Lauren’s back in PR, Chan in NYC—pop apostles, assemble. We dig into Taylor Swift’s missing stalker and the ramped-up security optics; Gwyneth Paltrow’s NYFW “Gwyn” line (prices high, vibes frumpy); RHOSLC’s frost-bitten kickoff that still delivers memes; what the new Kanye documentary actually shows (and why it’s not redemptive); and the shocking D4VD/Celeste Rivas case. Includes ads & codes mentioned in-show. Content warnings: stalking, sexual violence, abuse, addiction, death.

| 0:00.0 | Well, well, well, everyone, we are back with another edition of Pop Apologists, Pop Apossils. |
| 0:13.1 | Where are you at today? Are you ready for another episode? |
| 0:17.7 | Are you talking to me? Are you talking to the listeners? Where are you at? |
| 0:22.3 | Where are we at? |
| 0:24.9 | I'm trying to, I don't know. |
| 0:29.0 | I'm trying to like have a persona, maybe be a little bit like daddy gang. |
| 0:30.1 | Where are you guys? |
| 0:32.9 | We never call our listeners by anything. We don't have like, I guess we have global elites, but we don't have a name for everyone. |
| 0:38.2 | And I do think we need to have a resurgence of pop apostles. Love it. Love it. Pop apostles, wherever you are today, |
| 0:44.9 | wherever you're listening, we hope you are doing well. Morin and I are back in, we're back |
| 0:51.6 | together, back in the saddle, actually not back together physically, but back together |
| 0:55.0 | recording after my week-long break while I was in Hawaii. I'm so happy to be here with you. |
| 1:02.9 | So excited. I mean, we're actually not together, though, sadly. I am back home in Puerto Rico, |
| 1:09.2 | Puerto Rico. And Chandler is in lovely New York. She's recording from the studio. |
| 1:15.8 | I'm not recording from bed because I'm just going to say that it was always an awkward, |
| 1:22.6 | weird setup. And so we're just going to hope the audio sounds good today from this location. |
| 1:27.6 | I thought you always look beautiful. Oh, it looked like somebody who was like chronically ill or |
| 1:34.1 | something. You only like record from bed. Like you were like an ailing 16th century child. |
| 1:40.8 | I can already hear like the Furious DM. Like I cannot believe you laughed when she referenced people with chronic illnesses. Okay, let me just rethink here. By chronic illness, I meant like the bubonic plague or something. I don't know. And you know, that might not even be chronic. That's just fatal. No, I definitely seemed like I was perpetually ailing. And someone did ask, they said, is everything okay with Lauren? Why is she recording from bed? You know, in full glam, but recording from bed. |
| 2:05.1 | There was one episode, she had time to always put on mascara and a lip and fully do her hair. |
| 2:13.1 | But she was still recording from bed. No, I, I, there's one moment where I did wear my skim's pajamas to record from. |
| 2:20.9 | I had a blue tank top on and then the blue boxer shorts. |
