  • Kelly Clarkson Is BACK, and So Is HBO's 'Girls'

    Kelly Clarkson Is BACK, and So Is HBO's 'Girls'
    Oct 16 2026
    Is Kelly Clarkson relatable? Is she capable of “asymmetrical social warfare”? Adam Rubin has thoughts, and so do Jodi and Nora. The pod kicks off with updates on the flyaway pumpkin and Harry Styles at MSG, before diving back into the ongoing Kelly Clarkson bird situation. Then it’s off to Animal Corner, where they investigate Chicago billionaires feeding squirrels nuts and the Upper West Side barn owls taking over NYC. Plus, the Lenaquake is imminent, 'Girls' is making a comeback, and, as always, they wrap things up with their personal obsessions.

    The Kelly Clarkson Bird Feud, a Banana Bowl Bonanza, and Shane Gillis: Not Funny?
    Oct 14 2026
    It’s been a BIG week for the birds (both the women and literal ones). Jodi and Nora kick things off with Julianne Moore’s immaculate 'Architectural Digest' tour, Alexander Skarsgård’s deeply confusing footwear at the 'Wicker' premiere, and Tobey Maguire officiating his ex’s wedding. Then it’s time to enter the Banana Bowl, a.k.a. live-action 'Glee,' where the Jonas Brothers are involved and somehow so is the U.S. Department of War. (We have questions. Few answers.) Later, we head to Owned Court to unpack Shane Gillis’s 'SNL' monologue, and Jodi shares some boots-on-the-ground reporting on the Kelly Clarkson–Art of Play beef. Finally, they cap it off with a discussion of listener responses to this week’s introspective question: Are you more likely to join or lead a cult?
