On today's episode I'm joined by Torry from Ready to Be Petty podcast where we break down why seemingly frivolous pop culture topics affect us all. We analyze the controversy surrounding Call Her Daddy and her controversial guests like Jamie Lynn Spears and Colton Underwood. We discuss Euphoria; its PR couples and the meaning behind all the tiddies. Is it gratuitous and exploitative or a meaningful statement on the way we as a society fetishize youth?
And of course we talk Kardashians; why they don't have as much money as they say they do and try to figure out wtf happened to all their pets. If you must skip through this section (but like, why though?) it's from minute 8:29-32:14.

We take a meandering journey through the different shapes the Kardashians have taken through the ages, both literally and figuratively. We look at the meanings behind the tropes upon which the family has built their career and the ways they are backtracking on that as they remove their BBLs and date tattooed white boys. 
We explore:
• the context of how beauty standards have changed throughout the ages and what that has become today in the age of social media
• the ways plastic surgery and beauty trends have gone and which cultures they borrow from
• the morals that have been imposed on the debate over whether plastic surgery is valid or not. 
• pretty privilege
• the defense of plastic surgery and exploring its downsides & ways people can become addicted to it
