Pop Culture Olympics: Going for Gold
In this episode, we’re handing out pop culture Olympic medals. Join us as we hand out medals in the events no one trained for, but everyone has opinions about. From overexposed icons to nepo babies who are outrunning their last names, we’re awarding Gold, Silver, and Bronze in cultural chaos. It’s competitive, unhinged, and the only Olympics judged entirely by vibes and side-eye.
