Bentley is joined by Elyse Breeze, Katie Daugherty and Cory McCants for a summer scroll through pop culture’s latest curiosities. First, the crew digs into “National Days”—from Pet Photo Day to Simplicity Day—and asks: Do we need a reminder to “Cheer Up the Lonely” or are we just craving small moments of joy in an increasingly overwhelming world? Then it’s on to reality TV. Whether it’s “Big Brother,” “Love Island” or “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” they explore why these shows are more than just guilty pleasures. Finally, they flip the script with page-to-screen adaptations. Are some books better left unadapted? Which shows actually inspired us to read the book? And can Jennifer Aniston take on the emotional complexity of Jennette McCurdy’s “I’m Glad My Mom Died”? This episode covers the rituals we cling to, the reality shows we can’t quit and the stories we love to see come to life.
