We’re going on a total musical journey today! From Benson Boone’s "fast fashion" rollout to the absolute reign of black female artists in pop, we’re unpacking why music finally feels exciting again. Plus, Ash drops a wild theory about Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill being written about Uncle Joey from Full House. Yes, really. It’s a massive spiral into our favorite underrated bangers and Cody Simpson's bizarre new TikTok persona.
It was a total musical journey on the show today, and honestly, we’re feeling pretty lucky to be witnessing this pop era. We kicked things off with a high-stakes round of First and Last that quickly turned into a debate about "oversaturation" in the industry. Ash got on her high horse about Benson Boone, wondering if he’s giving off "fast fashion" vibes by dropping hits too quickly, or if he’s just that good.
The nostalgia hit a fever pitch when we started talking about Cody Simpson’s new TikTok persona, "Prince Neptune." This spiraled into a breakdown of the Full House theme song and a piece of trivia that genuinely broke our brains: the theory that Alanis Morissette wrote her most iconic heartbreak anthems about Dave Coulier. Seeing the world through the lens of Uncle Joey being the subject of You Oughta Know is a lot to process, and we aren't okay.
We also took a second to give flowers to the women leading the charge in music right now, from Doechii to Olivia Dean. Between the music rants, we checked in on Yas’s disastrous trip to the footy and debated the "hotness" of a perfectly crisp paper crease in a very satisfying round of Objectify. It’s a bit of chaos, a lot of tunes, and the exact energy you need to kick off the week
