Catalina lost power so this week it’s Dena and Ashley, friend of the pod, discussing the trends you need to know. And firstly, you must know Nobody Wants This on Netflix because it’s all the rage. In absence, Ashley takes a stab at deciphering Catalina’s FYP which features Long Island accents (@thatguycraig_) and of course, Defying Gravity (@really.tall.guy). Dena’s FYP is Chappell Roan in more ways than one (@yourfinestpardon, @livaroonie). Did ya’ll catch Little Dee the turtle as a Pixar bird (@userwithalotof#s)?! Then Dena spotlighted the tuna watermelon dish from @ballehurns and legend has it that Ashley still hasn’t watched. They end the episode by falling into the Gap (@eldonipepperoni).
