This week, Brooke is back after the Labor Day long weekend and is coming to you from the tail end of a brutal Los Angeles heatwave. There’s a lot to catch up on, from TikTok trends to new TV shows, but first, Brooke talks about the backlash she received on Threads for posting about how we have to be friends with people who have different political beliefs than us in reference to Taylor Swift hugging Brittany Mahomes at the US Open (note: this episode was recorded before T-Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris). We also have the Trauma Candy Salad, the absurd but brilliant opening dance sequence in the new *murder mystery* show “The Perfect Couple,” Kendrick Lamar v Drake Super Bowl edition, and finally, a masterclass in PR from Craftmix.
