Adele's Hair: Cultural Appropriation Or Appreciation?

There's a show we're obsessed with and we need you to be too. Season two of Adults just landed on Disney+ and it's somehow even funnier than the first, so we're deep-diving the show that has Taylor Swift, us, and apparently all of TikTok in a chokehold.

We're also unpacking why the US Dancing with the Stars has quietly become the hottest ticket in Hollywood, with A-listers reportedly sliding into DMs begging for a spot. The latest name attached has sparked a full-blown fan uprising, and one theory about what it all really says about the world is a little too convincing.

And finally, we're getting to the bottom of all the lies Kylie Jenner has recently told us, from a very questionable interview to the truly unhinged claim about a talking cat that has us genuinely spooked. We need answers.

MORNING TEA: Jennifer Aniston's Boyfriend Spills Their Secrets & Sydney Sweeney's Sexy New Co-Star Is From Off Campus

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/a0c4d755-92db-426c-82d0-b4b40043aa24/transcript

Olivia Rodrigo pulled off the girl-power festival of the year, and the surprise guest list alone had us spiralling. We're unpacking the moment three music legends walked out on stage and the jaw-dropping donation that doubled overnight.

Then, Andrew Garfield's prestige new film is drowning in Robin Hood allegations, and honestly, nobody can tell us if he's playing the man in green or just some guy. We're deep diving the marketing meltdown that has two studios quietly deleting posters and the internet fully confused.

Finally, Tom Cruise is bringing back one of his most iconic films with a very pregnant new co-star, and the announcement video is peak Tom. But there's a Nicole Kidman connection lurking underneath, plus one furious former co-star making it messy.
