Apparently, 2026 is the new 2016. After a year of AI slop, skeletal Ozempic bodies, uncanny facelifts, and a general sense that nothing feels real anymore, it feels right to revisit the last moment of peak millennial optimism.
Back then, you walked into a house party with a White Claw, lace-up crop top, choker necklace, no upper lip, the Snapchat dog filter locked and loaded, and the entire world ahead of you. We talk 2016 nostalgia stories, the birth of Instagram face, and how Insta-baddie culture made everyone hotter, identical, and somehow more boring, and whether that whole aesthetic might finally be on its way out.
Then it’s life updates. Getting drunk off mocktails. Cosplaying as an Italian grandmother because I can’t stop making pasta. Co-sleeping with our bulldog. A golf swing update. Living among mice. The Seahawks crushing the 49ers this playoff season. Side-eyeing neighbors who built a brand-new house and still refuse to mow their lawn.
In the news, we get into celebrity mom group drama involving Hilary Duff and Ashley Tisdale, the Pennsylvania man arrested after authorities discovered hundreds of human skulls in his home, Alex Honnold free-soloing Taipei 101, Saks Fifth Avenue filing for bankruptcy, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ upside-down food pyramid reboot, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, Harry Styles’ new album (Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally), Golden Globes podcast snubs, and male celebrity aging theories.
The episode closes with a blunt discussion about protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis, where things have gone too far, why defending criminal behavior isn’t compassion, and why enforcement is never going to look gentle, even when it’s uncomfortable to watch.
Unscripted, opinionated, and very online.
