Hi besties! 

We’re back! We kick off this ep with a run-down of Maggie’s Euro trip and a brief overview of the stories we missed whilse she was away. Think: The Titan sub, Taylor Swift tickets and Collen Ballinger’s Toxic Gossip Train. Yikes.

In our next segment, we discuss why Hollywood boyfriends are acting up and exposing themselves. From Jonah Hill’s “boundaries” list to Keke Palmer’s partner outfit-shaming her, boyfriends are truly embarrassing at the moment. We break down the impacts of therapy speech when weaponised by toxic men. 

Next, we discuss an article that’s been doing the rounds online. Beware the ‘beige-fluencers’, cheerleaders for a life of no surprises by Sarah Manavis for The Guardian is a think piece on modern influencer culture and asks if romanticising the mundane is to live a boring life. 

We discuss our places in this lifestyle content, why Gen Z might be romanticising stability, and the internet’s response to the article. 

For recommendations, Maggie loved This Is Not A Pity Memoir by Abi Morgan and Jas loved The ‘lazy girl job’ trend romanticises the drudgery of work by Serena Smith for Dazed Mag. 

Chat soon!! Jas and Mags xo
