Summary

Jodi is joined this week by elite yapper Alexis Wilson to explore three cultural crash outs. They start with the yearlong crash out of People’s Sexiest Man Alive award, which is currently not beating the PR stunt/paid-for-by allegations after John Krasinski was chosen (3:10). Then they go super deep on Molly Rutter’s pivot from DateTok cringe poster to political correspondent, which shockingly hasn’t been going so well (23:00). Finally, they talk about the thin line between girl bossing and becoming a cult leader in ‘Breath of Fire,’ HBO’s docuseries about kundalini yoga (1:02:10), before each sharing their personal obsession for the week (1:09:20).
