Spotted: K, E, D desperately trying to manifest Internet celebrity with yet another episode of Embrace the Basic. They're talking all things Gossip Girl, but they aren't alone. There's a new girl on the pod, bringing her extensive knowledge of Blair Waldorf's wardrobe, and all the plot holes their Jimmy Choos gingerly pranced over. Like, is Nate Archibald just a lacrosse stick in a wig? Does Dan Humphrey have multiple personalities? And, why does Rufus wear so many necklaces? Rumor has it this episode is so jam packed with the scandalous lives of manhattans elite, they had to make it a 2 parter. Xoxo. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

Ooops, we podcasted again (sorry babes, had to) and this week we are honoring the esteemed 90's Pop Icon, Britney Frickin Spears. From the singles we belted into our hairbrushes to the infamous looks we tried to recreate, we're gyrating down memory lane and we're so glad you're joining us. We recount the incredible piece of cinema that is Crossroads, accept Justin's apology kind of, and discuss the current “Free Britney” social media movement. So grease up, and wriggle into your red latex turtleneck unitard- cause it's Britney, Bitch. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

YALL THE TEA IS JUST TOO GOOD- and we ain't talkin English breakfast. Much like Oprah, we've come out of hibernation to discuss the now infamous Royal tell all, with power couple Megan Markle and Prince HARRY. So as not to dissapoint, we keep things on brand with many tangents, most notably anime, Rob Lowe's hot TV son, and the wide varieties of plant based milks. The toddies are hot but the takes are hotter, so pinkies out for a tale of Remarkle-able Courage. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

Well babes, we made it. That was one DOOZY of a year, but we managed to make it to 2021 with a sum total of 60 mental breakdowns, 75 bottles of Rosè, 1000 Tiks tokked, and 100 new pet Instagrams followed. In this episode, we reflect on the content that got us through none of the ups and all of the downs 2020 had to offer. We talk making and breaking resolutions (less screen time is just not realistic right now okay?) and our expectations for the year ahead. Also, for the record, Dry January is canceled so grab some champs as we toast to you, dear listeners, for making it this far with us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

Babes, if you're not sipping an aesthetic peppermint hot chocolate, wearing a beanie and matching thermal pajama set while Embracing the Basic, did you even really listen? Don't do yourself a disservice like that because this week, we're talking cable holiday RomComs so cheesy it's almost too much for our lil resident vegan/honorary Norwegian. Because what is Christmas after all, without a hastily thrown together fundraiser in a small town, or being trapped in a miniature ceramic irish village, or a cameo from a washed up pop singer from your youth. We've got the hot takes you didn't know you wanted, so snuggle into that Home goods Sherpa throw and get ready to be moved by the spirit of Christmas (movies). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

Raise your hydroflasks and toast to the retailer that has become a staple in so many millennial self care routines- the one and only, TARGET. Just like Target, this episode has a lil bit of everything. Little Debbie Christmas Cakes, Danielle's newly found passion for an obscure Norwegian teen drama, and Kate recounts one of her more embarrassing visits to the Apple store, which leads us down one HELL of a tangent. Grab yourselves a drink for this one...it's a doozy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

It's Turkey Day Babes and there's a lot to be thankful for, despite this horrendous dumpster fire of a year! Cardi B released WAP, y'all got your little tushies out and voted, Danielle discovered witchcraft. What better a way to celebrate than listen to us run our dumb mouths about the parade, why we'd fuck mashed potatoes, and what emma really thought about the live action CATS! movie. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

Can we steal you a sec? Cause it's time for a journey babes- the best kind of journey one can take while maintaining social distance and Covid safety protocols, that is. That's right, we're talking about the vicarious journey to find love, courtesy of the infamous Bachelor Franchise. This week's episode has it all, romance, drama, what we imagine Daddy Chris Chris Harrison does in his trailer between takes. We discuss fan favorites, the contestants you love to hate, Colton's infamous fence jump (big yikes), and Dale Moss's checkered past as a Party City costume model. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message

It's fall y'all and we're kicking things off right with the seasonal debut of the pumpkin spice latte, or as its affectionately known among the “basic” community, the PSL. Not only will you get a history lesson you didn't know you wanted, but we'll also discuss the impact said beverage has had on pop culture and of course the stigma that surrounds it. And it won't end there, cause you KNOW we love a good tangent- we delve into body positivity in the amphibian community and discuss: have you ever seen your dad cry? As always, it's a ride (with several pit stops) so buckle up, cozy up, and girl, make it a venti. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/embrace-the-basic/message
