Mon, 11 Aug 2025 22:50:48 GMT

In which we discuss Nashville'e Tomato Arts Festival, the far-right girlie influencer drama that has taken the internet by absolute storm (if you're listening with kids skip 18:37-24:48), Phoebe Gates's perhaps misguided strategy as a brand founder, "Tinder Leave" policies becoming common practice in workplaces in Asia, and a French policy (the viager system) that allows one to purchase real estate through installments paid to an elderly person still living in the home. In tennis was celebrate the amazing win of Canadian Victoria Mboko in Montreal at just 18 years old and the first Masters 1000 win for Ben Shelton in Toronto.

In tennis, we check in on the semifinals in both Toronto and Montreal while also noting that Djokovic has decided to withdraw from Cincinnati. In F1, we have begun silly season (AKA the official summer break when the rumors flow) and Lewis Hamilton made an announcement that he would be making an announcement on 8/8.

In which we discuss the fabulous news that Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are "officially" dating and the farcical news that Katy Perry and former Canadian PM Just Trudeau were spotted having dinner together in Montreal. We review the (near) final entrants list for the US Open’s Mixed Doubles Tournament (which we will be attending) and theorize about the two teams that have yet to be announced. For the US vs UK topic of the week we tackle a listener submission: tipping culture and how that impacts dining out in America vs Europe/the UK.

We discuss the second half of Netflix's America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and use our enthusiasm for the subject to fuel our US vs UK topic of the week.

In content we encourage everyone to watch the Gilded Age on HBO which came back for season 3 this week. We will be covering it week to week! We end on the mid-recording news that Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to director the next James Bond film.

On the sports front we react to the most recent "10 Hottest Men in Professional Tennis" poll and we cover both the women's and men's finals at Roland Garros including Sabalenka's disappointing remarks in the post-match presser and one of the best matches we've seen in our lifetime: the besting of Jannik Sinner in a 5-set tiebreaker by Carlos Alcaraz. On the content front, Sumner has finally watched One of Them Days starring Keke Palmer and SZA (now available on Netflix) and shares why it was the perfect film for her to watch this weekend. Alexa provides her long-awaited initial review of Mobland (Paramount+), and we end with a surprising recommendation: Bravo/Peacock's Love Hotel.

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 21:52:26 GMT

In which we discuss Sumner's grumpy week as well as our reactions to the casting of Harry, Ron, and Hermione for the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series. A good chunk of time is spent on our thoughts on a recent viral moment from Dear Media's Him & Her podcast in which the host proclaims that women should be publicly sharing how easy it is to get pregnant. This leads to a discussion of other problematic moments from the Him & Her Archives as well as a warning about the not-so-quiet political agenda that pervades throughout their content. In our last piece of news, we applaud Kylie Jenner's candor in sharing plastic surgery details in the comments of a TikTok. We take the week off from discussing F1 since they are taking the week off from racing. In the tennis world we discuss both the women's and men's quarterfinal matches and revisit the recurring discussion around the lack of women's tennis in the primetime schedule at Roland Garros. For the US vs UK topic of the week Alexa educates the Americans on the sport of netball. We wrap up with first thoughts around Love Island USA S7 E1.

While discussing sports we majorly branch out to cover the NBA eastern conference finals since we have Alexa as a game 5 courtside correspondent. We bounce quickly over to Barcelona to discuss the last stop in F1's triple-header and the long-awaited dust-up between Max and George. From there we head to Roland Garros to cover some amazing tennis that is happening at the French Open (Paul! Taifoe! Svitolina! Alcaraz!) and we share the results of our US vs Commonwealth All-Time Tennis Hotties poll. In content we cover what the finally-for-real-this-time finale of S1 of Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple TV+.

For our US vs. UK topic of the week we draft American and Commonwealth all-time hotties of tennis. Head to @tomatotomato.pod on instagram to vote for the better team!

Now that Roland Garros is finally underway we have much to discuss in the world of tennis: our reactions to the draw and some early round 1 surprises, a disagreement over Jannik Sinner's Nike kit, and total agreement over Jack Draper's current haircut and practice kit. We recap F1's visit to Monaco, discuss the drivers' boredom, and the looming presence of Lando's rumored girlfriend. On the content front we cover S1E8 of Your Friends and Neighbors (we both thought it was the finale) and Sumner recommends The Talent by Daniel D'Addario. We wrap up with an auto-themed edition of US to UK world translator and an unexpected conversation about what we would each do if/when faced with an apocalypse.

Technological Improvements, Odd Muse Drama, The People's Princess Harry Styles, Cannes Check-In, F1 and the Lore Around Monaco, US vs UK Topic of the Week: JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and Some Articles of Note

Thu, 22 May 2025 21:54:48 GMT

In which we discuss the absolutely HUGE news that Sumner has a computer and therefore a mic, the viral online drama surrounding UK brand Odd Muse, Harry Styles with more charming behavior, and a cursory check-in with Cannes. In the tennis world there isn't much to discuss but Alexa covers F1 including the lore around the Monaco GP and why we are rooting for Charles Leclerc more than ever. We go really off script for the US vs UK topic of the week so that Sumner can monologue about something that's been weighing on her: the rumored romance between BBUK colleagues, JoJo Siwa (Dance Moms et al.) and Chris Hughes (Love Island UK S3). This counts because it is a transatlantic topic. In the content realm we cover why season 2 of Secret Housewives of Mormon Wives on Hulu may be better than season 1 plus Sumner shares two interesting articles that she read this weekend:

'We've Got a F--king Spy in This Place': Inside America's Greatest Espionage Mystery by Derek Owen and R.M. Schneiderman for Politico (if you like this article I recommend the book The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre)
