Summary

Honestly you guys, we spend a good portion of the episode fangirling over Ethel Cain, but that’s not all. We dive into Taylor’s current album rollout (are we ruining the joy of music by trying to crack every code?), the limits of stan culture (we’ve GOT to cool it), and the unfolding Lana Del Rey vs. Ethel Cain discourse (a.k.a. the Kendrick vs. Drake drama for sad girls). We wrap things up with a full recap of the Ethel Cain concert, and spoiler alert, it was nothing short of transformative.

My name is Claire Donald. And my name is Tess Falamo. Hello, Grammys, happy Friday.

1:25.5

Oh, it's a day before, yeah, because we're actually releasing this tomorrow. It's a day before Claire's birthday. It truly is. Birthday Eve. Virgo season is upon us. How has the birthday week felt? It's been pretty good. Like, we got to record with a dream guest yesterday. We got to go see one of my favorite artists of all time. And so it's like, honest, things are looking pretty bright. Things are looking bright. Yeah, we've had like, we've had a really exciting week. We were just saying before we recorded, like, the adrenaline has been adrenaline. The adrenaline has been adrenaline. She's been working double time. There's a lot going on, you guys, which like part of the stuff that is going on, we will be talking about in today's episode. As you guys, we cover pop culture stories and we cover Bravo. But you guys, everything on Bravo is moving to Thursdays. And unfortunately, we cannot recap any housewives at the moment. Feels like they're trying to attack us. Like it feels personal. No, I think that they're trolling us in a really major way. Yeah. So we've been recapping Miami if you've been with us. Like, it feels personal. No, I think that they're trolling us in a really major way.

2:18.3

Yeah. So we've been recapping Miami if you've been with us. So we're going to take a little pause on that because of the scedge. But you know what I was thinking, too? A lot of things are coming up that we could talk about. Don't get mad at us, guys, but Megan Markle's show drops, I think on next Tuesday.

2:33.6

That's right.

2:34.2

No, literally, I sent test the trailer.

2:36.1

I was like, we are so back.

2:37.5

We're back, baby. Can't wait for season two. Well, I know. What has she got up her sleep? Well, I actually never watched the Harry episode. He comes in for like literally 20 seconds. He's like, proud of you, babe. She's like, thank you, H. H kills me every time you guys know this. You guys know this.

2:53.1

So yeah, we have, we have Megan, with love Megan coming up. We have the Amanda Knox show on Hulu, which I think is very ram-coded. Well, it is ram-coded. Well, of course it's ram-coded. Do you guys know that we have an Amanda Knox episode, by the way? I feel like that one's like kind of hidden. It's kind of hidden. Yeah, it was like maybe our

3:09.2

in like our first year-ish. I was always fascinated at the story. Maybe I would do it differently now.

3:15.3

I always had a vendetta against her. I'm just going to say it. I think that's fine. I never liked her.

3:21.4

I'm not saying that she deserved what she went through, but I have my opinions.

3:29.2

Well, I just didn't know anything about the Amanda Knox case. So that was why it was so fun,

3:34.9

like really uncovering it in real time with you was amazing. Yeah, part of it is like a personal problem because she reminds me of someone in my childhood that I really can't stand. So it's kind of like

3:39.8

a, you know, it's my own thing.

3:41.9

But we can recap that. We can recap Salt Lake City starting. Beverly Hills will start. Like, there's so much, you guys. Like, there's so much. Yeah.
