Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies. 

This week, the world feels heavy. Brooke opens the show by acknowledging the heartache coming out of Minneapolis and sets the stage for why, right now, we all need a brief, necessary escape. We’re taking a deep breath and diving into the distractions that are keeping us afloat.

In this episode:

• The Beckham Saga Continues: We are back on the Beckham beat. Brooke breaks down the incredible memes surrounding Victoria Beckham dancing at her son’s wedding. Is Posh Spice the relatable icon we didn’t know we needed?

• The Dr Pepper Miracle: We discuss the power of TikTok and the creator who created a viral jingle that became a national ad campaign. Proof that posting your drafts actually pays off.

• The Drama & The Random: A quick touch on the Blake Lively / Taylor Swift chatter, followed by a chaotic roundup of things living in Brooke’s brain: exploding trees, Mamdani, Heated Rivalry, and yes... Lego Crocs.

• Harry’s House in NYC: Harry Styles is doing 30 nights in New York City. We process the logistics, the stamina, and the absolute hysteria.

• A Final Word: Shame on you, Tim Cook. Just... shame.
