Hey Weed Whackers! Welcome back to another Pop Culture Archives episode of She's in the Weeds where we dive into some of our favorite movies, people, crazes, and pop culture moments of yesteryear. Today's episode is all about the Clinton Lewinsky affair and how Monica Lewinsky became our generation's most notorious scandal figure. First, Hollis gives us a recap of Monica's new podcast Reclaiming which gave her the idea for the episode and then the girls are diving right into what they remember from 1998. Next they're making some revelations about things they either didn't remember or perhaps never even knew when it was happening in real time. Sam was 12 and Hollis was 10 in 1998 so it was time to rewind and reexamine everything with adult eyes and ears. The sheer magnitude of the scandal and it's far reaching implications are still hard to believe even 27 years later and Monica's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The girls discuss how the media portrayed her and some theories on how certain narratives came to be. They'll be getting in the weeds with details from media clips, interviews, documentaries, podcasts, and of course their own opinions on it all. They'll be examining her perspective of the story and how some of the narratives surrounding it have shifted in a post me too culture. Finally they'll be sharing some other allegations surrounding Bill Clinton and thoughts on how a scandal like this would play out in today's society and media. Meet you in the weeds!

Hello Weed Whackers! Whackadoodles!? Double Dubs!? Just spitballing here. Welcome back to another episode of She's in the Weeds! The ladies are kicking off the episode with a recap of the No Kings protest they attended and how good it felt to fulfill their civic duty. They may not have solved all the world's problems but it felt amazing to assemble with like minded people and they encourage you to get out there and make your voice heard. Next up Sam's really struggling with the children's bedtime shenanigans and Hollis needs to figure out how to make small talk with other dog parents. It's tough out there! Next the girls have some thoughts on Paige Desorbo's new sleepwear? line, Daphne. They can't quite figure out what it is, who it's for, or quite frankly who can afford it. Talk of fashion sparks a conversation about size inclusivity and the lack of consideration for all body types. When are designers going to get with the program? Then it's on to some circle backs on the ongoing Blake and Justin drama and the almost forgotten segment for Pop Culture Queen of the month. Spolier alert, it's Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie's really having a moment and it leads Sam and Hollis into a much needed conversation about And Just Like That. What is happening here? At this point they're watching for Carrie's outfits and to feel less alone. (Be sure to listen so you can be on the inside of that joke.) After a sufficient yap session the girls are getting in the weeds about Hollis's dating escapades, unhinged Hinge behavior, and some of the distinct differences between the way men communicate to women online and vice versa. As always they wrap up the episode with gripes about daily life and water consumption and grapes to summer confections and nostalgia. Thanks for being here! Love ya!

Hey Weed Whackers!? What do we think, do we like it? It could be fun! We'll workshop it but for now let us know what you think. Today is the day! Welcome to the first official episode of She's in the Weeds! The ladies are kicking off the episode with an introduction of the new name and some back story on the old one, why they changed it, and what listeners can expect as they continue to roll out the podcast face lift. Then they're yapping about vehicle maintenance, leather couches, and Sam makes a surprising revelation about a childhood favorite movie. Next up, the girls are overdue for a reality check. They're sharing thoughts on RHONY's fake news about being canceled, who they hope will return and who might be a fun addition to mix things up. Then its on to the Valley, Danny Booko's dark side, and the never ending BS that spews from Jax Taylor's mouth. Will this man ever change or even learn? Once they've dissected the Bravo drama it's time to get in the weeds. Today's topic is Artificial Intelligence and the new age of online misogyny. AI is an extremely useful tool and something both Sam and Hollis use regularly but they think we can all agree it doesn't come without concerns. They'll be discussing how AI perpetuates and exacerbates gender bias and stereotypes and racial discrimination and how it's influencing a new generation of digital natives. They even asked AI to help them understand this problem and how to solve it and you might be surprised at the answers. Chat is a self aware king and we love to see it! (And yes, chat is a man. For now anyway.) As always they wrap up the episode with gripes about driving and bedtime struggles and grapes to sign in conveniences and woodland critters. Thanks for being here!
