Bay 11

Our dynamic duo discusses some celebs who recently found breaking up with class is hard to do. They also speculate about Taylor Swift's highly-anticipated new album, and suggest a tried-and-true life hack for high school students. All that plus undying love for the Gilmore Girls on "Caffeinated."

We start our sixth season of "Bay 11" with guest Justin Skinner, author and host of the "Professional Failure" podcast. The 2004 HHS grad tells Lauren Jackson why failure can be such a positive thing in our lives, and why he chose it as the theme. Then two sisters who were both crowned queens at Hillcrest visit with Zao Shatto about the traditions of Homecoming week from 30 years ago. Leah (Shows) Miller and Rachelle (Shows) Peak make us wonder, whatever happened to those Corvette convertibles?

This is the first episode of "Caffeinated," a new Bay 11 production hosted by Abi Phillips and Emily Clotfelter. They cover a young star getting unfairly "canceled," the pressure of a new school year, reviews of "Never Have I Ever" and the music video for "Breakfast." All that plus a visit with a Central High School student who made it into the Guinness Book of Records thanks to his skill on a unicycle, and his mastery of the Rubik's Cube.
