I’m recapping the most important parts of Alix Earle’s “Earle Meets World” Netflix reality show, and sorry but I did like it overall! I break down the Earle family lore and how an FBI investigated prostitution ring that led to the resignation of the NY governor is the foundation of the blended family that the show is centered on. I go through the biggest plot points, the drama, and my take on why Alix's career is headed for trouble as long as her dad is the one managing it.Topics include:Earle family history with prostitution scandal Alix’s dad being her managerStepmom dynamicsAshtin not having purpose or passionAlix firing her friend Sally CardenAlix breakup with Braxton Berrios Massive fights between Ashtin and AlixAlex Cooper Call Her Daddy fall out
Stella Lefkofsky is the nepo baby of the moment and she is not helping her own case. Daughter of tech billionaire Eric Lefkofsky, she dropped her first album, and is now catching a bunch of flak for being a billionaire and still ripping off Noah Kahan.I get into who she actually is, how she blew up, and why this is a different animal than other industry plant allegations.I'm talking about Chanty Beluga and giving the backstory on her and why people are acting completely insane about it. Justice for Chanty!
I discovered Ari Ehrlich through his viral Substack about a friend trip to Nantucket that went completely sideways: the cold shoulder, no explanation, a girl world nightmare, and I had so many questions. We get into what it was actually like growing up with the children of Manhattan's elite, his other salacious Substack stories where he's reporting on who's banging who and how he's managed to keep his friends despite writing about all of their drama. Ari is one of the funniest and most astute observers of social dynamics I've talked to. Remember his name!
Syracuse professor and TV writer Taylor Vaughn Lasley joins the podcast to talk about the trial that’s sweeping the nation! Taylor has worked in Hollywood for years as a writer and now teaches screenwriting. She’s gone viral on TikTok by covering the trial and using her writer brain to poke holes in the case. Before we get into the case, we talk pop culture, her experience going to high school with the nepoiest of the nepos (Tom Hanks crashed her party?!), and what it’s like teaching college students in the age of AI (sigh).
Why is there so much shame around friend breakups? Is anyone else feeling insane? This week I'm getting into friend breakups and the four distinct flavors they come in:Will We Won't WeConscious UncouplingConfrontational Fall OutThe GhostI talk about my relationship to friendship as a whole and how it's shifted over the years. Where do friends fit into our lives? When is it worth it to confront someone? Do we need to just chill out and lower our standards?Plus the art of confrontation: when a situation calls for an in-person conversation versus when a text will actually do, and the pros and cons of both. If you've ever lost a friend and spent way too long trying to figure out what happened, this one's for you.
Fan favorite Genna Cifelli is back on Lit Hein to promote our upcoming show (tickets here)!!! Genna and I were frenemies in high school but we worked it out on the remix. In this episode, we get the exclusive of her experience being hit by a car in NYC: how it happened, what it felt like and what some of the benefits were. We talk about Ariana’s new album and her current public perception and why people aren’t happy with her. Even though she’s literally never done anything wrong. And lastly, we talk about our favorite scandals from our crazy liberal arts private school in Atlanta. Sorry bout it!!
*Content warning: this episode discusses sensitive material including sexual assault, death threats and mental health grapplings. A year after a breakdown following the public resurfacing of a painful chapter, Jess Elgene is on the pod telling her side of the story, from start to finish.In 2014, a former romantic partner accused Jess of sexual assault while they were both students in college. Jess maintained her innocence, and was found unanimously not in violation by their university. Last year, the allegation resurfaced on social media, resulting in backlash beyond the online death threats and hate comments. Jess was kicked off of two comedy teams and pulled from various show lineups. Though she received plenty of support in private, only a few of her peers shared their support publicly. Now, nearly a year later, Jess reflects on her public mental breakdown, what actually happened in college and rebuilding her relationship with her comedy peers, her career and herself.Follow Jess ElgeneWatch Jess’s special
In late 2023, Hope Woodard declared to her followers she was going Boysober — no dating, no sex — in effort to break a generational pattern of male-centerenedess. What was intended to be a personal mission to stop being a “generational slut” (her words, not mine!), the internet latched onto the term and Hope accidentally became the face of Gen Z celibacy. Her internet fame took off and had her replacing male validation with internet validation. In the years following, Hope reckoned with being the face of a movement she didn’t identify with, was canceled twice, was ran off the internet, and dabbled in unconventional methods to make ends meet.Hope is now telling her story about the “beautiful disaster” that was Boysober and where she stands today with her relationship to men.
