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.

The gals discuss Ariana Madix’s new cocktail book “Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches”, which will be coming to a Barnes and Noble clearance section near you in December. This leads to Chan’s controversial take on what all VPR cast members are lacking. Lauren and Chan dive into Heather Dubrow’s comments about Ozempic, which may be on its way to be viewed the same way as botox. The gals discuss their current feelings about Ozempic, and why their opinions have done a 180 since their initial podcast discussion. Aside from some celebrities blatantly lying about how they recently lost weight, Lauren and Chan fully support the Big O.

In case you missed it, Taylor Swift recently attended the wedding of longtime friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff and actress Margaret Qualley. After Taylor’s presence caused the rehearsal dinner property to resemble Coachella, Lauren and Chan considered whether the fanfare that constantly accompanies Taylor served as an irritation to the bride, or if it just added to the festivities. Lauren and Chan cannot go without a quick style analysis of Taylor’s wedding looks, as well as their approval of her surgical enhancements and her choice of beverage in her Queen of the World Era. Chan leads the way though a brief Margaret Qualley bio and her short-lived romance with Shia LeBeouf, which lead to an unexpected connection with FKA Twigs.

The gals finish up the episode with Lauren’s hilarious brush with Instagram scammers, who peaked her interest with their alleged abilities to remove all of Lauren’s blockages and propel her to become the star she was meant to be.

Lauren recently had her eyes opened to the possibility that Taylor Alison Swift, modern poet and prophetess, has been laying Easter eggs for years that she has in fact had romances with women. The gals are not ones to jump on the conspiracy bandwagon, but the evidence to support #gaylor is compelling. Lauren gives proof to the validity of this theory through social media posts, photos, and lyrical evidence that Taylor has been showing fans all along that she is more than just a LGBTQ ally. Chan then leads a detailed explanation of the Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham wedding lawsuit and countersuit between the Peltz family and their wedding planners of nine days, Plan Design Events. Brace yourself for some truly astounding details of what goes into planning the wedding of A-list and billionaire offspring, as well as how quickly things went south.
