Pop Culture Roundup featuring Christy from X Knows All

Releasing this one early since it has some topical topics in it! Joined by Christy today to talk:

- VMAs (performances, celebrities, my butt munched on tiktok for our Taylor take)

- The new GUTS album and Olivia Rodrigo

- Mila and Ashton and...Scientology?

- Drew Barrymore's show is back

- Kylie and Timmy make me hot and I don't know why and Christy is triggered by them

Comments

Latina here who was raised steeped in Latin American media! Yes, shakira is HUGE in Latina America. That’s woman raised me lol. I have never known a life without Shakira!!

Bunny

Agree! Anti-hero wasn’t that amazing

Victoria Smith

Girl… Taylor is ENFJ! She is such a daydreamer lol

Victoria Smith

I love you back!

xknowsall

Can you put time stamps in for future episodes?

Leah Todd

taylor’s been really messy lately. but it’s kind of giving alcoholic to me????

Alex

Limerence is when you're in love with the idea of someone, a fantasy you've created, not the actual person

Erin

I love Christy! you two have such a fun back and forth together

shartsimpson

so many thoughts but first off also obsessed w Ice spice and love her outfit so much. It was also a reference to an old Britney vmas outfit that was referencing an old Madonna outift which makes it even cooler. Was confused by her and Taylor together so much ik they did the karma remix but that video looked like they had been edited in and never met. 😭 anyway need to know how you feel ab Taylor and Demi following eachother? At least 1 less drama now

Olivia

Im seeing a potential rumor about Olivia Wilde and Andrew Garfield from the googs and Deux (although Reddit discredits it due to the faxt that he has reportedly been in Europe most of the year… nothing about Olivia Rodrigo … Although there were rumors about him and the young actress from Bridgerton … ugh you really cant trust any of them (I am also obsessed with AG, if that wasnt obvious)

Zoe Reinus

LOVE this ep!!! so so excited for the next ones 🤩

Brooke Berry

Shakira had a huge global hit this year!!!

Bippity Boop

That's so funny because I felt Taylor was being fake in her VMA videos 😂 like she knew cameras were on her. Also 9 VMAs?? Idk. I didn't think antihero was that good. Sorry not sorry

Problematic Bestie

After listening, Olivia is in her 2002 Stripped Christina moment. She gives zero fucks 😏

SOL88

also i think miley, selena, demi, britney, we’re all younger than olivia started. Miley released banger. at the same age olivia is now

LOVING this ep! On Taylor—imo she definitely only still attends the VMAs to make a point and “take her power back” after the kanye incident in 2008. For me, I always think she peacocks at that event now shamelessly, because she views it as her event to reclaim. There is honestly no reason for someone of her magnitude to be attending an award show put on by what has been considered (although this show may have revived them!) a lowkey dying network (this isn’t my view completely but i listen to BTB and take Troy’s word for it). For example, she doesn’t even go to the Met anymore, and has attended the VMAs on a somewhat more regular basis than even the Grammys. I know it’s because she’s nominated for the VMAs technically but still it’s definitely much less serious than those other events you’d think she’d attend. I expected nothing less from taylor this year, I even thought last year when she announced midnights was a not so subtle way to let everybody know this is her show. Honestly, I don’t even hate it. I imagine for olivia it’s frustrating to no end, but I think Taylor views herself as still that 18 year old girl that Olivia was when she broke out so she doesn’t care, and just thinks olivia needs to wait her turn.

So, so glad to hear that the comments on your last post put your mind at ease- we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t love what you were doing! I always look forward to your Patreon eps being released and always wondering what you’ll cover next 💕

Shelby

When are you going to be in Nashville?? Would 10000% buy you a drink!

Gretchen Piening

Also I think it’s noteworthy that throughout That 70’s Show, they made sure that Mila was written into relationships with Ashton, Danny, and Wilmer’s characters even though it seemed so forced in the storyline

Averie

A lot of people have already commented about how Mila just seems angry & annoyed in the apology video, but I noticed that she consistently shakes her head no when making her statements & I once listened to an FBI body language expert say that’s a tell-tale sign that you don’t mean what you’re saying

Nicolas Cage deep dive

LadySwampWitchGivsNeauFux

Lacey is my favorite guts song 🎧

CalmDownDanielle

Seeing it through that lease changes things for me. That made me sad for Olivia when Taylor walked in right as Olivia walked off stage and then with Sabrina next to her!?

CalmDownDanielle

This felt like this year was an old school early 00s VMAs

CalmDownDanielle

Taylor was gross 🤮 at the VMAS & it was posturing for Olivia Rodrigo to make her feel small. Why is Taylor so mean ?

LadySwampWitchGivsNeauFux

This was my impression too, most people voted option 2 because they didn’t want to lose the Patreon, not because they wanted a cohost :/ I hate to add in more confusion, but I’m in the keep-things-the-way-they-were camp! Like a ton of people said, my fave episodes BY FAR are Shannon’s solo episodes <3

Emilyyyyyyy

Loved Taylor since 2008, but I completely agree with you🫣

Olivia Wilson

She is like the Beyonce of Latin America. She’s a HUGE deal.

Diana Her

Christy?! Are you kidding me?! Fuck yes!!! My prayers have been answered. Welcome Christy 🫶🏼

Diana Her

Omg shocking to hear ppl not know Shakira is huge in Latin America… I would recommend you check out her early albums too she used to be more into like Latin rock. She’s awesome so effortlessly cool.

Valeria Miranda

Thank you Corinne this means a lot!

xknowsall

Let us know what you want to hear more of. Thanks for the support!

xknowsall

Yeah nobody else had a camera on them all night so we could analyze their every single move 😂

Mallory

If any of us had a camera on us the whole night looking as hot as Taylor did, we’d be peacocking as well. I also don’t understand the complaint about her for clapping for Olivia. Even if it was fake, it’s the polite thing to do. Can you imagine if she clapped for everyone else except for Olivia???

Mallory

Just listened to the episode. Shannon- is there any way you could do another poll with a different opinion added to just… keep things as is? I was rereading the comments on the last posts and it seemed like a lot of people voted option 2 bc it was the better of the two but majority chimed in about keeping things the way they are! I like your solo late night patreon chats and would hate to see them sidelined bc of this whole Reddit thing!

Cheyenne Hart

I can’t hate on Taylor @ the VMAS because it was just so fun to watch and if she was doing it “on purpose” then I still don’t care because it was just so good to watch. 😂 she brought a smile to my face because she acted how I would have acted. No shame in my grabbing attention game baby! Lol Love your Patreon and podcast so much. Brings so much laughter and light to my work days. Love that we will get to hear Christie more too 🥰🫶🏼

Marissa

I’m so excited that Christy will be a regular co-host! It’s really relaxing to listen to you two together because you’re both funny and energetic.

Lily

So happy to hear more from Christy! You two compliment each other so well! Shannon you’re doing great things, and I’m so excited for what is next! You literally get me through the workday😅

Corinne

Thank you!!!

xknowsall

Thank you!

So relieved to hear that the patreon is staying!!! 💙

Lovelace

Hi Shannon! This is a bit late but just wanted to say you are supported and loved and I have been listening to your podcast for about 2 years now. You’re amazing and very entertaining and thank you so much for all the wonderful content you create 🩷💘

Lyly Gomez

my two favsssss i love yall

Ariana

I was screaming at my phone while y’all were talking about shakira! Lol ok so Mexican here, shakira is our Beyoncé if not BIGGER! This woman has been relevant since the 90s and has dropped bangers from so many genres. She started in alternative rock in Spanish and literally broke records. Then moved on to pop and her album laundry service she wrote it in Spanish THEN in English and released it mind you she was still learning English! (Underneath your clothes on this album is a MASTERPIECE) she’s obvi moved on to do the World Cup songs/ more English songs but she has recently came back to so reggaeton and dropped this insane diss track to pique her ex and his side chick. She wrote this song with so many sneak disses on it it’s insane !!! At one point she says I’m worth more thanTWO twenty two year olds (and she drops this line at 2:22 ) referring to piques then 22 year old mistress. Ugh and then drops another diss track with Karol g who is just the most massive Latin American pop star who also was burned by another man in the industry. I could go on and on! Shakira is our goddess ! She has been for literally 3 decades it’s insane!!

Andrea Garcia

That short episode was one of my favorite podcast episodes OF ALL TIME. Gonna have to listen again soon.

Beth Kennedy

Yayyy, I love christy!!!🥳🎉🎉🥰🥰

Ali Belle

Yay!!!!

sarala

A scream queens deep dive: not the show but like Jamie Lee, Neve, etc.

Corinne Huntley

Someone’s stitch came up to your video and I swiped away so fast. I was like I’m sure I agree with Shannon. Also to love Taylor is to criticize her.

Corinne Huntley

Also did anyone else find all her eye contact with the camera while singing along to cool for the summer very intentional on lines like “I’m a little curious too” 👀

Bronagh

I agree that Taylor probably wasn’t being 100% genuine BUT she was probably very aware there’s a camera on her all night and she’s absolutely a people pleaser so just went all in on giving everyone a show and prove she has no animosity with Olivia from her side. Seems like she was doing what she would usually do at award shows with the added awareness of how many eyes are on her now. Also I saw a close up of her hands actually shaking when NSYNC came on so I think she genuinely is just fan girling for them hahaha And also, welcome Christy 🤠🤠

Bronagh

So glad the patreon is staying 🙌🏼 and that sounds like a plan - unhinged content on patreon 🕺🏼

Alex 😇

Ayyee i was right it’s christy, glad to have her 💕and thank god patreon is staying here staying weird

Chelsea Johnston

the parasocial relationship of the patreon community and you shannon feels very mutual lmao, your podcast feels like having late-night chats with a friend, so while I probably seem crazy I do nod along and chime in in my head and i have so much fun listening while going about my life

Elijah O M

Welcome Christy 🤍

Tiresi Kirbae

I literally re-listened to the Malaysian airlines episode yesterday because I missed this duo 😭

Tiresi Kirbae

Girl, I was WAITING eagerly for you to speak on Ashton and Mila!
