Do You Know What I Mean? (When I Say That)

It's 9 o'clock on a f***ing Tuesday, get your ass up, we're listening to DYKWIM. Let's go!  Jon is back from Europe and Kellie is back from... Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This week the two catch up after Jon's trip to Barcelona, Sicily and Ibiza (ok, Zara Larsson Eurosummer) where he met Calvin Harris (basically) and was officially made the mayor of gratitude city....

Welcome back to pop culture and WOW is it good to be back. Today we're doing what we do best: having strong opinions about people we've never met. Kellie and Jon get into the official ranking system of fame - who's actually an A-lister, who's a B, who's a C, and where on earth does Zoë Kravitz land? Then it's on to the Emmys, a Big Brother check-in, and thoughts on th...

This week, we're covering everything that's been living rent-free in our brains lately. Jon tells the story of a haunted experience involving Kellie's dog, JoJo, we celebrate The Odyssey (what a triumph!), and catch up on Kellie's latest Obsession. Then we're diving into Ariana Grande's new album, Bella Kay's rise to internet fame, Suki Waterhouse and Ethel Cain,...

EPISODE 10! WELCOME! This week, Jon returns from Ireland emotionally attached to approximately half the country, Kellie starts dance classes (OK picking back up childhood hobbies!), and we discuss two of summer's greatest enemies: getting sick when the weather is finally nice and discovering that sunburns somehow get worse every hour. Then we stumble into two conversations that are lowk the t...

First things first: Jon’s new personality (his mustache) is here to stay (thank god).  After we settle that debate - and introduce our new Irish lingo into the chat - we discuss the art that is Mean Girl Music. Our toss in the ring for a new Grammy category. Picture this: the anthem/soundtrack of any mean girl clique in any movie ever…we hear you Charli XCX, Addison Rae.  We then dive head first i...

Welcome to our full pop culture buffet. First course, per usual, is LOVE ISLAND USA. Full review, pre-finale thoughts, our favorite and least favorite contestants. And FYI: we agree to disagree on our thoughts, which is something special 🫶 We pivot to the Emmys, where we (Jon) lovingly rage(s) about the same five shows getting nominated in the same twenty categories every single year (looking at...

First things first, we want to give the warmest welcome to our cohost of this episode: Pink Mini Hat. Our sassy, MOUTHY bestie! Ok, so the US might've lost the World Cup, but our fleeting patriotism lives on in watching visitors from other countries experience Americana for the first time: we're talking Buc-ee's, Big Gulps, portions that require a to-go box on arrival." It&apos...

TONIGHT ON...the pod. It's time we speak on our Love Island thoughts (US AND UK) and things get...heated. We then quickly (after 10 whole minutes) pivot to our Las Culturistas Culture Awards recap, Kellie's backstage affair with Will Ferrell (have some freaking class, Kellie), and discuss which current Hollywood relationships are PR or not PR. (Like: Benson Boone and Alix Earle, we have...

Say it with us: optimization culture is ruining fun! In a very juicy episode 7, we bounce from chaotic personal updates to bigger “how do we actually enjoy life?” questions. We kick things off with the 75 chud challenge then spiral into how optimization culture can suck the fun out of everything - bring back wicked hangovers in 2026! Well, maybe not, but you get our point! From there, it’s recap s...

This Pop Culture episode is a rapid-fire grab bag of reviews, hot takes, and a little chaos PLUS with a special guest appearance from Jon’s mom. We start with quick movie check-ins (from your local AMC A-Listers including Sheep Detective , Obsession , and Backrooms ), then straight into Gen Z director discourse and Kellie's stunning recap of her attendance at the Las Culturistas Culture Award...

First of all, a belated congrats to the happy couple: Martin Short and Meryl Streep. May your dramatics and theatrics complement one another for the rest of time! We're back with another pop culture mini episode...and we're feeling free to roam about the cabin 🫡 We gossip about busting THE Mythbusters themselves, the fear of catching fire at the gas station, and call on anyone and every...

*inhale, exhale*  Welcome to a wonderfully frazzled Episode 6, dear Dykwimpers! In this episode, Jon gets a little Nicholas Sparks with it and brings beautiful sap, sentiment and a whole thesis to the table (classic “The Man Who Has It All”). We chat about the phenomenon of the last time being the last time, and the temporary versions of ourselves - whom we all need to be nicer to and give grace t...

WHEW, welcome to Ep 5! This episode has everything: apocalypse prep, hantavirus paranoia, wedding narcissism, chic shots, pinot grigio propaganda, influencer discourse, and kissing your bffs ( sometimes ). We're pouring over the architecture of what makes for a perfect bar while also trying to determine what DJs actually do besides point at things dramatically?? DJ dykwimpers, we need to hear...

Welcome to our first official pop culture mini episode! We’re trying something new!! This week we discuss Rihanna album rumors, the Met Gala, and why men need to be banned from wearing plain black tuxes to fashion events immediately. We also report live from District 12, unpack Billie Eilish needing to maybe read the room ( still love her to death! ), revisit The Devil Wears Prada as the cultural...

It's cringey, its second hand embarrassment, it's...the inability to read the room; the age old skill that nobody truly teaches you but everyone should judge you on. From inappropriate workplace wear (looking at you backwards hats), to trapping group in stories that should’ve ended well over 30 minutes ago, we’re diving into the subtle art of social awareness. And if you think you'r...

This week on Episode 3 of DYKWIM, we are officially declaring a national holiday: the day of our long-awaited graduation from being permanently assigned to the paper plate zone at family gatherings… and into the wild world of being treated like a full-grown adults. We're debating when (if ever) this actually happens, and whether it always comes with Caribbean-style perks or just worse hangove...

It’s feeling rather & extra wonderful to be back. So go ahead, inhale, close your eyes (unless you’re driving), and exhale. Episode 2 is here, and we’re taking you on a JOURNEY: one of personal growth, hot takes, and a healthy dose of completely unfactual evidence. This week, we’re accelerating into the art (and chaos) of picking a side because neutrality is overrated and some of us simply ref...

Season 3. New era. Same ability to have an 19 minute conversation before introducing ourselves.  After a brief hiatus (read as: dual entanglement with seasonal depression), DYKWIM is so back, and somehow we're returning both wiser and exactly the same. This week, we're diving into usage of the phrase 'it's not their first time on Earth' - and how to use it as a dig (if app...

What happens in Vegas... gets recapped in full detail on the pod, of course. This week, we're returning from our chaotic desert adventure so that we can share all of our Sin City adventures - the jaw-dropping shows to nightclubs we definitely had no business being in. We're talking full-blown sensory overload + rapid fire convos about championing your friends, preparing for conversations...

First of all, we're going to HAVE to do something about that mouth... It's Episode 16, baby so let's freaking act like it!! This week, we're talking about the cathartic feeling of a (successful) little lie...because sometimes just saying "no" to get out of plans isn't going to cut it. We also dive head first into the glitz and glam that is a novel grocery store,...

Is there anything more romantic in modern life than pulling up to Departures, popping the trunk, and saying a rushed-but-emotional goodbye while a line of cars honks behind you? We MIGHT be getting a little teary-eyed this week (as we usually do), but this time, we're doing it curbside! Join us for a monumental and extremely freaky Episode 15! It’s one about liminal spaces, leaning into your...

Welcome back, d*ck wimpers! This week, class is in session as we're building our personal curriculums — aka the niche, self-made syllabi that fuel our brains and answer any/all of life's burning questions. Because didn’t you hear: learning is SO in (from Film 101 to Soup Studies). We also get into the complete and utter euphoria that is becoming unreasonably obsessed with something (up t...

Welcome to lucky Episode 13! This week, we’re talking about booking the trip, comfort shows, and regulating emotions. We get into why life’s too short to let the trip stay trapped in the group chat, how Selling Sunset and Sex In the City somehow both qualify as comfort TV in totally different ways, and why it actually feels kind of chic to pause, analyze your emotions, and then decide how you want...

OH this episode? Yeah, it has it all: post-festival emotional damage (the good-ish kind), a cheers to an almost-married couple, and confessions of a 3am FaceTime. In our new rapid-fire era, we discuss the bravery of wearing That Outfit™ (you know the f**king one), campaign for teenyboppers to get their Emmy moment (justice for The Summer I Turned Pretty ), and positively spiral over Ben Platt&apos...

Welcome to a new era of the pod! We’re switching things up and going rapid-fire: one host brings three bite-sized topics to the table, and the other reacts in real time. And trust us when we say... no rock goes unturned in today's ep (and I really do mean that).  We're talking about the intersection between late-stage bedwetting and over-orchestrated sleepover avoidance. We're talki...
