What is going on with the idols we stan? From cheating Popstars to horrible allegations and lawsuits, these stars (the astrology and celebrity type) have some explaining to do. Will we still have our parasocial relationships and be fan girls at the end of this episode? Oh boy, do we have a FAN-tastic episode for you this week.
The news is so boring isn't it? Nothing ever happens- oh wait the that's a lie. Wanna know what has happened in the last week? Well these Barbie's can't wait to fill you in. Kelsey and Amy have all the hot gossip! from strikes and scabs to furry hackers, the internet isn't slowing down anytime soon.
So we were going to title this podcast “toxic gossip train” but we don't want to be copyrighted am I right friends? This week we're talking about the latest drama, but if you're chronically online you have seen and heard talked about it everywhere. We sprinkle in some of our own stories and antics, so it's not the same ukulele song and dance, but I guarantee you'll want to listen to this episode.
This week we are getting deep. Very deep, as deep as the ocean floor. We highly suggest you don't go that deep even if you have $250,000 to spare. That's right everyone in the world has seen the news and we want to talk about it so join us for a laugh a cry a bad joke or two as we memorialize the billionaires that just wanted to see the titanic.
It's a corporate world and we're just living in it. Olivia Rodrigo said it best that it's truly brutal out here. With layoffs left and right, the tech world is in its flop era. Everyone is feeling this recession and even stooping as low as stalking their exes on LinkedIn. Kelsey and Amy are breaking down the lows of the economy that are hitting us this week. If you take away anything from this episode when in doubt, unfollow The Rock.
Happy 69th episode for this episode we thought we would get super sexy and talk about everyone's favourite fantasy, being paid a living wage. That's all right! guess who is striking? Underpaid workers for better rights. Amy and Kelsey get into the CRA strike in Canada and the Writers Guild of America strike in the US. How hard is it to pay people what they deserve? Well I'm sure you could ask a CEO who's got 5 yards he thinks it's pretty hard.
Love is not patient, love is not kind. Love is fast and for content. This week Kelsey and Amy deep dive on season 4 of love is blind and all the controversies that have come out about Netflix's bachelor competitor. Will the show last in the long run? Or has the shark truly been jumped?
Hello friends, love is in the air with the American partner in town this week. That's right Bekah has a girlfriend who lives in Canada who is TOTALLY real. Kelsey sits this couple down for some hard-hitting questions about being a chronically online couple and some much-needed therapy to vent their frustrations. Will their relationship survive this session? Or should Kelsey quit her dream of becoming a psychiatrist?
It used to be my drinking and my smoking and my parting and me a happy little downward spiral, and alright with me. When we started the podcast that's when everything changed. Some things were lost, and others were gained. A new roommate, a new house, so many changes, makes my head spin. Now I've got a hobby that you live to listen This is life with CYTMS This is life with CYTMS This is life with Kelsey, Mason, Trevor, Arya, and Amy. Livin' life with CYTMS Livin' life with CYTMS!
