This week the girls describe each other in three words (bean bag, kid's toy, AI) and discuss animated movies that make them cry, bad behavior at concerts, and Lana Del Rey getting married.

This week we forget to talk about Lana Del Rey getting married. Much to our dismay, we discuss Anna Delvey getting voted off Dancing With The Stars, Adam Brody and Kristen Bell's chemistry in Nobody Wants This, and Selena Gomez posting to Juno at the Sabrina Carpenter show at MSG. Hailey is out sick, and we can't help but wonder if we would have forgotten to speak about Lana Del Rey getting married to her alligator tour guide if she were here.

Sabrina Carpenter is booked and busy with the announcement of her Netflix holiday special “A Nonsense Christmas” and the kickoff of the Short n' Sweet Tour. Dancing With The Stars is in full swing, Whole Foods is discontinuing the Berry Chantilly cake, and casting for the Wuthering Heights leads has been decided.

Raygun scams her way into The Olympics, Australia's Thunder From Down Under is coming to Nashville, and it's time for Tom Hanks to retire. The girls interrogate Hailey on growing up in New York and peeing her pants in public. Oh, and they also plan their funerals.

Spoiler alert: Paul Mescal and Ayo Edibiri are in every single one. Rachel has no running water, Hailey is in the last year of her mid 20s, and Ava thinks she's being sent to prison.

This week the girls earn a gold medal in yapping! They talk Olympics, Olympics, and… more Olympics. I mean, need we say more? (The answer is yes.) Snoop Dogg is eveywhere, Flavor Flav is an American hero, and Tom Daley is knitting in the crowd. The girls love the Olympics, but they all agree: their kids better not have Olympic aspirations… the girls can't handle it, emotionally or financially.

Clinton Kane embarrasses himself on the internet, Katy Perry releases the flop of the summer, and Challengers is still living rent free in the their heads. And to no one's surprise, the girls have impeccable taste in movie quotes.

It's the first ever episode of TLTC, and the girls already have life all figured out (or maybe just this week). They talk Paul Mescal in the new Gladiator II trailer, predict their favorite songs from Sabrina Carpenter's track list for Short n' Sweet, and debate whether or not SpongeBob is as funny as the world says it is. Rachel's going on a date! Hailey may have lice! Ava commits book club betrayal.

We're so excited to start sharing all our thoughts on pop culture, friendship, and being in our twenties with you! Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, and sometimes we do both at the same time. Follow our TikTok and Insta @tltcpod to get notified of our first episode coming soon!
