A Dua Lipa & Olivia Rodrigo Grab Bag

tbh i just loved that olivia couldn't drive cuz same

no hate to you! but it hasn't even been out for two years yet 😭😭😭 i'm CRYING at the seriousness of the "when i was in high school" of it all 💀

sg

DO A ONE DIRECTION EPISODE OJJJHHHH MY GOD PLS (unless they already did someone show me )

Buttcheek

Also super sad to learn that Olivia has already been passed around Hollywood and the music industry

Gabriella

Zillenial here, Olivia may have been backed by Disney but drivers license genuinely blew up on TikTok and there hasn’t been a pop punk album in a long time that elicits the heavy emotions of being a teenage girl/teenager

Gabriella

I can’t hear his name without picturing him getting carried by his body guards so he doesn’t get dirty 😂

I also think she might be like (pardon the tired ass comparison) a Taylor S. kind of artist where she has fans but it might be a slow burn in getting people to see how talented she is. Some pop girls are universally loved and seen right out of the gate (Billie), and others pop off and non fans “don’t get it” Until a few albums later. Her target audience gets it and that’s what matters

ughhh as if

The embarrassment I felt for Courtney Love when she confidently accused a teenager of ripping off an album cover that came out before she was born 🫣

Y’all really showed your age with this one bc sour was no skip masterpiece when I was in highschool. But it’s ok Bc I love y’all

Olivia rodrigo is really only for gen z…so is dua lipa…I don’t think she’s recycled but her album release was really big mainly beacuse every song she on her album was lovvvved!! Like ppl were listening to albums again and I loved it honestly. Millennials see Olivia as recycled but honestly she kinda of set a new lane and ppl stated copying her

Please do david dobrik

JONATHAN TAYLOR THOMAS episode pleaseeeee 🙏🏼

We, as a nation, need to be dunking on Jack “industry bland-t” Harlow way harder. Honestly!

Longtime lover of the pod with a suggestion: An Underrated Grab Bag! Featuring celebs that in your opinion should be bigger and/or are mega talented but maybe the blinds reveal why their careers may have faltered or didn’t take off Side note: I personally find Jessie J very talented and I’m confused as to why she isn’t bigger! It makes me think that maybe something has gone on behind the scenes?

I def think we need a YouTube grab bag. Give us dobrik and his squad. Tana. Etc.

I was in Oxford, MS for a wedding when Morgan Wallen had his concert. We could literally hear the concert in the church. The reception for the wedding was at the lyric which is a venue in the Square (which is the popular downtown area in Oxford restaurants, bars, boutiques etc.) There was a bar across from the reception venue (idk the name of it very popular though) but they had heavy security and someone at the reception said it was bc Morgan was there. So can confirm something went down in Oxford that night that was sus. Also it’s very very easy to get fucked up in the Square so I believe it.

TMZ UPDATE: Willam Bowery has been given writing credits on Sour.

I just listened to the billie part where u commented and elaborated more on this, thank you!

That Rihanna blind was classic enty phrasing. Her first album came out when she was 16, how long before that was she being abused?

You need to do an episode on rita ora and alexa chung

The way Troy describes Olivia Rodrigo is how I've always felt about Beyoncé 😬

The church Joshua basset is involved in is called Bethel Church. I’m super familiar with it from my Christian days and they’re wild. Look them up!!
