Join us as we break down Blue Origin's latest spaceflight that was supposed to be historic for women in space—but became the internet's favorite disaster instead.

We're diving into Katy Perry's absolutely cringe-worthy involvement, the tone-deaf celebrity moments, and how Blue Origin tried to package this as women's empowerment while getting completely roasted online. From bizarre rich people antics to social media meltdowns, we dissect how this mission went from "inspiring space history" to "getting trolled out of this earth."

Lina and Alissa are serving up all the tea on why this became the space mission everyone talked about for all the wrong reasons. We're covering the most brutal takes, the moments that made us physically cringe, and why billionaires continue to be hilariously bad at reading the room.

Buckle up—this one's a wild ride through celebrity cringe, space drama, and rich people being embarrassingly out of touch.

Palm trees are as iconic to Los Angeles as the Hollywood sign—but what if we told you most of them don’t even belong here? In this episode of Learned in Trivia, Lina and special guest Misia dive into the fascinating world of palm trees in LA. Misia shares her experiences living in the city while getting quizzed on trivia about native palm species and LA’s leafy impostors.

The girls who google dig into the historical roots of palm planting during the early 1900s, the 1932 Olympics beautification project, and why urban planners today are rethinking palms altogether. The conversation also explores the cultural symbolism of palm trees at SoCal staples like Coachella, and what these towering trees represent in the age of climate consciousness.

Whether you see palm trees as nature’s glam squad or just perfect Instagram props, this episode will change the way you see LA’s skyline. Big thanks to Misia for joining us on Learned in Trivia!
