  • The OpenAI Brand Trip, and Ariana Grande Steps Back from the Public Eye

    The OpenAI Brand Trip, and Ariana Grande Steps Back from the Public Eye
    Aug 5 2026
    Jodi and Nora start out by talking about some reader-submitted affair updates, and the bizarre and wonderful ‘Wicker’ trailer. Then, they dive into the media surrounding OpenAI’s influencer brand trip in the Hudson Valley this past weekend, and touch on Jonah Hill’s appearance on the Smartless podcast. Next, they talk about some songstresses, including Martha Reeves’s national anthem performance at the Women’s Professional Baseball League opening game, and Ariana Grande’s music video for “Petal” and the statement saying she’s stepping back from the public eye. Finally, they sift through the answers to this week’s introspective question: What’s always making you wonder, “How do other people do this (very normal) thing, and is it the same way I do this thing, or are they doing it better?”0:00 Affair updates7:55 ‘Wicker’ trailer15:06 OpenAI influencer brand trip41:50 Jonah Hill on Smartless50:32 Martha Reeves’s national anthem57:08 Ariana Grande1:11:36 Introspective QuestionHosts: Jodi Walker and Nora PrinciottiProducer: Sasha Ashall Learn more about your ad choices.

    ‘One Night Only,’ the ‘Life of M’ Controversy, and Influencing in Nantucket
    Jul 31 2026
    Jodi and Nora start out by addressing a hot dog cookie controversy and Aaron Rodgers’s new comments about his alleged wife. Then, they talk about two pieces of media that sound fake: Ryan Murphy’s ‘The Shards’ and ‘One Night Only’ starring Monica Barbaro and Mr. Dua Lipa. Next, they talk about the drama surrounding Rachel Cusk’s new novel, ‘Life of M,’ which the scuttlebutt has said is based on Natalie Portman. Finally, they weigh in on the discourse about a sign in a little shop in Nantucket that says “no influencers” and the state of influencing and over-tourism before each sharing their personal obsession for the week.0:00 Hot dog cookie controversy3:55 Aaron Rodgers’s alleged wife update8:30 ‘The Shards’14:47 ‘One Night Only’26:21 ‘Life of M’ Natalie Portman controversy46:23 “No influencers” sign in Nantucket1:13:39 Personal obsessionsHosts: Jodi Walker and Nora PrinciottiProducer: Sasha AshallEngineer: Remy Hernandez Learn more about your ad choices.
