We're Still Spinning

(REPOST FROM YESTERDAY) - We drank a bottle of Veuve and smoked California weed before recording this gem of an episode. We are two, long-time, PR professionals...who scroll through the news feed and current headlines to dissect media agendas, project outcomes and pitch mini PR plans in real-time. This week, we discuss Power Women and bounce between their recent newsbreaks. This leads us to question the appeal of accents, and the current cultural uprise of Paris, France. Lastly, we have a message for Dairy Queen. (And there might be some thoughts on tonight's Presidential Debate...).

JLo, we can't quit you. We do a quick hit on how Ben and Jen will roll out their seemingly imminent divorce announcement, then pitch J-Timberlake thoughts on how to publicly address his recent arrest. It involves a dick. And a box. While in the Empire State, we move from the Hamptons to Long Island and look at the recent lawsuit filed against Cold Stone Creamery for...lack of pistachios in their pistachio ice cream. Speaking of people that should make their own ice cream, we talk about the Tradwife movement and the recent claims against Nara Smith. Lastly, is Michael Jackson's music having a sharp uptick? We think so, and we pontificate as to why...and pitch a Hollywood Studio on how to capitalize.

In this episode, we revisit our theory about Hermes' fake law suit against itself to boost sales. Our case is strengthening, y'all...we then discuss today's launch of Fenty Hair. Is Rihanna's relationship with her fans becoming too one-sided? Is Fenty Hair in too close of proximity to Beyonce and Tina's Cécred? Is there room for both? With fans buy either? We then carefully discuss the news leak about Shiloh Jolie dropping "Pitt," - and we do a PR rewind to discuss the PR around Brad's split with Jennifer and the ramifications of his life with Angelina.

In this episode, we address the latest press cycle around Caitlin Clark, and the Venn diagram of racism, sexism and sports. Should the WNBA interject? We swiftly move to recent headlines surrounding Hunter Biden's trial. What is the real agenda? And does the GOP only care about gun control issues when it's about President Joe Biden's son? Lastly, we find a way to connect the WNBA with our Presidential election and if votes even matter at this point.

In this week's episode, we discuss the Trump verdict and its influence on the future of the United States of America. Does this outcome change anything? Does ANYTHING change anything? We look at some PR ideas on how to recharge tolerance and unity in the USA. Our conversation then sails to Cannes, France, to look at the news coming out of the recent Film Festival, specifically Kelly Rowland's experience with an on-site security guard and the implications of harmful headlines. Lastly, AMC's CEO recently disclosed that the movie exhibitor nearly botched their deal with Beyonce's Reinassance film. Unsure of why AMC would publicly admit this, we look at the PR decisions that were made.

In this episode, we very quickly touch on JLo's pursuit of a Crisis PR team and Diddy's recent apology video, offering each of them free PR plans. Then, we kick-off the main event of our show with a recap of Harrison Butker's college commencement speech and Red Lobster's recent bankruptcy filings (and offer Red Lobster a brilliant PR plan to keep their brand equity alive). Lastly, Nestlé just announced the launch of "Vital Pursuit" - a new line of frozen meals that are made for folks taking a GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc). #healthychoices

In this episode, we talk about the recent, very short-lived ads by Bumble that attempt to make women ditch celibacy for the dating app. This brings us to "What makes something funny in 2024?" and how the Tom Brady Roast defied the laws of humor in today's culture. Although Ben Affleck was looking toasted at the roast. We look at his brand in relation to JLo and her PR choices. And they are choices. Lastly, we discuss the news today from across the pond. McDonald's in the UK announced the removal of the "smile" on their Happy Meal boxes. Will their reason have you frowning?

In this episode, we look at Sports Illustrated's recent PR decision to feature Gayle King on its coveted swimsuit issue cover, which takes us to the influence of Oprah Winfrey and her recent comments about using Ozempic. Why would anyone lie about taking it at this point? Speaking of smoke and mirrors, we discuss the recent headlines about Meghan and Harry defaulting on their bills and we propose a path forward for their brand.

In this episode, we quickly touch on the introduction of the Tesla Cyber Truck and if it unlocks and starts its engine with a keyless micropenis. Then we cruise to the Met Gala and propose a PR revamp with a new visionary (hint: Anna Wintour has already done has herses...). Next, we talk about the Boy Scouts of America's recent rebrand to "Scouting America" and the latest ad from Apple for its new, ultra-thin, super unnecessary iPad. Lastly, MacKenzie Scott - please call us. Only you can save journalism.

In this episode, we take a look at the PR rollout of Cowboy Carter and unpack the album's cultural impact and social message. This is NOT an album review. It is a look at the business decisions and recent genre pivot of Beyonce. We land on an unexpected connection between Cowboy Carter and the current board seat proxy fight taking place at The Walt Disney Company and we propose a PR play to Mr. Bob Iger.
