The girlies talk about the happenings — LA’s hottest restaurant run by a psychopath, Taylor Swift, Matty Healy, and the swifties in arms, and why we should all just start volunteering instead of getting in Twitter beef. Plus, we answer a few listener advice questions and tell you that you’re not a bad person if your room is messy, grad school is what you make of it, and to keep your back straight while weightlifting.

Of all the horrors in the world, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend should not be on anyone’s outrage agenda! It doesn’t make you a better person to publicly shame people because you don’t like their vibe, it makes you incredibly sheltered and annoying, just try to enjoy your one short life and accept the multitude of perspectives that you have absolutely no control over! It’s a sad truth but millions of people around the world have south park family guy cum town red scare sense of offensive humour, you don’t have to find it funny but you should at least understand that it’s not at all serious to them.. I wish them all the best! They probably have a lot in common. I like the thought of Taylor hanging out with Denise Welch, probs better vibes than stiff tea time with the Alwyn’s

madison castle

I went to the 1975 concert in Newcastle and Matty brought out his dad to sing and then Lewis Capaldi was apart of the satire

Evelyne

Queens, before you start talking gossip cn you pls first explain whats going on? Idk what tf is going on with miss t swift

Evelyne

Ok you do explain it but those first 5 minuted i was really stressed OK 😢🥺

Stina Olsson

I’m from Sweden and me and my finnish boyfriend have been constantly shouting ”obamna…SODA!” to each other from across the house for like the last 3 months. I fucking love that one

Josefina Troncoso

since we’re in a place of safety can I just say that I *finally* managed to wash my dishes after like a month and a half of ✨depression✨/autistic sensory sensitivity/chronic pain making everything extra hard? now… on to do everything else 🫠 thank you for this discussion, it made me feel so much better for being like this - I know it’s temporary bc I get summer depression, but it still fucking sucks

lily fromm

ELIZA PLEASE DO THE LANA DEL REY PODCAST

Hannah

I know there are bigger issues than Taylor Swift’s casually racist bf and her refusal to speak up on attacks on LGBT people, but I see this as part of a bigger issue. As a queer person it all feels like part of this bigger culture war issue where brands (bc Taylor swift is a brand) like target are pulling back from LGBT support and I don’t think i’m weird or sheltered for feeling sad and anxious about that. And it’s really weird to me that both blind swifties and causal observers are so comfortable shutting down anyone expressing concern and disappointment. Ngl the whole Matty thing really killed a lot of the excitement I had for the Taylor swift concert I spent a dumb amount of money on and i’m allowed to have my feelings about it as a queer fan feeling used idk!!!

Hannah

I get what you mean. That said, as a queer fan, it’s a small thing part of something bigger as other big brands like target pull away from our communities. Idk I think i’m allowed to have feelings about that and also do more effective things about the bigger issues. It’s not necessary to shut down fans expressing disappointment

Hannah

I did giggle when swifties were upset about Matty in a red scare hat tho. He probs barely knows what it is lmao. Like go put that energy into your friends Logan square bf doing the same damn thing 😵‍💫

mimi

everyday of my restaurant job(s) amid the chaos, rudeass customers, etc. i would think to myself: there should be mandatory enlistment in the restaurant/service industry for everyone in the US for at least 1 year... people need to be HUMBLED.😭 lol

ssteph

i’ll say it, i don’t want celebrities to talk about politics lmao i’d rather they quietly donate to causes that aren’t evil

ssteph

also tbh re taylor swift i think the only reason she ever even said anything about politics is in like 2016ish crazy trumpers we’re calling her like their aryan princess or whatever

A

Eliza a lana del Rey podcast from u would be the best thing that ever happened to me

Hannah Long

Petition for Julia to cover every song by the 1975

✨

Before even listening to this episode I'm gonna say this - people who are that invested in Taylor swift are giving Disney adult. I don't care that she's technically a human being, everything we see is a walking talking corporation. I hate the way she's positioned herself in relation to feminism. I find it gross and disingenuous that she only bring ups issues that affect HER and her money. Her feminism has absolutely no bite behind it, zero substance.

ssteph

ok so idgaf about matty healy specifically like that just seems like it’s not my business but i do spend a lot of time in online taylor swift spaces because her music means a lot to me and i like to discuss the lyrics. that said, i’ve seen a wide variety of reactions to the matty healy thing by people who care A LOT and yeah it all mostly boils down to parasocial relationships and feeling like taylor swift is more of their friend than a famous person. and i could write a dissertation on that parasocial relationship tbh, taylor swift specifically has spent her entire career building it and these people aren’t idiots for getting sucked in, it’s very easy to get sucked in, i can feel it happening to myself sometimes. taylor swift also has her image pretty locked down tight, like you NEVER hear about her saying outright weird/bigoted shit you know? maybe because she doesn’t think those things, and that’s the assumption i think a lot of these fans operate under, that she’s at her core a good person. i also think people know that you are the company you keep, so watching her date someone the internet has deemed a racist monster has completely changed their perspective of her, which is disappointing. this has gotten long so i’ll stop but idk i find Taylor Swift The Public Figure absolutely fascinating and i hope someone does a case study one day on parasocial relationships using her and the swifties because there is A LOT to uncover there

Tara Buxton

julia your chocolate impression made me BELLY LAUGH

Robyn

I would definitely listen to your Lana del Rey podcast Eliza pls do it even as a limited series pod

Sofia

the matty healy taylor swift infographic was so…

Isø

Some might say Taylor speaking up would just be surface level appeasing fans like Mr Styles, she’d still get picked apart for virtue signalling and not doing enough. She can’t win, so may as well just carry on being an incredible lyricist and a pop star, she’s providing escapism and joy to everyone who’ll accept it. With love and light, I still think it’s a waste of energy to expect/demand strangers to speak up on anything. Just do you. I’m a 29 year old semi-offline British bisexual, so perhaps just don’t get it. I was in the trenches on 2010s tumblr though and this is all feeling eerily familiar. You don’t have to see it all as an attack and deeply related to the culture wars, you can choose your own adventure! Perspective counts for a lot, protect your mental well-being and try to enjoy your short time on earth❤️ (pls don’t be mad at me, am sharing this with all the love in my heart)

Tara Steere

Unimportant but I’m dead at julia’s matty healy impression

Hannah

Thankfully I can choose my own battles with popstars. I can't, unfortunately, choose my own battles when it comes to legislation in my country that makes me question if I'll be able to raise a family here someday as a gay person. That's really the core of the problem, a pop star not speaking up after promising to in the past is just insult to injury. I appreciate your response but it isn't helpful to tell people to focus on the positive when public support is disappearing as people's rights are taken away.

Hannah

To be honest, I am more bothered by people being dismissive of these concerns and telling people to just focus on the positive. It's more about coming to the painful realization that I only felt safe in my country as a queer person because my existence was briefly deemed profitable and that's no longer the case, as demonstrated by brands like Taylor and Target pulling away from us after pledging support in the past. It's a canary in the coalmine and it's teetering on gaslighting imo to tell people they shouldn't worry about these important cultural moments that pave the way for legislation and material harm aimed right at them

car

i have much to say about the internet's obsession with sunscreen- i believe that 95% of sun fearmongering is because everybody is afraid of aging. and only the other 5% is about melanoma. everybody is going to look like an old hagstress eventually. whenever that happens for me is in god's hands 😮‍💨✊ i'm tryna detach from my outward appearance anyway ♥️♥️

Hannah

also not to keep on abt matty thing but i gotta get my thoughts out or my adhd ass is not gonna be able to focus on my actual work later lmao. from a meta perspective, it reminds me of the try guys "scandal" last year. I was briefly shocked by the news and reacted online (since it's not something i engage with irl) and moved on w my life. Seems like a lot of people also briefly reacted online since that's where they engaged with the Try Guys and for some reason the milennial buzzfeed writer class interpreted that wave of casual reactions as damnations and statements. Like, are people overreacting or are we given their reactions too much weight because they happen online? Personally i don't have a ton of swiftie friends in real life so most of my reactions and processing of everything from new songs to disappointing moves like her association with matty ends up online. that doesn't make it a declaration of war, it's semi-public diary ramblings people are putting too much weight onto

Libby

hot take but at least he’s interesting… ms swift is almost inhuman in her blandness and refusal to take any kind of risk, at least at times edge lord matty is trying to say something poignant

✨

While I love the spirit of this, skin cancer is SO COMMON - I actually beg of you to use sunscreen. I don't when it's cloudy either cause even though it's probably true that you should, that doesn't feel real cause I can't see the sun lol. But please protect your skin!!

✨

LOVE the takes in this ep. And yes I'll still be listening to my personal favorite Taylor swift songs in the same way I'll be seeing Frozen 3 in theaters.

ssteph

this whole second half of your comment: omg yes. i also think nuance and tone get lost online so people take a lot of little jokey jokes far more seriously than they should

car

oh i'm not a boycotter of sunscreen! but i think that people are often afraid of the wrong thing. but ig if the fear of aging skin gets people to wear sunscreen then that's not so bad in the end hahaha

Micaela

My understanding of the try guys scandal was that it was a bigger deal because ned almost entirely profited off of how much he loves his wife so cheating on her like debased all of that and he also cheated on her with a much younger subordinate in the company that he was a partial owner of so it is directly related to anyone who consumed/purchased his content

Micaela

I genuinely don't have enough information about taylor swift and her life decisions to make an informed opinion but the stuff with the try guys I don't think is a "why do we care about a celebrity's personal life that much"

Jenni ✨️

Send help I can't stop picturing the hilarious little binchtopia edits in my mind as I'm listening along 😭

Micaela

As someone who goes back and forth between being obsessively on twitter and then not touching it for months, I feel like my twitter at least used to be a lot of people teasing tswift for being incredibly mediocre with her vocal range and dancing skills especially compared to a lot of other artists who don't get as much hype as her

Nora bedard

Eliza I absolutely loved what u said about lana, her journey and the sad girl trope in the episode with Ashley! Incredible insight 💕

Bridget Kolf

talking about what we do to get our chores done and I’m like “well there’s this lil podcast”

kenny

i love the 1975 🖤🖤 their music is to me what lana’s is to eliza. and im glad eliza brought up the fact that the outrage against matty is taking away from actual harmful people and nothing is being done by being mad about him. he can be pretentious and annoying but he really isnt a BAD person and def not someone that needs to be taken down lmao.

Hannah

Oh 100%! I found it weird how people ignored or played that down just because the level of attention seemed disproportionate. It was also so weird to see people call the remaining guys dramatic for having feelings about it. Having a best friend and business partner open your their business to ENORMOUS liability in the name of getting his dick wet would be a massive betrayal for anyone! I see how it may have felt like disproportionate attention but that’s no excuse to invalidate a fucked up thing that happened to someone

Josie

I love u guys, but as a Black queer former swiftie, your Matty Healy take fell short for me. For a long time I’ve found Taylor Swift to be annoying in her white feminist politic. To me, the issue with Matty Healy is not that he “made some sexist comments,” but that his constant racist jokes about women of color and particularly his degradation of Black women and sex workers is absolutely vile. Taylor aligning herself so heavily with feminism but then being complicit in the degradation of women of color explicitly confirms what what has been implicit for a long time: her white feminism is deeply self serving and she doesn’t give a shit about Black women. The whole “we have bigger fish to fry, so work at a soup kitchen and worry about abortion” take seems like a diversion from the issue and detracts from the accountability of white stans who are posting at Eras like “omgggg my queeeen.” I get that people bought their expensive Eras tickets months ago, so people are going to still go, but go, don’t post about it, and move on. Have decorum, enjoy her music without glorifying her, and stop making excuses for a woman who absolutely doesn’t give a shit about a chuck of her fan base.

lauren baker

how do y’all deal with separating art from artists who are sexual abusers? :/ dealing with that right now

Hannah

100%, I feel the same way with the “go volunteer” comments. As if I can’t volunteer AND be mad that I can’t listen to my favorite music without remembering her support of people like me was a cash grab

Susie McKeon

Arguably matty has done SIGNIFICANTLY more for marginalized groups than taylor swift has ever done

laura palmer

matty healy is an edge lord but has also done MILES more than taylor will ever do for marginalized communities. he’s also talked a lot about he is a hard person to like and idk like he’s not a bad guy lol like if you got ur entire life recorded and every word out of context you too would be cancelled

georgiashakey

I mean I don’t think you could definitely say he isn’t a bad person?? bc either way we don’t actually know him? I don’t think it’s helpful to downplay any level of harm caused by privileged white men by “he’s pretentious and annoying” when regardless of his intentions (irony or satire or whatever) he’s said racist things

georgiashakey

Yeah i agree, was really reminding me of when billie elish was saying the depp/heard trial wasn’t important when roe v wade was being overturned as if the depp/heard trial didn’t have a huge cultural consequence for misogyny and set a legal precedent for abusers. Like things that happen online/in celebrity culture doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

laura palmer

and not to be parasocial but PLEASE read and watch his interviews because he’s incredibly intelligent and has done (imo) net good

kenny

exactly, we dont know him! thats why i dont think we can say he truly is a bad person. i’m not saying he doesn’t deserve criticism or accountability, everyone does. but theres a lot more issues to be outraged about, imagine if the outrage was shifted towards actually doing the work instead of twitter and reddit threads.

madeline

pleaaase share the link to that reel 😭 need that for the archives!

Susie McKeon

I listened to it and he was just laughing at what they were saying 🤷‍♀️ he didn’t actually say anything actually bad. I think he just said that he didn’t get where ice spice came from (he also apologized for this)

maya

eliza’s luxury restaurant talk is reminding me of the book sweetbitter, you might enjoy it if you haven’t read it already!

Juliet Deane

yeah i dont know why people find her so endearing. she is a 2014 white feminist stuck in 2023. i feel like she hasnt even caught up to the way current celebrity activism operates, and even that is performative and empty in its own right

Megann Mozden

LADIES, wear your sunscreen. that’s a threat and i love you!!

Isabel

OK here's where im coming from as a big taylor swift fan who is upset about the matty healy stuff. All of the ghetto gaggers stuff is extremely upsetting and i think you can talk a lot about societally like why there is porn addiction and how people get pushed towards more extreme types of porn but at the end of the day black women have much higher rates of domestic violence and women of color are constantly sexualized/fetishized and that type of porn contributes to all of that. Like yes, taylor should not be held accountable for matty's actions and there are bigger fish to fry BUT she did have a whole documentary and era where she made her political activism at the forefront of her image. Her lack of support for LGBTQ+ rights and other issues has been especially disappointing when she released a documentary and song coming out as a ~woman with liberal values~. Personally, the matty healy thing is the straw the broke the camel's back and just shows how much of a white feminist she is. I do agree calling matty healy a nazi isn't helpful and more harmful to just throw out a bunch of harsh insults. It's also really annoying to see threads or people defend matty healy by compiling all of the times he has spoken up for XYZ and showing that he is a "leftist". Like you can have woke and liberal politics and beliefs and still make problematic and degrading comments. You can support LGBTQ rights and that doesn't mean when he makes racist jokes that makes it any less hurtful. Like that kind of argument reminds me of when people defend sexual assaulters by listing out all of the good things they've done... you can do good things and still be shitty and awful and that doesn't make you any less likely to have sexually assaulted anyone.

Juliet Deane

okay the restaurant convo is so spot onto my life. i work as a server at a fine dining restaurant in NYC and am currently suffering from insomnia because of work stress. im on a drinking break (finally) but this weekend i closed on saturday night, didnt sleep after work because i was too wired, and then worked a double on sunday. i literally got roofied monday night and still made it into work on tuesday. also i think two seperate coworkers are trying to sleep with me, lol

Emma Royal

my kingdom for the link to that instagram reel

Sara Weingartner

FINALLY a nuanced take on the matty drama thank u binchies

iva

i think if Taylor was a random pop star dating Matty noone would care. I think the problem lies in her constantly portraying herself as a huge feminist, liberal, caring, politically correct person. She very carefully created this image of herself and now is going directly against it - I think that’s way her fans are so upset and I think they have a point?

Carolyn

i would love love love a lana podcast

iva

also saying“stop being mad about matty and go volunteer” while making money off of talking about matty on a podcast is weird? i don’t mean that in a “they’re problematic way” it just seems counterintuitive

gio

this one is a bit too white feminism for me tbh girlies

Isø

I hear you, sorry if I came across as dismissive. I just wouldn’t count Taylor or the Target corporation as necessary public support, I’m very sorry that you felt you needed that to feel safe. America is true capitalist hell. Target stocking pride flags or Taylor holding one is not where the battle for freedom lies. Social media is literally built to distract people with these cyclical discourses that skirt around the real solutions. The fact that you’re unable to control the hellish political landscape is even more reason to try to put your mental well-being first, it isn’t worth begging celebrities to speak up because it won’t make any meaningful difference, they cannot save you. You’re talking about huge societal issues and somehow putting the responsibility/blame on a pop star to address all of the awful things, they can’t and they won’t. Of course you’re allowed to feel your feelings, I was just sharing mine too as someone who is fed up of seeing the same cyclical miserable discourse over years with no meaningful change, just people driving themselves insane. You don’t need the validation of celebrities and corporations to feel safe, if you think you do then you will never know peace, and you should try to find that above all else. Sending love!

Luteal Swan

When I worked in restaurants I got sexually harassed by my managers and coworkers constantly, and there’s no “hr” except the owner but they normally don’t give a fuck, and in one instance the owner was sexually harassing me!!! So there was literally no escape lol. Will never go back to that industry even though the tips were great and I got free food. Not at all worth it

Lucy Johanneman

as someone who’s only two tattoos are dedicated to taylor swift and t1975 i am #very #scared to listen to this

Luteal Swan

Real talk, I think we as a society need to stop putting celebrities on the pedestals that we do. We cannot have these musicians, actors, influencers etc, be the end all be all people to look towards for opinions/ views on political / social justice affairs. I honestly think some of them are too dumb to think that complex about world issues, therefore we shouldn’t take stuff so personally, especially when WE DONT KNOW Them personally. Like I’m not going to look towards Taylor swift as a feminist idol cuz she publicly shares her views which, to me, come off as virtue signaling most of the time anyway. I get that if you have a platform it can be useful to “spread awareness” but there comes a point where it seems like people expect too much from celebrities. Like just let them do their crafts and if we want to see change, let’s do the work as a collective, instead of complaining when someone isn’t the perfect example of social justice and feminism 😅

Hannah

listening to these 2 newest eps while tanning on the beach. this is more healing than therapy

Hannah

“if you’re actually upset about matty and taylor, go volunteer” truer words have never been spoken thank you sm eliza

Hannah

Thanks, unfortunately I could feel all the peace and love in the world and it still wouldn’t make up for people losing human rights and support for those human rights. I know you mean well by that, but it’s dismissive of the material consequences involved

Iffat Aniqa

idk, i think calling matty healy a nazi is pretty silly, but the ghetto gaggers shit is just truly vile. it's actually bizarre to me that people are more outraged by his mediocre performance art than that. I think it was supposed to be a joke (?) but I can't imagine even finding that amusing, like it actually makes my stomach churn to think that some men earnestly beat off to that. So I think its totally reasonable to be frustrated and hurt to find out that so many people (not just Taylor!) are able to look past something like that. and there's a serious discussion to be had here about edgelord white progressive men & white women who make excuses for them. but i also agree that people need to have some perspective- it's not like people who attend the eras tour are now on a dirtbag left radicalization pipeline, you don't need to like burn your merch or anything lol

josie!

as a huge taylor swift fan who was initially shocked and upset about the matty healy news, it’s crazy how little it matters after you just log off lol - I feel like I’ve realized that so much of this outrage exists pretty much exclusively in online spaces and it just really does not affect anyone’s real daily life unless you are on twitter. I understand how easy it is to get upset about taylor (an artist who has made work that means so much to people, myself included) aligning herself with a kind of shitty person, but after taking a step back from it all and getting off twitter for a bit, it has just completely shrunk in importance in my life. This isn’t to say “just ignore things that are happening and they won’t matter!” but more to say that the internet can blow things like this out of proportion. I am interested to read more people’s takes on this outside of the twitter space so I am glad you guys discussed this today

Rach

1000000% i feel every word you're saying!! i spent a lot of money on these tickets but i feel disappointed and uncomfortable over the last month especially. i'm tired of people saying i'm parasocial or ridiculous for having feelings about all of this.

Rach

yes!! and adding onto "the straw that broke the camel's back" the matty stuff all really came out the same weekend as the nashville shows where she also didn't acknowledge the ongoing attacks on queer and trans people in "her state," which a lot of queer fans had hoped she would comment on while there. that hurt as much at the matty stuff did.

Isø

Yes the world is a horrible and scary place. Respectfully, I still don’t see what this has to do with Mz Swift or Target. People are just scared and yelling at the wrong clouds, it’s understandable but nonsensical.

laura rose

CANNOT stop thinking of weightlifting with ROCKS???? love. caveman behavior ooga booga behavior…

Hannah

People need to stop calling it “parasocial” any time someone has a single feeling brought up by a famous person I s2g. Not saying the binchies did this but I keep seeing swifties defending Taylor by calling those of us who are disappointed in her recent choices “parasocial” as if they are not so far up Taylor’s asshole they’d show up on a colonoscopy

Emily

Matty Healy really does all That just to create the most mid music imaginable … Azalea Banks was right about him and that’s all I’ll say on that!!

Franchely

As an almost-30 year old swiftie I never looked to Taylor for any kind of political statement on anything and generally don’t expect that from celebrities in general, although I understand why a younger fan might look to her as a role model. What’s so shocking to me about the Matty Healy situation is the fact that she even began dating him to begin with, considering she has such a carefully constructed public image and seems to want to stay away from any kind of drama because of what happened in 2016. I assumed she or her team do some kind of vetting on people she’s interested in dating and I also assumed her public image would be more important than getting dragged into controversy because of who she’s dating. So it’s just confusing considering her people-pleasing personality.

Gabriella Crespo

feel vindicated that you have, once again, articulated my thoughts beautifully

Tessa

For the wedding gift question; get her a vibrator

Luteal Swan

Just contributing to the convo 1) I do chores in the morning after I wake up, before I check my phone. It gives good dopamine of “completing” something, so like make the bed, put away laundry, put away dishes etc, and 2, I also lift weights at home and there’s really good workouts on Pinterest!

gio

priority will always be to protect and uplift black women and other woc and tbh this just didn’t sit right with me, i don’t care if it seems like a “pointless” argument or like it’s distracting from other causes because multiple things can exist at once, and anything that is detrimental to marginalized women i think IS important and i think it’s a very WHITE take to just be like “go do something that matters” like any form of defending and protecting biwoc doesnt matter?

Julia

healy is an abhorrent edgelord but celebrity culture is rotting our brains fr. we need to stooooop worshipping celebs to the point of looking to them for political takes. like, how shocking! most million/billionaire celebs aren’t the best people! who woulda thought!

Jules

Plz do another suck session ep

Levi Allen

okay on the kitchen abuse… i worked as a cook in a michelin star girlboss kitchen and it was truly the most atrocious work environments i’ve ever been in. the exec chef and owner was a tyrant and sheEO of emotional manipulation and labor abuse. so glad i escaped and now get to work in a gay kitchen 💅godspeed to all the cooks with mommy issues that still work there!!!

Chloe

unfortunately i am a swiftie and gaylor and have seen sooooo many people so upset about the matty healy situation when it is clearly (at least to me, obv do not know anyone involved) a shitty PR stunt to get more publicity for matty. the more people are outraged and quote retweet articles about it, the more attention matty, adam friedland, and now the fucking redscare girls get. he's definitely an asshole and makes jokes steeped in misogyny and racism, but we should def hold back from saying he is as bad as the alt-right

Meredith Floyd

elizaaaa the marjorie taylor green clip at the end SENT me i audibly cackled at work & then tried to hide it so it just sounded like i was choking at my desk💀💀💀

Chloe

here to confirm that the dishwasher DOES change your life. it is so much easier to load the dishes into the dishwasher and turn it on than it is to think about washing them by hand.

Franchely

This is it, she’s built up so much goodwill with the general public over the last few years (which seemed impossible at one point), so it’s bizarre to see her not care at all. I love her music but I’m always flabbergasted at the choices she makes lol

Franchely

Genuine question cause I’m having trouble seeing the PR stunt angle, why would Taylor want Matty to get publicity?

morgan

YES to eliza’s lana podcast

Luteal Swan

Like omg no way rich people are conservative 😅 it’s almost like you can’t get that wealthy without exploiting 😍

Karina

the silliest part of taylor-matty to me is that i can guarantee plenty of swifties have equally (if not more) problematic/misogynistic/edgelord boyfriends

Vanessa Rae

I love you guys and understand the parasocial swifties can be a little bit crazy but saying Taylor is “annoying” about men is a little disappointing when she’s literally just a woman dating like the rest of us… waiting for the day she can be known for what she’s done with her career and for the music industry instead of the media only wanting to focus on her relationships

Shannon Burne

I worked at a local cafe/bakery in Phoenix last summer and the owner/head chef would scream at the workers in the kitchen and it was an insufferable place to work. She was so nice outside of work but a switch would go off as soon as she was in the kitchen. And it’s like…this is not that serious.

josie!

I agreeee, and she’s not even really that annoying about it?? Like, she has not said anything about matty it’s all just media coverage that is being annoying about it

zoë hessian

i think the state of the country right now is just so horrific and so many people are getting their rights stripped away and seeing a cultural idol like taylor swift date someone who has said vile racist things DOES normalize racism and it makes sense that people have feelings about that. i do think matty crossed the line of “edgelord” into “it doesnt matter why he’s saying these things, you dont say these things”

zoë hessian

its so hard to walk the line of wanting to defend woman of color (who matty fuckin hates??) and trying to not feed the fire which is what he wants

maddie

Obsesseddddd w this chatty ep per usual

Vanessa Rae

Like here she is breaking records almost every weekend with her tour and once again… all people can talk about is who she is or is not dating

baby.yogurt

A small heads up about Eliza’s BB Cream with spf, typically with makeup that has spf in it you’d have to use about a tablespoon for ur whole face in order to get full sun protection bc the spf is just not that concentrated. I don’t think BB cream/foundation with spf is meant to be used as ur sole source of sun protection, in case any fellow sensitive skin binchies wanted to know!

Miranda Berube

Also I went to a 1975 concent and it was absolutely amazing. Real performance and touched on some really great topics. His music has always been about questioning society, politics, etc. It was nice to see it come alive almost like a play

ckm

Imma be honest, when I first saw this episode title, I thought it was a deep dive history lesson on heely shoes 😭😭

Morgan Tait

queens i must know if there is a chit chat aboht the succession finale coming soon🥲 need ur thoughts

kat

on board with like 96% of what y’all said but tbh the “annoying abt guys” thing wasn’t my fav … perhaps it’s bc i was going to war for that woman when i was in 6th grade and everyone was calling her a serial-dater, but i still hate when conversations abt her general persona/flaws always get reduced to her relationships w men !!!

avvsies

Any more fellow olds in the chat who still don’t know who the fuck Matty Healy is

Grace Tyson

ugh yay i’m happy you guys finally addressed healy swift gate, i think this is a huge lesson in glamorizing performers and realizing that if you’re one of the richest performers in the world and selling our the biggest venues, you probably just aren’t gonna be the best person by virtue of the circumstances and capitalism (thinking about ms. swifts private jet rides…. people conveniently forget) i really love both their music but i never look to them for political guidance or anything, there are thousands of more educated and grassroots organizers on the internet to listen to

Hannah B

Joking about watching porn that degrades black women…I’d hardly call that poignant

Hannah Abram

yes Eliza make the serialized Lana pod!!!!!!!

Petrea James

PLEASE DO THA LANA POD I DIEEEEEE

Chloe

that’s a good question, and i don’t know, but if she wanted to hide it, i don’t think she would do PR walks with him

Katrina Myquyen Le

I have been a huge fan of the podcast, but I also have to disagree with the take on the Matty Healy situation. I get where the take is coming from as I believe there is a lot of political peacocking on social media. However, it is a different situation when you are part of a group that some of his comments actually target. Telling folks to go volunteer if they actually care unintentionally takes away and coopts the hurt that BIPOC folks feel by the racist comments Matty Healy has made. As a queer Asian woman who grew up in Utah, yes, there are plenty of people in real life who, like Matty Healy, can mock eyes and accents. It isn't a parasocial thing, rather, a genuine upset at someone who has made derrogatory comments that are upsetting. I am just as upset at Matty Healy mocking Asian folks like me just as I have been with strangers or acquaintances who have done the same. I just expect everyone to do better and be better. Sure, I have been to a 1975 concert and have been a casual fan of their music, but listening to their music knowing Matty Healy has mocked people who look like me makes me uncomfy and upset because it always has, whether that person is a celebrity or not. I am also upset if folks are seemingly complicit to that behaviour, Taylor Swift or not. I'm not even touching on his comments on GG Porn and can't imagine how black femme Swifties feel. I know all is meant well and there are good intentions with the comments in this episode, just wanted to offer some perspective.

Chloe

like yes, they could for real be dating, but there is a huge publicity element that’s a part of it. there wouldn’t be so many articles and pap walks if their teams didn’t want publicity imo.

Jordan

this AND Taylor is more than complicit here. It’s one thing to “be the company you keep” in your personal life, but to be in the studio working on music with him is a whole other level of ick. She’s the biggest female pop star in the world publicly giving him a platform and financial support despite the outright vile information that has surfaced recently. I can’t even grasp how disconcerting that would be as a black femme listener ESPECIALLY when miss swift has directly capitalized off queer/ minority platitudes in the past

Sabrina Satterthwaite

I’m involved in the swifttok community a fair amount & it’s been interesting to watch everything unfolding with Matty Healy. Aside from the parasocial element to peoples reactions & the genuine frustration with people like MH, I think lots of the reaction has to do with what Taylor represents to people. Lots of people view her as like “one of the good ones” and an exception among other famous and/or rich people since she has a reputation for being kind & giving. So in lots of ways, people are also reacting to having their belief system shattered since them dating undermines their desperate hope that there’s any good people at the top of otherwise corrupt systems like fame, money, etc.

Stina Olsson

What I’m gathering from the comment section is that Matty Healy seems to have actually said some really disturbing things about black women. But what I’m also gathering, is that people actually seem to hold Taylor accountable for this, instead of Matty himself. Sometimes it seems that people use the term white feminist as a way to rationalize this sexist impulse of always punishing women for mens actions. When a man seems untouchable, redirecting the anger and blame to the women in his life seems to be a reoccuring pattern.

iva

I think it isn’t that people are criticising Taylor for his behaviour, but rather questioning her want to be friends/dating someone with beliefs like his

Stina Olsson

Okay, I understand. I do question whether that is actually an effective way to spark major change in the world, but I also get that in this situation, maybe it’s more about the specific relationship people have with her as fans.

iva

Yeah, I don’t think it is effective and you are right, Taylor did create a feminist/liberal/compassionate persona for herself, like big sister, as J&E said. I think that’s why people are upset.

Julia Wolfe

Getting absolute whiplash at the comments here because i see a lot of critiques that matty healy has done “net good for people of color” and others saying he has been racist and made incredibly out of pocket jokes. as a non swiftie, none of this exactly effects me but I am incredibly confused on what is even true at this point

✨

I do understand why people feel dinged by this, I really do, I am also a feminist lol. But she IS annoying about guys I'm sorry. And I was so relieved to hear people be allowed to say that again lmao. I also think Pete Davidson is annoying about women if that helps

✨

I only say "relieved" because for a while u literally could not speak a word against Taylor swift (literally a white millionaire with no strong morals) without being called anti-feminist and this was exhausting. Her content is SHOVED down my throat to the point where I legit dont think disengaging from her is even a real option.

Sarah

My thing with the Problematty controversy is I don’t understand why people are so shocked that Taylor would be this way. As you all said, nothing about her has ever been particularly political or helpful. She pretty much never uses her privilege in a positive way. She waited until the last possible second to talk about voting in the 2018 midterms - imagine if she had spoken up in 2016?!? I laughed so hard when you guys made fun of that video of her standing up to her dad because as someone with a conservative dad, yeah welcome to my life every time I visit my parents?!? It isn’t brave to have more money than you could ever know what to do with and to finally speak up about this shit political system we live in and risk alienating some of your conservative fans. She does the absolute least at any given moment. She is clearly a troubled person with a million self esteem issues who cares way more about being liked and getting attention than doing the right thing - and this is all by her own admission. All that to say, be mad if you want, the little I know about Matty he seems to suck, but the shock is what gets me. Your girl is very self absorbed and is not an amazing person! For whatever it is worth I say all this as someone who went to eras because a friend asked me to, and had a great time despite it not being something I would have sought out on my own. Not many other places where you can be around 60k people all in an amazing mood and having a great time. Would I spend money on her again after all this? Probably not but I also can’t pretend to be shocked this is happening, she has repeatedly told us and shown us who she is.

Re: weightlifting, I have been working out for years but saw progress so much faster when I started doing a structured program! I really like Nia Shanks, a lot of her programs are full body 3 times a week which is nice for busy girlies or those who want to do other forms of exercise. The workouts are really efficient too and I’m usually in and out in 30-45 minutes. https://niashanks.com/start/ (not sponsored queen nia just changed my life and I’m sharing the gospel)

Jo

For my future grad school girlies, highly recommend a phd track where you can master out if needed! Not all phd programs allow this and then you just like spend two or three years in school w no degree🙃

Mira

I don't understand why ppl are so surprised about Taylor LOL is this something that's really out of character for her??? bc it doesn't feel so to me. but also I think even if it seems "pointless" to you, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to handwave smth like this because dudes casually being racist bank on the fact that people don't consider it extreme enough to comment on.

Mira

I don't think it's parasocial to not like someone making racist comments or someone who dates them while knowing they've made these comments. It kind of feels like the moment you say ANYTHING about a public figure people can just call it parasocial and ignore whatever you're saying

Carly Richardson

For context’s sake people see it as out of character because of the documentary she produced and released about herself in 2020 about essentially coming out as an outspoken democrat. There are many quotes from her own mouth in that documentary about having to stand up and fight for people who cannot do that themselves, particularly about queer and poc people. So to the people who follow her pretty closely, it’s by definition out of character (whether or not the character we see is real, is beside the point) Taylor regularly centers herself as an outspoken, fiery, activist and now that it matters she’s gone silent. The problem is she went out of her way to set an expectation of herself to her fans and then never followed through. I don’t think it’s shocking people got upset and feel confused by that.

Emily nagle

Y’all always say the unpopular opinions that I’m afraid to say and it makes me feel sane again after tiktok makes me think I’m crazy

M

Periodddd, Max! During covid I would lift rocks in my aunt’s backyard and I would carry around 25lbs dumbbell’s and bands

avvsies

I want to offer perspective for Julia and Eliza’s take on “go volunteer if you’re upset”. It may seem dismissive of how “serious” Matty’s comments are, but to be realistic, there’s nothing we can do to undo a celebrity’s statements. There’s nothing that our outrage and emotional energy will do to change anything *unless* we turn it into *action* that will *tangibly help* someone right now. People need to eat, right now. People need socks and blankets and water, right. now. People need bail money, right now. Do racist comments contribute to tangible suffering? Obviously. I’m Jewish, I understand that fully. But being upset over a celebrity doesn’t help anybody and it doesn’t help yourself. I work in the nonprofit sector. When I first started, I was immediately upset at all the issues that I found from my work that aren’t popular in the media. I couldn’t believe how bad things actually were. BUT — waking up every weekday to work on those issues that mean a lot to me have given me a sense of empowerment that I’m using my emotions about that topic to tangibly help. Sitting around being upset wishing things were different or lecturing people on why xyz celebrity is problematic doesn’t change things. Your neighbor who’s hurting from hunger or medical debt probably doesn’t know who Matty Healy is. Just my two cents, don’t cancel me y’all ✌🏻

Camila Santos

enough about matty - MORE LANA DEL REY PODCAST FROM ELIZA

Beya

hiiiiii will u guys do a deep dive episode on wendy williams??feel like it could be fascinating

Katrina Myquyen Le

Yes! Taylor seems to have capitalized off of historically excluded communities while holding seemingly harmful views on the same communities in her personal life. Again, this is not surprising at all and is to be expected of any rich celebrity, but it is still upsetting and there should be accountability. Something that I also wanted to point out as I was thinking about this episode is that the take in the episode may actually be more focused on calling out the white liberal Swifties who are suddenly surprised and upset by the racist remarks and act like it's their own upset when it doesn't impact them directly. And as a BIPOC person, this type of white liberalism does bother me and is annoying as all hell (is a whole other conversation for sure). However, centering the conversation on white liberals, again, ignores the fact that there are people of color that are upset at Matty Healy/Taylor Swift situation that the racist remarks are directed at. I can imagine that from a white person’s perspective, it can seem parasocial because again, as a white person, you’re not targeted by the racist remarks. I can understand where the take is coming from because ultimately, it is a take from two white women. Julia and Eliza are just sharing their thoughts and opinions and I don’t necessarily think it’s their responsibility to educate or center BIPOC folks that are directly impacted, but I think it is fair to critique that there's a lack of acknowledgment of the degree of separation that they have from the remarks. Lana dating a cop didn’t really impact anyone directly as far as I know, fair, it's parasocial. If you are a white person, Matty Healy who has a platform making racist remarks and watching degrading race-play porn that brutalizes black women also doesn’t impact you directly, hence, it’s also a parasocial issue to white folks in particular. However, if you’re a person of color, the same remarks have the capacity to personally impact you and hurt you. And something that might be hard to hear for white folks and may just be a personal take, but listening to the episode and hearing white leftists critiquing the response to the whole situation by centering the argument on white liberals, it came off to me as white people trying to distance themselves from their own whiteness? I don’t think that was the intention, but that is just how I perceived it and it rubbed me the wrong way? Again, I do agree with the critique towards white liberals in the situation peacocking their “wokeness” and there is every right to critique that, but it is just something I see a lot of white leftists do where they make arguments as if they’re not also white and distance themselves from whiteness. Just wanted to offer some more perspective and I think it’s good that a conversation like this seems to be happening!

Regarding the weightlifting convo, what I learned is that doing reps until failure doesn’t actually make a difference in muscle gain, and I personally appreciated finding this out bc I feel like it rly takes the pressure off

baby.yogurt

u are living my dream, I wish so badly that I'd been born in sweden or something because the US is simply an endless nightmare. I would so rather be able to laugh at the absurdity of it from afar than actually have to live in it

Bella

on weightlifting: Sydney Cummings channel on YouTube is the best!! She has such a positive energy, is focused on being strong and her workouts are challenging but approachable (she does every exercise with you and speaks to you every part of the way). Also has super comprehensive programs and is just overall amazing. I’ve been doing her stuff since quarantine 2020 and she’s definitely made me so much stronger :)

Hannah

Agree w this so much! What I Will Say podcast brought up an excellent point on their Patreon abt Matty essentially reducing the backlash to performative virtue signaling. It kind of seems like when he speaks up about gay rights or misogyny it IS virtue signaling (same can be said for Taylor tbh) so he is projecting that on the response to him. When it’s like, no, actually, I felt nauseous for days after finding out about GG and can only imagine what it’s been like for Black fans

baby.yogurt

Ashley Norton just made a deep dive youtube vid on the origins of Heelys! it's rly good I highly recommend <3

baby.yogurt

I mean I think it's ok to call someone annoying while also realizing that annoying isn't the worst thing to be. like women are allowed to be annoying and other women are allowed to be annoyed as far as I see it

Caroline Collins

I had Matty Healy confused with Matty B Raps for like 10 min

Katrina Myquyen Le

I do agree that it is empowering to actually volunteer. I have found that it's great to direct that energy into tangible action and have found a lot of joy in volunteering within my own community. But echoing some other comments, I do think that both things can exist: you can volunteer and still be upset by the comments. In addition, I think the discussion that is being had is important because hopefully, by having this conversation, people leave with more nuanced takes. Sure, the work isn't complete without tangible action, but being upset and having a discussion about it isn't nothing and it's not just to say that *insert celebrity name* is problematic. A lot can be learned from a conversation like this.

avvsies

Of course you can be upset, but the point is stewing in upset-ness isn’t helpful and at some point to save your own sanity you need to decide to let it go or choose action

miah

feels wild that people expect taylor to be a beacon of feminism and equality as if she’s ever bothered to do more than the bare minimum as our democracy literally crumbles in the US lmao. her brand of feminism has never been intersectional, so why are we surprised?

Katrina Myquyen Le

Totally get that for sure! The point for me was that being upset and having a discussion about it, even if it starts off surface level on a social media platform is part of taking some tangible action, even if it's not as direct as going to a soup kitchen, building harm reduction kits, etc. Education is a huge part of creating tangible change. Sure, there have been folks who have been stewing in upset and turned that into memeifying the whole situation, which isn't productive at all, but I do believe at least some folks who are upset are talking about it in a productive manner.

Sarah

Appreciated the discussion about cleaning because this is an area I suck at and I do often feel ashamed to have people over. I’ve always had a lot of clutter but I always described it as messy not dirty. But the past few years dealing with depression it definitely piles up more than it used to. Still nothing bad for my physical health but definitely not as not-dirty as it was pre depression. Lately I’ve been playing a little game I call race against the clock where I take an edible and clean as much as possible before it hits which for me is usually 30-60 minutes, honestly a perfect amount of time to knock some cleaning tasks out. Have to say it is working well for me. 10/10 do recommend to people who partake in edibles.

Sarah

Fellow nonprofit binchie here and have to agree. My job depresses me at times because the issues are soooo systemic and purposely created in our capitalist hellscape but the only way to fix systemic issues is to chip away at them and get more people involved. Being mad about stuff like this is understandable and I get it does contribute to needless hate and empowers shitheads in our society but ultimately focusing too much energy on dumbasses like this takes away energy you could be using to actually make change

Have yet to listen but am reading the comments about weightlifting & feel the need to share the gospel of Meg Squats’ program Stronger by the Day, it changed my life & my relationship to exercise 4 realllll. Fun programming & huge strength gains. AND the app is amazing & tells you exactly how much to lift based on your own capabilities, auto adjusting for when you get stronger or have an off day. Seriously the best lifting program I’ve found

i was listening with my bf and when he heard redacted voice he said “he talks just like the binchies, he sounds so drunk but so sober at the same time”

Ashlrh

I like the pod but hearing “they’re are more important things we can be talking about, go volunteer” from a pop culture/pop culture adjacent podcast feels very condescending. I figured u two more than anyone would know that you can talk about issue surrounding pop culture and also volunteer and take action towards meaning political change.

urmi bhatt

i agree with this i love julia and eliza but lmaoo you can pretty much say “there are more important things we can be talking about” to most of their podcast as it’s a pop culture podcast lol

marrisey

i disagree a bit with y’all’s take on matty healy just being an “edgelord” with no tangible consequences. we’ve seen how similar edgelords played a huge part in the radicalization of (mainly cishet & white) teenagers & young adults. those “jokes” played a larger part in the political landscape we’re in today. while healy’s audience is not the same demographic, i think minimizing his behavior is weird and white of y’all. he has directly profited from his actions & opinions (during 2020, his only response towards the murder of george floyd & blm was to promo his song, the 2016 pulse night club shooting something similar happened). this doesn’t even get into all the racist shit he’s said. we can also focus on more than one thing at a time. as a podcast that discusses pop culture heavily, it’s weird to see yall say there’s more important things to be worried about bc why bring it up then? you’re making money off of telling others to focus on more important things. sure, people need to take material actions but discussing public figures’ complicity in bigotry/being bigoted does aid in the long term (to ME).

Elizaveta Konstantinova

I've been getting into strong(wo)man lately which is a slay girlboss queen sport and makes me feel so strong,,, Max lifting the heaviest rocks he could find during quarantine is so strongman core you don't understanddd!!!!

Erin

I was also gonna say I don't think edgelords are not dangerous like even iDubbz, famous (hopefully recovering) edgelord, recently apologised for creating a a monster in reference to his horrible fanbase and I don't think he even said anything as explicitly racist as Healy. Also Healy is not a comedian and not funny and his little satirical performances before his show seem to be purely for shock factor and not actually making any decent point.

Erin

Nah but the laundry has to be done much more often than taking the bins out like once a week and putting the trash bag in the outside bin takes like two mins but hanging laundry out and folding it and putting it away takes longer. Unless you put everything in a dryer I guess. I hate how laundry is for girls and the trash is for guys???

brigid

fam the bass is so loud in the outro music. who mixed that shit

Luiza

I just need the girlies making video essays on tswift and matty Healy to first go ahead and check their father’s/bf’s voting records

em

i would fold the entire marshalls inventory if it meant i never got trash juice on my foot again tbh

Naila Speaks-LaBrie (NY-EE-LA)

Girl nobody is looking to them to guide their political views. Black girls are allowed to be annoyed at Mathew Healy continuously making derogatory remarks about black women. At the same time it’s nothing new to us lol I think y’all are thinking a few pissed off tweets are deeper then they actually are.

Naila Speaks-LaBrie (NY-EE-LA)

God this is such a good comment. I agree with everything you said and I pinpointed exactly why this type of discussion annoys me so much. It’s like because they’re leftist they think they’re seperate from the “bad whites”

Naila Speaks-LaBrie (NY-EE-LA)

Yeah it doesn’t have to be. Me and my bf split chore’s equally. He does the kitchen/office/trash cause I hate those chores. I do the bathroom/bedroom/living room. We do our own laundry.

Erin

I mean .. you can't control your father's voting records but you can control who you make your boyfriend

Erin

Yeah like everyone do their own laundry? Cos it's your personal things like your underwear. Only underwear I will be washing is my dependents and my boyf should not be one of those lol

Naila Speaks-LaBrie (NY-EE-LA)

Hahahaha exactly but everyone splits things up differently! I’m just definitely in the everybody does their own laundry crew. I’m not washing my man’s draws

oh my godddd i have never had a male manager who didn’t lose his mind over actually the lowest stake situations ever. like it’s upsetting when things go wrong but also men do not know how to deal with frustration. king if u make a mistake just try to fix it like why are u screaming and crying in the kitchen surrounded by a bunch of 17 year olds

Steph ?

Honestly go read a synopses of the “ghetto gaggers” Matty has publicly admitted to watching and tell me Taylor is blameless for associating herself with someone that consumes and promotes such vile/racist/violent content. Literally some of the most racist and violent and degrading pornography that is out there. Really disappointed in the complacent white feminist “live and let live” of this comment section. Celebrities aren’t glowing beacons of morality but they are also public media figures that are not without reproach. They have enormous platforms and what is condoned becomes commonplace. Its that simple.

Katie

Omfg please do LDR podcast, NEED an an episode for each of her songs

sunset lollypops

Y'all are saying that we should prioritse more meaningfull activism and basically stop virtue signaling but thats completely unrealistic commentary on MUSIC, the one thing in the background of our lives 24/7 like bitches have taylor swift crying in their ear more than the birds chirping or their heavy breathing. You cant seperate this aspect of pop-culture from your world, or the power TS holds over millions of fans. So appropriate to be a little carried away if one aspect of your daily life feels like its clashing with your morals (ghetto gaggers🤢)

this is such a weird way to deflect from the actual thing ppl are upset about lmao

no matter how sincere and non performative it is, twitter discourse is not changing hearts and minds on any significant level. beefing with strangers online is a great way to get out our feelings but its not important work or activism

Old psych major now social work major here, most ppl don’t know but social workers can get a license to be a therapist as well!! It’s less school & does pay less but not always. If you’re a psych major not wanting to take dumb science courses & have an interest in social justice as well, I would really recommend looking into social work!! It’s been great for me with easy classes, most programs have a 1 year masters program, & some companies will pay you to get your degree 💗
