TONIGHT ON...the pod. It's time we speak on our Love Island thoughts (US AND UK) and things get...heated. We then quickly (after 10 whole minutes) pivot to our Las Culturistas Culture Awards recap, Kellie's backstage affair with Will Ferrell (have some freaking class, Kellie), and discuss which current Hollywood relationships are PR or not PR. (Like: Benson Boone and Alix Earle, we have a question or TWO...) We also have our third surprise phone-in guest of the season and this one will make y...

First things first, we want to give the warmest welcome to our cohost of this episode: Pink Mini Hat. Our sassy, MOUTHY bestie! Ok, so the US might've lost the World Cup, but our fleeting patriotism lives on in watching visitors from other countries experience Americana for the first time: we're talking Buc-ee's, Big Gulps, portions that require a to-go box on arrival." It's ridiculous. It's charming. It's "I wish I could see it all for the first time again through your eyes". Then we get utt...

This Pop Culture episode is a rapid-fire grab bag of reviews, hot takes, and a little chaos PLUS with a special guest appearance from Jon’s mom. We start with quick movie check-ins (from your local AMC A-Listers including Sheep Detective, Obsession, and Backrooms), then straight into Gen Z director discourse and Kellie's stunning recap of her attendance at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards (plus an award snub that still stings). From there it’s Will Ferrell appreciation, some questionable tr...

Say it with us: optimization culture is ruining fun! In a very juicy episode 7, we bounce from chaotic personal updates to bigger “how do we actually enjoy life?” questions. We kick things off with the 75 chud challenge then spiral into how optimization culture can suck the fun out of everything - bring back wicked hangovers in 2026! Well, maybe not, but you get our point! From there, it’s recap season: Kellie’s wedding, Jon’s Martha’s Vineyard trip, and a stunning deep dive into oysters (and...

First of all, a belated congrats to the happy couple: Martin Short and Meryl Streep. May your dramatics and theatrics complement one another for the rest of time! We're back with another pop culture mini episode...and we're feeling free to roam about the cabin 🫡 We gossip about busting THE Mythbusters themselves, the fear of catching fire at the gas station, and call on anyone and everyone to join our Love Island watch-along, as we will be talking about it ad nauseam <3 We also have a spec...

*inhale, exhale* Welcome to a wonderfully frazzled Episode 6, dear Dykwimpers! In this episode, Jon gets a little Nicholas Sparks with it and brings beautiful sap, sentiment and a whole thesis to the table (classic “The Man Who Has It All”). We chat about the phenomenon of the last time being the last time, and the temporary versions of ourselves - whom we all need to be nicer to and give grace to, FYI. But caution: Diet Cokes might hit harder than they appear. Bouncing off the wa...

Welcome to our first official pop culture mini episode! We’re trying something new!! This week we discuss Rihanna album rumors, the Met Gala, and why men need to be banned from wearing plain black tuxes to fashion events immediately. We also report live from District 12, unpack Billie Eilish needing to maybe read the room (still love her to death!), revisit The Devil Wears Prada as the cultural text that it is, and debate what actually qualifies as a “film classic.” Jon rambles about foreign ...

WHEW, welcome to Ep 5! This episode has everything: apocalypse prep, hantavirus paranoia, wedding narcissism, chic shots, pinot grigio propaganda, influencer discourse, and kissing your bffs (sometimes). We're pouring over the architecture of what makes for a perfect bar while also trying to determine what DJs actually do besides point at things dramatically?? DJ dykwimpers, we need to hear from you... Lastly, the downfall of influencers, whether anything is sacred anymore, the social philoso...

It's cringey, its second hand embarrassment, it's...the inability to read the room; the age old skill that nobody truly teaches you but everyone should judge you on. From inappropriate workplace wear (looking at you backwards hats), to trapping group in stories that should’ve ended well over 30 minutes ago, we’re diving into the subtle art of social awareness. And if you think you're the problem, you probably are & that's ok!! We all are! Then, we shift gears to discuss how we shouldn't t...

This week on Episode 3 of DYKWIM, we are officially declaring a national holiday: the day of our long-awaited graduation from being permanently assigned to the paper plate zone at family gatherings… and into the wild world of being treated like a full-grown adults. We're debating when (if ever) this actually happens, and whether it always comes with Caribbean-style perks or just worse hangovers. Listen & weigh in yourselves! Then we dive into a highly serious academic study titled “Tiers ...
