October 11, 2023 184: Beckham, RHONY, Mauricio + Leslie, & McConaughey 2028
Lauren and Chan give their thoughts on the David Beckham documentary- both the truly stunning as well as the surprisingly garish. Seeing David and Victoria Beckham in their editorially controlled element was a stunning sight that may have the gals watching more soccer, ahem, football in the future. Lauren and Chan then chatted the newest episode of RHONY, which had them reversing their opinions about which cast members they were loving, and why the mean girl antics of a few Housewives really left a bad taste in their mouth. They then dug into the rumors that Mauricio Umansky may have a new woman on his arm, and why the gals are exhausted with the mental ping pong that is taking place with Mauricio and Kyle. Finally, they discussed Matthew McConaughey's appearance on Smartness and why Chan was ready to take a cold shower after listening.

September 27, 2023 182: Taylor & Travis?! + 8 Passengers aka Ruby Franke Deep Dive ft. Courtney Grow & Kyle Deford
Lauren and Chan are taking listeners on a deep dive that covers the rise and fall of Ruby Franke, the Utah mommy vlogger behind the former YouTube channel 8 Passengers.
Before they get into the deep dive, special guests Courtney Grow and Kyle DeFord join Chan for an emergency Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce debrief, as this couple could be the uniting force that this country so desperately needs.
Lauren and Chan chat about the early days of 8 Passengers, which had 2.8 million subscribers at its peak. Subscribers would watch Ruby give parenting advice and glimpses into her family's life.
There were definite warning signs of abuse going on behind the scenes, and Lauren and Chan discuss specific instances where it was clear that all was not well with this family.
When Ruby and her business partner/counselor Jodi Hildebrant were arrested in August 2023, former 8 Passengers fans were horrified to learn of the abuses that the Franke children had endured and were also left with many questions.
The gals discuss two people who have been victimized by Jodi Hildebrandt, which shows the damage that can be done when someone exercises tyrannical power over another.
They also discuss the lingering million dollar question: Where was the father Kevin Franke when his children were enduring such abusive conditions?

September 06, 2023 179: Kevin Costner & Christine Baumgartner Love Story & Divorce DEEP DIVE
SHOP THE "LUXURY IS IN MY DNA" MERCH DROP HERE! On today's episode, the gals are breaking down the contentious divorce proceedings of Kevin Costner and his soon to be ex-wife Christine, as well as the trouble in paradise for Chanler's favorite boy bander, Joe Jonas and his wife Sophie Turner.
Lauren and Chan dive into Kevin Costner's first divorce, where ex-wife, Cindy Silva, made out like a bandit in their divorce proceedings. This explains why Kevin had an ironclad prenup with second wife Christine, which leaves her with very little in comparison. Despite her most tearful and dramatic efforts at gaining Judge sympathy and claiming their children are so used to living in luxury that it's "in their DNA at this point" she was not granted her request of $249,000 a month in child support.
Christine is now living a nightmare, complete with a luxury 4-bedroom Montecito rental where her children have to share a bathroom with nary an ocean view in sight. The gals don't know how she is going to get by on her $60,000 a month child support payment and are sending their thoughts and prayers. Lauren and Chan also discuss all the evidence that indicates a split between Chan's adolescent love Joe Jonas and wife Sophie Turner is imminent. They go through the timeline of the couple's relationship as well as the warning signs that divorce could be looming.

August 30, 2023 178: Irina Shayk Topless in Italy, Ballerina Farm is Mrs. American 🇺🇸, More Celeb News + Q&A
Lauren dives into Irina Shayk’s NSFW Instagram photos with a surprising photographer. This leads one to believe that she and Tom Brady are definitely no longer seeing each other. She touches on Rachel Levisses follow up interview on Bravo Tea with Jared B, where Rachel talks about how she bought into the fictional relationship fantasy that Tom Sandoval was selling. This leads to some tough love on relationships that are lacking in reassurance and commitment. Lauren then illuminates listeners into the wonder and dissonance of the Instagram account @ballerinafarm. This stunning account is what pastural ASMR dreams are made of, although there are some facts that have some feeling a little less enchanted with the fantasy life that has been shown one stunning reel at a time.
Lauren then dives into listener questions:
-which unhinged conspiracy theory might actually be true
-why she hasn’t gone to any Eras tour concerts
-how to spice up a marriage
-how many children she would like to have
-what her colorist does to her hair
-where to get an engagement ring
-what is her favorite lip color
-will she ever get filler
-if she will ever do a Patreon episode on psychedelics
-how to not give an F
Finally, Lauren finishes up the episode with some late-breaking celebrity stories, such as tacky VPR cast tattoos, Erika Jaynes delusions, and Kanye’s latest antics.
Don’t forget that Casita Jewelry is giving all listeners 30% off during the month of August using code POPAPOLOGISTS. Shine bright like a diamond with some of the truly stunning pieces found at casitajewelry.com
