WHAT A WEEK! Zayn Malik has struck our beloved Yolanda Hadid and we are here to call him to the stand. But first, we chat Kagen turning 30 and Lauren's moment being a nightmare fiancé.

We are joined by Jena Kingsley, host of Dear Media's Social Studies podcast, to discuss the things people love but, frankly, we hate. This includes charcuterie boards, people who post on LinkedIn, the demand for tipping everywhere you go, grocery store check out donation requests, the big water bottle trend, and more. Join us for a full hour of toxic negativity and leave refreshed and renewed with the stunning knowledge that you are not the only person annoyed by virtually everything. Buckle in!

This week Chan and I get into a little postmortem about last week's controversial episode. We chat poor financial habits and the reasons why we blame our parents for our ineptitudes as grown adults. We get into the Gabby Petito murder and discuss the disturbing timeline of events that led to her remains being found in Yellowstone. Finally, we touch on the new LulaRich doc and discuss whether or not the state should be involved in protecting people from MLM schemes. Buckle in, bb's! Many thanks to this week's sponsors!

We are back with a full run down of Lauren's trip to Greece, from Mykonos to Paros, Antiparos, Milos, and finally Santorini. Lauren gives her most prescient travel tips for each location. Which was a hit and which you could skip, and what to budget for when hitting land of yachts and feta. Chanler regales us with a truly harrowing trip to the airport, getting her apartment in NYC, and recent quirky moments staying at Deb's. It's a classic catch up between sisters finished out with some top line commentary on Scott Disick's DM to Younes and his inevitable break up with Amelia. Buckle in! Learn more about your ad choices.

While Lauren is away on the high seas, Chanler invites her newest and hands down funniest friend Joe Peacock on the pod to do a complete critical analysis of Taylor Swift. Before we get into the woman of the hour (of a lifetime really) we discuss some iconic pop cultural moments from Joe's youth, e.g. Britney Spears Baby One More Time album release, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe's demise and why he none of his offspring follow him back on IG. We juxtapose the thirst of Ryan Phillipe with the wonderful subtlety of Brad Falchuck's social media ~ a Pop Apologist classic ~ . Then we get to the matter at hand and discuss our thoughts on her first self-titled album, Taylor Swift. Then we reflect on Joe Jonas's massive impact on Fearless and all the T-Swift former flames scorned and immortalized on Speak Now. *Swifties and stans, beware, we do not hold back. Please also note that we accept full responsibility for listening to the "stolen version" of some of these albums, it was a necessary evil for the production of this podcast. Screw Scooter Braun.

This week we dive into the disturbing, sick world of beauty standards on social. Why are celebs like Denise Richards posting photos of themselves that are as detached from reality as Chanler's spending habits? What impact are filters that distort and "enhance" having on young girls and women? What do we do when instagram makes us feel like total shit about our bodies, faces, and lives? What is the difference between plastic surgery and an edited photo if both aren't "real?" We have an honest conversation about the way instagram has changed our perception of ourselves, our experiences, and what we do to safeguard our mental health in this brave new IG era.

This week Chan and Lauren catch up from across the pond. First, the gals dig into Denise Richard's most recent IG post and ask one burning question: wtf is happening on IG these days? Then, they regale each other with transatlantic tales from the weekend and discuss the disturbing news about Afghanistan. (Move over, Christiane Amanpour!) Finally, they embark on NYT's 36 questions that lead to love. Do they want to be famous? Would they rather have the body or mind of a 30 yr old forever? You know their answers already, but listen along as the Pop Apologists confirm their reputations as thirsty, shallow bitches. Buckle in, bb's. Many thanks to this week's sponsors!

Lauren speaks to us across the airwaves from Portugal. Listen along as she gives us all the details on her business class transatlantic flight in true nouveau riche, basic b fashion. Chanler discusses her upcoming plans for her birthday and strategies for avoiding a meltdown. Finally, we intro a new segment, "What Lauren's Reading." This week, Lauren's tome of choice is "T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us" by Carole Hooven. The book seeks to illustrate how the hormone to testosterone can explain the documented, cross-cultural differences between men and women. We start at the beginning, though, and chat about how ancient practices of castration were the first indicators of a powerful substance in a man's nether regions ultimately leading to the discovery of Testosterone.

This week we get into a spirited debate over a nagging question Lauren can't get off her mind: how does wealth flow from ultra rich celebs to their normal, civilian family members? Does Taylor Swift party on yachts with the Hadid sisters while her brother grinds away from 9-5 at Allstate Insurance? How is the playing field artificially leveled to avoid vast chasms of resentment on both sides?! We get into a heated conversation about this and then turn to an even hotter topic: J-Lo's and Ben Affleck's nostalgia tour of Europe with PDA-packed throwback pics. Finally, Chanler gives a stunning recap of @houseinhabit on IG's deep dive on JFK Jr., and Lauren issues her thoughts on the news that Prince Harry is writing a memoir.

David Yontef, BFF of our most beloved housewives and host of the super successful podcast Behind the Velvet Rope, joins to give us all the insider Bravo tea. We explore some of the great questions of our time, like did Heather Dubrow get Braunwyn fired from RHOC? Where does the Dubrow fortune come from? How does one become friends with reality stars and perhaps even A-listers? Did Braunwyn fake her alcoholism for the show? Was Kelly Dodd fired bc of her politics or did Heather Dubrow get her ousted from our screens? We may be left with more questions than answers, but the investigative journey is in itself one toward enlightenment. Finally, David regales us with his conspiracy theory on Erika Jayne's divorce and the dark secret pact he imagines Tom made with Erika pre-divorce. David is the real deal of podcasters; he has interviewed all the housewives and is besties with many of them, and holds back no secrets. Check out his pod, Behind the Velvet Rope, to get all the hottest celeb and Bravo interviews, out five days a week! Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this ep!
