Happy Thursday you pop culture junkies!
This week’s pod takes a look at the hilarious social media reactions to the rainstorm in Los Angeles. Angelenos really do lose it the moment a single raindrop hits the ground, and the memes did not disappoint. We also dive into the newest gourmet food sensation in New York, Meadow Lane, opened by a social media influencer and quickly becoming the Erewhon of the East Coast.
Plus, we get into the absolute travesty of Apple’s latest accessory, the iPhone Pocket, and why the internet is collectively cringing. There are also some wonderfully awkward TikTok trends making the rounds that we can’t ignore. And as always, we wrap with what to watch this week — from new releases to comfort binges you’ll be obsessed with.
