For Taylor Swift, the relative cost of an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which costs $1,199 for the average person, is just 50 cents. The real cost of her Rhode Island mansion, $17.75 million, is equivalent to $20,217 for her.
The hosts interpret this as people attracting a larger, less meaningful circle of friends when they are in a negative or surface-level phase of life. As they improve and focus on personal growth, they naturally weed out toxic or superficial relationships, leaving a smaller but more meaningful group of friends.
The opposite of paranoia is 'pronoia,' which is the belief that the universe is conspiring to work in your favor. It’s the idea that good things are meant for you and the universe is secretly benefiting you.
The hosts believe that gossiping creates a false sense of bonding. They argue that while everyone gossips occasionally, relying too much on negativity and gossip in friendships can lead to a toxic cycle. They suggest focusing on meaningful conversations to build deeper, more positive connections.
A listener asked if they were an asshole for not wanting to date someone with life-threatening allergies to nuts and fish, as they enjoy eating those foods. The hosts found the question funny but suggested that it might not be a dealbreaker if the person genuinely liked the individual.
The hosts recommend 'Woman of the Hour,' a psychological thriller on Netflix directed by Anna Kendrick. They found it well-done and engaging, despite initially falling asleep during it.
Alex believes Taylor Frankie Paul is either a mastermind or genuinely unaware of her repetitive behavior, such as losing weight due to anxiety and then getting back together with her ex. She finds her entertaining but questions whether Taylor is aware of her own patterns.
The hosts admire Kristen Cavallari for handling her breakup with maturity and not throwing shade at Jay Cutler after his DUI. They appreciate her focus on being a mom and her career, and her ability to give grace where it’s needed.
The hosts found it amusing that Sofia Richie and Jake Shane crashed a wedding and joined the dance floor. They thought it was a fun and spontaneous moment, and the couple seemed like good sports about it.
Jordan has been mistaken for Kat Stickler multiple times, especially during the early days of her TikTok career. She finds it flattering but also unsettling, as people often send her photos of Kat thinking it’s her.
In this week's episode, Alex Bennett and Jordyn Woodruff discuss finding true friends in life, what the dollar means to Taylor Swift, and who their doppelgängers are. They also chat about negative friends, how gossiping creates a false sense of bonding, and the opposite of paranoia.
