Summary

It’s been a cursed and chaotic week! Jodi and Nora first gag over Jodi’s surprise visit to Washington, D.C., to crash Nora’s book signing (1:00) and talk about the cursed weather they experienced there, which has been described with the catchy term “wet bulb” (10:17). Then, as a palate cleanser, they gush over some earnest culture from this week, including the ever-entertaining 2025 Jimmy Awards (19:07) and Pedro Pascal’s adorable and heart-melting Vanity Fair cover story (27:17). Finally, they go through four very cursed cultural phenomena: Diet Coke as fridge cigarettes (42:17), Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s yacht foam party (55:04), Aaron Rodgers’s new wife who still hasn’t been seen in public (1:00:00), and Labubus (1:07:54). Last, but certainly not least, Nora and Jodi are back with some personal obsessions this week (1:18:52). Email us with your latest obsessions at [email protected]!
