Happy Ur Here

Casa Amor is here, islanders are moving at record speed, and people are sleeping together before ANY DATES. We talk Casa Amor predictions, where to start with Zach and Bryce, Kenzie's accent depending on who she's talking to, KC and Aniya's sisters fighting online, and Sol's exit/the role of a bombshell. Also: betting on Love Island, and a quick detour into Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette Seaso...

Also: Euphoria, Britney Spears, Druski at the BET Awards, which celebrities are actually running their brands, & Victoria's Secret said open casting call for everyone.

Ayanna and Ayanna’s Mom share overall thoughts on the latest season of Netflix’s Temptation Island: there was a lot more island than actual temptation. One of us watched the entire season, the other made it about 20 seconds in before deciding it’s way hyper sexualized. There’s questionable casting (all around) overconfidence, and people who shouldn’t be together at all.

Ayanna's Mom and Ayanna talk highlights from Bloomberg’s exposé on Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network, get into Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson, Coachella weekend two, and run through reality TV updates: including The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County… which, respectfully, the cast are neither Mormon nor wives sooooo

Ayanna & Ayanna’s Mom! Start with Coachella and end everywhere else. We break down the lineup that was way better than expected, the discourse around 💗Justin Bieber💗 his performance being called underwhelming, and that conversation might look very different if a female artist put on the same performance. We also get into Sabrina Carpenter’s performance (which Ayanna loved), and the ongoing conve...

We talk: Mom’s trip to the DR, Marlon Wayans’ comedy show, Real Housewives of Atlanta Kandi and Todd’s divorce, the new SpongeBob movie, Gunna’s 5K, and more pop culture.

Ayanna and Mom talk pop culture/reality TV! TW (trigger warning): Ayanna started Invisalign, and that's her personality now. Why the newest season of Abbott Elementary feels a bit stale, The Bravo Universe, and Law and Order reusing actors for different characters without explanation. Mariah The Scientist preggers? by 🤢 Young Thug, plus Timothée Chalamet and (King) Kylie Jenner are allegedly no l...

Sabrina Carpenter’s Halloween tour looks, our favorite costumes we saw this year (Mr. Brown and the Honey Bunches of Oats lady made the list), and is Steve Lacy is a one-hit wonder?

Our last recap cut off early 😔 we’re (Mom and Ayanna!) here to wrap up Big Brother 27 Week 7.

It's week 7 in the Big Brother House. Is anyone playing smart? Who's playing scared, and who poisoned their own game. Get comfy we (Ayanna and Mom) have nice long pod for you 🥰 #ButFirst our thoughts on pop culture: More Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce nonsense! The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Paper (tv show), but should we talk about Sabrina Carpenter? and more

It's Week 6 in the Big Brother House! Vince has aligned with so many people he can’t even remember who he’s working with, Rachel is running mind games left and right, and everyone seems to be making terrible moves. Paranoia is high, there's too many random alliances to count, then no one actually likes who they're aligned with (cough cough: Mickey/Morgan, Lauren/Kathrine).
