right and she joins us fresh off the announcement that she’s been cast in Season 2 of Amazon's 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith.' We talk about growing up on legendary film sets, why acting scares her more than directing, and how the two disciplines inform one another. Francesca also opens up about hyperfixation, anxiety, becoming a caregiver after her mother was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's, the heartbreak of grieving someone who is still alive (the experiences of which informed her short film ‘Fish Out of Water’), navigating "nepo baby" discourse, and responding to TikTok haters. We also chat about the script she's currently writing, crushing on Asa Butterfield during 'Hugo,' her blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the One Direction doc, what she thinks about Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, Saint Carlo Acutis, and plenty more.This episode is sponsored by AlexaPlus.
