7 - ‘Nobody Wants This,’ Nasty Neighbors, When Fashion Trends Return, and Boosie’s Homophobia

Cross Gen Sisters

This episode starts off hot with Chantal going off on a bird-feeding neighbor. [1:14] Then in Today I Learned the sisters react to the news of McDonald’s newest Big Mac and an interesting tidbit about Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop. [16:41]
Next in Pop & Gen: Quick Hits, the sisters pay homage to the latest celebrities we’ve lost including two actors who played multiple iconic roles, and discuss trailblazing journalist Connie Chung’s influence on girls and women. Then they shift tones and talk Ryan Murphy’s unique brain and his upcoming show All’s Fair starring Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, and Kim Kardashian?? And a nostalgic Upworthy article leads to a fun review of now useless skills like memorizing phone numbers. [22:43]
That’s followed by Pop & Gen: Deep Dives, where the pair chat about current fashion trends like crop tops and ankle socks, whether there’s an age limit on certain looks, and how they feel about trends returning. [39:25]
Then it’s time for On Our Screens and the sisters excitedly dig into the return of early aught stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in their new Netflix show, “Nobody Wants This.” They also review the latest season of the hot mess that is ‘Love is Blind’ and the documentary ‘Love on the Run’ about the prison guard who helped her convict paramour escape. [50:13]
The show wraps up with Through Our Earbuds talking about a moving segment during a recent episode of the ‘Higher Learning’ podcast and yukking it up with 'The Giggly Squad' pod. [58:31]
Also, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the sisters also get vulnerable as they recount how Keisha’s previous bouts with breast cancer affected the family.
So, whether you're a Gen Z-er, a Gen X-er, or somewhere in between or around, join Cross Gen Sisters for an hour of entertainment, heart, and fun!
