What You Can Expect From This Episode

In Today I Learned, Keisha prompts a candid discussion on learning to love your body after surgery and Chantal gets fired up talking about the mindboggling 50th anniversary of women being eligible for this financial benefit. [3:46] 

Then, in a new segment, Pop & Gen: Quick Hits, the duo covers: 

• The return of Ryan Murphy's '9-1-1' on ABC and the buzz about it on TikTok
• Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s latest paparazzi snaps - what's really going on?
• Their thoughts on the new 'Dancing with the Stars' cast which includes a scammer who’ll jig while wearing an ankle bracelet and a fired, then re-hired 'Real Housewife of ATL' (hint: we have opinions)
• A heartfelt tribute to recently lost Black entertainment legends 
• Instagram raising the maximum number of pics for a carousel [12:12] 

That’s followed by, Pop & Gen: Deeper Dives, where they dig into Hannah Berner’s glow up post-'Summer House,' Tiffany Haddish’s latest eye-rolling stunt, their nostalgia for the heyday of the VMAs, and Chantal slams MTV for sleeping on this rising R&B singer. [25:16]

Lastly, in Through Our Earbuds, they chat about a podcast for people who love both pop culture and deep thinking, a recent episode of the ‘Prestige TV' podcast that breaks down the impact of a beloved, but short-lived ‘90s drama discussed in CGS’ very first episode, a new bop that sees edgy singer Kehlani linking up with 90s R&B star Lil’ Mo and L.A. rapper Vince Staples, plus two hip-hop hits that Chantal has on repeat.
