  • Being Controversial & Not Burning Bridges

    THE DELICATE ART OF HAVING OPINIONS!

    How do you say what you really think, stand by your views, and still remain invited to weddings, group chats, and family dinners? We’re talking about being controversial, handling disagreement, and finding the line between “I’m just being honest” and “Congrats, I actually hate u now." Plus, we chat more about meeting each other, first impressions, the stories we tell about ourselves, and whether those early perceptions actually hold up over time. It’s (as always) an ep about authenticity, relationships, awkward introductions, strong opinions, and trying to express yourself without going insane. Although, to be fair, a small controlled burn can sometimes be therapeutic.

  • Pop Culture: A-Listers, DWTS Recap, and Phantom Whistling

    Welcome back to pop culture and WOW is it good to be back. Today we're doing what we do best: having strong opinions about people we've never met.

    Kellie and Jon get into the official ranking system of fame - who's actually an A-lister, who's a B, who's a C, and where on earth does Zoë Kravitz land? Then it's on to the Emmys, a Big Brother check-in, and thoughts on this season of Dancing with the Stars.

    Plus: Ms. Rachel's net worth, which we have not stopped thinking about.

    Love you, Dykwimpers! xoxox

  • It's a Eurosummer After All

    It's 9 o'clock on a f***ing Tuesday, get your ass up, we're listening to DYKWIM. Let's go! 

    Jon is back from Europe and Kellie is back from... Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This week the two catch up after Jon's trip to Barcelona, Sicily and Ibiza (ok, Zara Larsson Eurosummer) where he met Calvin Harris (basically) and was officially made the mayor of gratitude city. And Kellie won't shut up about Cincinnati's Skyline...and if you haven't tried it, you're not living life to your fullest potential. 

    Plus: Jon almost missed his flight. But like, can't they just hold planes for 2 more minutes??? The drama! Also on the agenda: Outside Lands, candle scent preferences, and a very necessary conversation about bread bowls.

    Welcome back, Dykwimpers!

  • Pop Culture: The Odyssey, Movie Catch-Up, Ariana Grande's Album & more!

    This week, we're covering everything that's been living rent-free in our brains lately. Jon tells the story of a haunted experience involving Kellie's dog, JoJo, we celebrate The Odyssey (what a triumph!), and catch up on Kellie's latest Obsession.

    Then we're diving into Ariana Grande's new album, Bella Kay's rise to internet fame, Suki Waterhouse and Ethel Cain, Marvel, the song "iloveitiloveitiloveit," and whether Will Ferrell's son has been making incredible music under our noses this whole time. We also explain why we've become a little anti-generative AI... at least when it comes to creativity.

    Basically, if you've been online this week, we've got thoughts!! Enjoy xoxoxo

  • Feel Deeply. Even on Wednesdays.

    EPISODE 10! WELCOME! This week, Jon returns from Ireland emotionally attached to approximately half the country, Kellie starts dance classes (OK picking back up childhood hobbies!), and we discuss two of summer's greatest enemies: getting sick when the weather is finally nice and discovering that sunburns somehow get worse every hour.

    Then we stumble into two conversations that are lowk the the same thing. First, why do we feel embarrassed for caring so much? Whether it's grieving a coworker who leaves, missing someone you only knew for a week, or getting way too sentimental about a place you'll probably never see again, maybe having big feelings isn't something we should be trying to tone down. Maybe it's actually kinda sexy!

    Then we talk about the fact that most of life isn't vacations, weddings, or huge milestones. Most of it is just... Wednesday. So if we're always waiting for the next "big moment," we're kind of missing the life that's happening right now. How do we find excitement, gratitude (city), and meaning in the ordinary days that actually make up most of our lives?

    Basically, this episode is about romanticizing your Wednesdays and letting yourself care too much. JOIN US!!

  • Pop Culture: Emmy Nominations, Celebrity Weddings, and Love Island Recap (Last One, Promise!)

    Welcome to our full pop culture buffet. First course, per usual, is LOVE ISLAND USA. Full review, pre-finale thoughts, our favorite and least favorite contestants. And FYI: we agree to disagree on our thoughts, which is something special 🫶

    We pivot to the Emmys, where we (Jon) lovingly rage(s) about the same five shows getting nominated in the same twenty categories every single year (looking at you, Hacks and The Bear). And don't even get us started on The Bear being a "comedy." BUT, we'll of course still watch the Awards and continue bringing our every last opinion to the table.

    We close out with chats around a big celebrity wedding and our unabashed POV. It's a little of this and a whole lot of that…enjoy <3

  • Mean Girl Music and Appointment TV

    First things first: Jon’s new personality (his mustache) is here to stay (thank god). 

    After we settle that debate - and introduce our new Irish lingo into the chat - we discuss the art that is Mean Girl Music. Our toss in the ring for a new Grammy category. Picture this: the anthem/soundtrack of any mean girl clique in any movie ever…we hear you Charli XCX, Addison Rae. 

    We then dive head first into full nostalgia mode for appointment television - High School Musical premieres, American Idol group texts, waiting a literal week for new Bachelor Monday episodes. Which, obviously, dumps us straight into a Love Island deep dive: the bombshells, the contestant anxiety, the parasocial rot, and why neither of us has missed a single night. We F***ING 😉 love ya and are so glad you’re here xoxoxo

  • Pop Culture: Love Island US vs UK, Will Ferrell Love Affair, PR Relationships

    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 your heart f-ing melt, we swear.

  • World Cup Americana, Friendship Illiteracy, and Tiny Intimacies

    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 utterly speechless about friendship being criminally understudied. We can all talk about romantic relationships for HOURS, there are whole industries, songs, movies, books for it, but friendships? All those levels and tiers and unspoken rules…we want justice for friendships! Plus: a brief and important discussion of tiny intimacies (the stranger elevator ride, the accidental ear whisper - you know the ones).

    Also, Jon changes outfits approximately three times mid-recording (OW OW papa) and once again we are asking Strava to sponsor us. Strava. Baby. Call us.
