MONDAY ANALYSIS: 

Writer Lindy West has let us into the world of her modern marriage. It made us wonder…do we all know far too much about each other’s relationships? And knowing how cruel the internet can be, why do so many writers continue to mine their personal lives for their work?

A dry cleaning AYINOSI! And then, you’ve probably seen the video of McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski trying their new burger – it was cringe, to say the least, because, well…. he didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about eating it. So, we asked you guys to tell us the cringiest thing your boss has done, and to send over any juicy boss dilemmas you wanted us to (try) solve. Plus!!!! More secret sounds of Shameless Media.

This week, Mich recommended grabbing Shower Story shower steamers from their website. Zara recommended this episode of Gamechangers Radio that explains the whole Kyle and Jackie O fiasco, and!

MONDAY ANALYSIS:

After the tragic deaths of actors Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, GoFundMe pages were established to ‘support the families,’ and the donations started rolling in. It begs the question: is it okay for celebrities – or families of celebrities – to ask for charity? Is this a case of asking the poor to donate to the rich? And…have we entered an era where being famous no longer equals being rich?

Are you in need of some intrigue? And then, a big ol’ deep dive into Labradoodles because everyone on the internet is shading them atm – even the creator of the Labradoodle himself. Oh, and to conclude this episode, we are being put to the test: Belly has recorded some of the Shameless Media team’s car indicators, and we are going to guess whose sound belongs to which person. It’s a TikTok trend, apparently!

This week, Zara recommended watching Love Story on Disney Plus, and in tandem with that, recommended reading ‘The Theft of Story… and its Inevitability’ from Carole Radziwill’s substack. Mich recommended Hilary Duff’s interview on Call Her Daddy.
