It’s Become a Whole Thing

I'm joined by Maia of @maiachondrialmembrane on Tiktok to break down all the latest with the Kardashian family and their new show. The analysis begins at (5:05) where we discuss why one of Maia's videos made it to Page 6 and had to be addressed by Khloe Kardashian herself. We dig into the deeper meanings behind the family's distraction tactics leading up to the release of their new show on Hulu, including Kim and Pete, Kylie, Khloe and Tristan, Kourtney and Travis and the persona Kris Jenner portrays.

The Scooter Braun content starts at minute (12:20) if you'd like to skip ahead!
This week, from the Patreon archives Emily and Sammy P. deep dive into the infamous world of Scooter Braun, current or former manager of Justin, Bieber, Ariana Grande, Kanye West, Karlie Kloss and many other A-listers. He is also famously the sworn enemy of Taylor Swift.

We discuss his origin story and all the rumors about him being a ruthless and overbearing manager who pushes his artists to the brink.
And of course, we break down the complicated and very public event of him buying Taylor Swift's masters, leading Taylor to tell her fans to “let him know how they feel about that” aka barrage him with d*ath threats (Taylor's Version). Many celebrities, including Karlie Kloss, had some choice words about this feud which we break down because, of course.

We're joined by Dr. Aditi Paul, researcher and professor specializing in online relationships and modern relationships. (5:00) We talk about how the language we use influences how we think about relationships and vice-versa. (8:00) We get into the data behind the confusing term “hooking up” and what it means to different generations. (12:00) We discuss the data behind what Gen Z is actually looking for: meaningless sex, meaningful relationships or somewhere in between? (19:00) We talk about how we pretend to be in online dating profiles vs. how people actually live their lives – ie. everyone pretending to rabidly love hiking when most of us are hobbyless potatoes most of the time. (26:00) I ask her my burning question – how real is Euphoria based on the data?? More specifically, how real is the sex and drug-induced haze that TV portrays for today's youth? (31:00) Finally, we discuss the #1 dating fear of Gen Z and the lack of progress on the orgasm gap or the differing levels of pleasure that men, women and non-binary folks are getting from their hookups.

We're joined by Lex Niko to try to make sense of what we all witnessed this past week. First, we get personal and talk about our shared love of all things woo-woo, then (24:50) we get into the topic that got everyone talking – the Oscars. Yes, we share our thoughts on the slap. Yet we also share our dismay at all the topics that have been ignored in lieu of speaking about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, including Venus & Serena Williams, a win for Questlove and the 3 female comedians that hosted the evening.

(39:50) We also discuss the other notable moments of the night, namely Lauren Zima v. Angus Cloud and Lauren Zima v. Tiffany Haddish, Julia Fox creating a new meme with every word spoken and Beyonce opening the show with new music.

(55:00) We talk about the lack of difference between watching reality tv and pro sports.

(58:00) We talk about our shared favourite show and ask the listeners to take a long hard look at your self in the mirror if you're not already watching – Summer House.

(5:40) The fun of dealing with internet trolls

(12:00) We peel back the many layers of the latest Kanye news, trying to understand, unravel and unpack his antics from a few different viewpoints and wonder what will happen with his upcoming Coachella performance and the way Kim Kardashian factors into this situation

(32:30) early 2000s reality tv including The Swan and Joe Millionaire (remember that?!) and the show I Wanna Marry “Harry”

(37:30) Elon Musk and Grimes' new baby they welcomed via surrogate, Exa Dark Siderael, bringing Elon's total number of children to 7 along with the theory that he has a fetish for impregnating women.

(46:30) Bella Hadid admitting to some of her plastic surgery, denying others, the inevitable way you'd be screwed up from having Yolanda Hadid as a mom, and the different approaches that nepotism models take like Kendall and Kaia Gerber.

(102:00) Some quick Bravo thoughts; mainly on Summer House, the gateway drug for all non-Bravo watchers

Emily and Sam dive deep into the nefarious world of Hillsong, detailing how it went from a trendy celebrity church to shrouded by allegations of scandal, corruption, and systemic abuse.

(2:10) We start off lightly with some chitchat; ranking my past dysfunctional relationships and a shoutout to our listeners in unexpected places. (20:50) Then we explore the origins of Hillsong: an Australian export and their first megachurch. (23:00) We explore its image, looking like a trendy nightclub, turning around the “uncool” image of Christianity and attracting celebs celebs like Justin and Hailey Bieber. (31:50) We discuss Carl lentz and the pastors that act like a facsimile for holy figure while living lives of corruption and hypocrisy. (31:05) We detail all the celebs who are or were once involved in the church; Justin and Hailey, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Chris Pratt, Vanessa Hudgens, Bono and the Australian prime minister, touching on some blind items about Chris Pratt’s involvement in Hillsong and its dark implications.

(38:00) We discuss Justin Bieber’s questionable and bizarre relationship with leaders Carl Letz and Judas Smith; having no boundaries, Justin temporarily moving in with Carl Lentz. Was Carl Lentz grooming Justin?

(42:10) We discuss their flashy marketing as the “cool hipster church” covering up their subtle conversion therapy operation and Chris Pratt defending their homophobia and include a listener’s bizarre firsthand account of attending a Hillsong women’s conference.

(101:00) Content warning: one member's claims of SA at the church – (103:15)

(1:04:00) From the ashes of Hillsong, Churchome has risen; who’s on the board of directors of the “newest, coolest celebrity church” including the Kardashians, Ciara, and Lou Taylor and current members Justin and Hailey.

Content warning: SA, violence, abuse
