Matty D is closing out 2025 — and what a year it’s been!

On this final episode of 2025 of The Pop Corner with Matty Durkin , Matty is joined by his longtime friend, podcast host, and content creator Lauren Pevehouse (@AllegedlyBravo) for a lively, laugh-filled year-end catch-up covering holidays, work, life updates, and everything pop culture.

The duo dives into the hottest TV shows of 2025, from Heated Rivalry and All Her Fault to Kim Kardashian’s All’s Fair. And of course, they’re mentioning it all with the latest Bravo news and Real Housewives updates — from Teresa & Melissa, to Dr. Wendy’s legal issues, Jen Shah’s release from “Shah-prison,” and plenty more Bravo tea.

Matty and Lauren also break down their 2025 pop culture review, including Cowboy Carter winning Album of the Year, the rise of Addison Rae, Jonathan Bailey’s “slutty little glasses,” Dancing with the Stars, and honoring the public service of the ladies of Salt Lake City. They take a moment to honor the icons we lost in 2025, from Diane Keaton to Ozzy Osbourne, before wrapping things up with their bold predictions for 2026.

It’s the ultimate year-end pop culture recap, Bravo-filled and unfiltered — exactly the way The Pop Corner does it best.

See ya in 2026!!

Matty is back from a brief hiatus and couldn’t be more excited to welcome one of his childhood best friends to the podcast: up-and-coming country music artist Ben Durand (@ben_durand_music). In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Matty and Ben take a trip down memory lane, revisiting their early days performing together on stage — including the moment Ben was once told “not to sing” during his first production of Fiddler on the Roof (talk about a plot twist).

From defying the odds to make the Auburn University football team in his junior year, to teaching himself how to play guitar and chasing his dream of becoming a country singer-songwriter, Ben opens up about his creative journey. He shares how personal struggles shaped his music, the realities of the music industry grind, and what it really takes to stay motivated as an independent artist.

This episode is a powerful, funny, and inspiring catch-up between two small-town best friends — and a must-listen for fans of country music, storytelling, and chasing big dreams.
