Up to Speed

The girls are SO back for 2026.

New year, same chaos and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way.

Taylor and Nicki kick things off by questioning whether New Year's resolutions are actually helpful… or just setting us up to fail. From there, it's full speed into everything 2026 already has cooking — including our favorite pop culture / sports couple cross over?? All the massive sporting events this year, wild college football upsets, and why the Jake Paul fight somehow became one of Netflix's biggest moments.

We also get into high-profile legal drama, pour one out for the end of an era with Sprinkles Cupcakes, and break down some of the most unhinged (and amazing) Christmas gifts NFL players gave their teammates.

To close it out, we're talking fast celebrity relationships, pop-culture chaos, and a few genuinely heartwarming stories in our Two Minutes of Fame segment.

It's funny, a little messy, surprisingly wholesome — and proof the girls didn't miss a beat in 2026.

This week's episode is all over the place and the girlies wouldn't have it any other way.

We're breaking down the who what and where of JoJo Siwa's cruise, unpacking the tragic and heartbreaking loss of Rob and Michelle Reiner, and the new information on the Idaho Four case.

On the sports side, we get into the NBA Cup Finals, the Michigan Football scandal (are we even shocked) plus the blockbuster Minnesota Wild trade that sent shockwaves through the NHL.

And because no week is complete without a little celebrity mess, we're also talking the Billy Ray Cyrus lawsuit, the drama behind it, and why it somehow feels very on-brand for 2025.

From sports scandals to pop culture curveballs — we cover it all.

This week's episode covers a lot — from holiday vibes to full-on sports chaos.

We kick things off with what we're watching right now and a deep dive into our favorite Christmas movies (and yes, the classics get debated).

Then we jump into tech, breaking down the new Snapchat AI setting, why everyone suddenly seems to be livestreaming their entire lives, and what all of this means for creators, privacy, and the future of social media.

From there, it's onto the sports world, which is somehow even crazier: • NBA Cup Quarterfinals begin — who's left, who's hot, who's on upset alert • UFC's end-of-year madness and why so many titles changed hands • College Football Playoff chaos and why fans are furious with the committee (again)

And to wrap things up, we talk Paige DeSorbo's new clothing line, how influencers keep reinventing the fashion model. AI, livestream culture, hoops, fights, football, fashion, and Christmas movies. It's December energy in one episode — messy in the best way.

Tune in.

We kick things off with the breaking updates around Kris Boyd's shocking shooting incident, then dive into Jake Paul's upcoming fight and the circus that always seems to follow him.

On the lighter (and messier) side, "Selling Sunset" is back in full-tilt drama mode, Chappell Roan had a paparazzi standdown that the internet cannot stop talking about, and there's officially no more making of pennies - yep, that's a real headline.
