Hi pals, 

In today's episode, we chat about Emma Robert's 'Nepo Baby' comments and Paul Mescal's latest pap shots with a certain indie musician. 

Next, do cheaters deserve to be exposed online? It's a question that was asked following the viral clip of a man on a United Airlines flight this week. We reference the article Exposing Cheaters Isn't Always A Flex by Angelina Chapin for The Cut and this TikTok. 

New friendship discourse dropped this week. What the hell is a 'medium friend' and why is the New York Times optimising friendship? And next, are people choosing their friends based on aesthetics only? That's what Dazed asked in an article by Nia Shumake. We also reference this TikTok by user Hey Miss Kelsey.

Also, have your friends ever airbrushed your social media pics? That's what happened to Manon Gilbart who wrote about it for Cosmopolitan UK. 

In recommendations, Jas enjoyed this personal essay by Victoria Spratt for Refinery29, while Maggie loved Elif Shafak's book which is out in August. 

Thank you for listening! 
Jas and Mags
