The Gal's Guide

This week, we’re fully entering our Halloween era. We’re talking our favorite horror movies, who among us would actually survive a horror film, and the very important art of holidaymaxxing. Plus, a truly horrifying dating story: getting ghosted by someone who was supposed to take you to Horror Nights. Because apparently the real horror is men.

In this episode, we’re giving you our full, completely candid breakdown of Taylor Swift’s four new songs from The Life of a Showgirl: what we loved, what left us confused, where we think Taylor’s career goes from here, and why The Encore has become one of the most divisive corners of Swiftie discourse.

Is bringing an iced coffee to a job interview actually a revolutionary act against capitalism, or do you just not know how to behave in a professional setting? This week, we’re getting into Gen Z’s ongoing war with basic etiquette, from dying on the hill that interview “rules” are oppressive to seemingly forgetting how to act at concerts and in movie theaters. Then, we have to address the bizarre idea that enjoying horror movies, being fascinated by the macabre, or liking anything remotely scary somehow says something sinister about your moral character. When did having manners become controversial, and why are we suddenly treating everyone’s hobbies like a psychological evaluation?

This week, we’re diving back into the Lindsay Clancy trial and the rise of red-pill content surrounding it. We’re talking about men online have used this case as an excuse to project their misogyny onto women and dismiss postpartum mental health entirely. Along with the internet’s complete misunderstanding of mental health, and what postpartum psychosis actually looks like.

This week, we’re getting into the Lindsay Clancy trial and the difficult conversations surrounding postpartum depression, women’s rights, and the way women’s mental health is understood and treated. Then, we’re lightening things up with some truly unhinged Botox horror stories, including Hannah Berner’s latest tales from the world of injectables. It’s a mix of heavy conversations, women’s healthcare, pop culture, and the beauty decisions that can go very, very wrong!

Are the Jonas Brothers broke? Who do they owe money to that they have to keep going on tour?! This week, we’re deep in our nostalgia era. We’re talking Camp Rock, the Jonas Brothers, and the pop culture icons who somehow keep finding new ways to tour the same music we were obsessed with as teenagers. But seriously… who is after them? Plus, our ongoing campaign to get Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke back together because honestly, at this point, we’ve seen enough. Maybe they really are meant to be.

This week, we’re talking about Matty Healy and Gabbriette’s wedding, the current state of influencer weddings, and why these celebrations have become their own genre of entertainment. Then we’re getting into the latest Bama Rush discourse and taking a trip down memory lane with our own experiences in sororities and how much Greek life has changed since we were in college. Plus, we’re swapping horror stories from our summers at camp, because nothing says summer like a few childhood memories that still haunt you.

This week, we're diving into Ariana Grande's decision to take a step back and why the conversation surrounding it says so much about the impossible expectations placed on women in Hollywood. We unpack the rise of the "skinification" of celebrity culture, the pressure to constantly become smaller, prettier, and more polished, and how beauty standards continue to shift at women's expense. We also wrestle with a question that feels increasingly difficult to answer: when a public figure appears dangerously thin, is commenting on their body perpetuating the problem, or is staying silent just as harmful? It's a nuanced conversation about beauty, concern, and the impossible standards women are expected to navigate. Plus, we wrap things up with a quick recap of House of Stassi.

This week we're covering a little bit of everything. We kick things off with The Odyssey and why we're suddenly so invested, celebrate Emily's birthday with stories, reflections, and a few lessons from another trip around the sun, and dive into the frustrating reality of flaky friendships. From constantly canceled plans to knowing when it's time to stop chasing people who won't show up for you, we're unpacking the difference between grace and self-respect. We also have a plea for the internet's youngest users: school can't start soon enough. Whether it's summer chaos, social media discourse, or just too much free time online, we're discussing why everyone might benefit when the youths are back in the classroom. Grab your favorite drink and join us for another unfiltered catch-up.
