This week we offer financial advice...as two women who just asked their listeners for money, promptly followed up with a passionate ode to our new fav purchase that we can't shut up about. Chanler then issues a stern rebuke against Dominic West and Lily James, while Lauren laments the sad reality exposed by the lovebirds: no one looks as great as they thought they would in a Reformation dress. We then go on an emotionally charged journey where we examine why a certain influencer's oatmeal triggered Lauren so deeply and why depictions of hyper-thin celebrities and film characters (like Emily in Paris) eating with abandon is unrealistic/damaging/a mindf*ck for young girls. Finally, we discuss some of our fav influencers to follow that champion body positivity, share a stunning fake ad, and end with a gentle plea on bended knee from Lauren that national holidays on instagram be henceforth prohibited by law.
