This week on Yap Trap, we’re spiralling through bridesmaid chaos, corporate karma, and pop culture absurdity.

I’m breaking down a collection of unhinged internet stories — from a maid of honour stepping down after a 47-item bridesmaid demand list, to someone telling their friend’s girlfriend she’s “not hot enough” to act the way she does (yep, it’s as messy as it sounds). Plus: an ethical sunscreen dilemma, petty workplace revenge, and whether it’s ever okay to say no to a bachelorette trip in Vegas.

On the pop culture side of things, I debrief The Materialists (what was that movie?), and a Vampire Diaries cast reunion at a real-life wedding. Oh — and I’m going on a cruise. Balance!

📝 In this episode:

👰🏼‍♀️ Wedding burnout and friendship breakups

🚩 AITA debates: sunscreen, backne and social anxiety

📊 Corporate petty revenge that served

⭐️ Pop culture spirals: Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion, The Materialists: a rom-com confusion and Vampire Diaries weddings

🌵 Life updates: an update on the podcast, cactus a cruise and holiday excitement

🎧 If you’re into messy Reddit stories, unsolicited opinions, and pop culture rants from a chronically online corporate girl, this one’s for you.

This week on Yap Trap, we’re diving pom-poms first into America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders — the docuseries that’s part glitter, part emotional damage, and 100% bingeable. I break down the drama, delusion, and dance formations of Season 2, but not before setting the scene with a quick recap of Season 1: the show that made us fall in love with icons like Victoria, Reece, and Charly and kicked off a national conversation about pay, pressure, and performance.

In this deep dive, I unpack the power struggles, emotional meltdowns, leadership chaos, and behind-the-scenes tea you won’t see on game day. We’re talking toxic traditions, Botox sponsorships, girlbossing too close to the sun, and why Jada deserves to be protected at all costs.

✨ Also in this episode:

📣 DCC history and the evolution from Making the Team to Netflix

📣 My thoughts on Season 2's biggest turning points

📣 Social media backlash, team loyalty, and why the pay fight matters

📣 Reddit drama, hip dislocations, and performances that gave me chills

📣 The real MVPs of this season — and the women we won’t forget

📚 Plus, unsolicited recs as always:

Download the Fable app and read The Maid by Nita Prose — it’s giving cosy mystery meets emotional depth

Try my new comfort snack: the mini cob-loaf recipe that changed my weekend plans forever

We're halfway through 2025 (how?) and it's time for a chaotic little check-in. In this week’s episode of Yap Trap, I spiral about my goals, rave about rom-com royalty (27 Dresses, obviously), and serve my unfiltered thoughts on weddings, emotional labour, and why James Marsden deserved better costuming.

✨ In this episode:

⭐️ Mid-year reset: how my 2025 goals are actually going

❄️ Why Australian winters are rude and I’m wearing a coat indoors

🎶 Sabrina Carpenter’s new album: are we over-discussing pop drops?

💃🏻 A full 27 Dresses breakdown: plot, characters, iconic scenes and everything in between

😴 r/AmITheAsshole: boundaries, step-siblings, and teen girl sleepover chaos

In the very first episode of Yap Trap, I—Jordan, gossip queen, hype girl, and woman on the verge—dive headfirst into a chaotic cocktail of books, bridal stress, and pop culture obsessions.

This week’s yap includes:
📚 A round-up of my only 5-star reads of 2025 so far (including Binding 13 and Sunrise on the Reaping)
👰‍♀️ A wedding planning meltdown involving my growing vendetta against the wedding tax
❄️ A full breakdown of dressing for a Y2K-themed hens party in near-Arctic conditions
🎤 Pop culture chatter: Sabrina Carpenter supremacy, the America’s Sweethearts docuseries, and Swiftie takes that might divide the room
💌 Plus, a juicy Reddit drama about a wedding dress mix-up that gets real petty, real fast

Expect hot takes, weirdly specific complaints, romance recs, deeply personal overshares, and the kind of tangents you didn’t know you needed.

Subscribe now, listen in, and get ready to yap back.
