Summary

We step tentatively into the discourse around Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s new single, “WAP”—including the petition to remove Kylie Jenner from the video and the conservative backlash to the song (1:20). In Not Worth the Tea, Jason Derulo forces ‘Cats’ back into our lives and we start a throuple watch for Cara Delevingne, Margaret Qualley, and Kaia Gerber (9:36) before transitioning to Cringe Mode: ‘Safe Haven’ (19:00). Finally, we try to make any sense at all of Jessica Alba putting hummus on her dresses and Orlando Bloom chanting in the dark for an hour each morning when he wakes up (41:50). Hosts: Liz Kelly, Kate Halliwell, and Amelia Wedemeyer Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
