Pop Culture Catch-Up w/ Jess Lucero: The World Cup, Love Island, Cannes Lions, Dua Lipa, Summer House & more…
The Reality Of RealityShow Notes
My favorite pop culture expert, Jess Lucero (@JessTheReporter), is here and catching me up on everything I need to know! From Drake's beef with "Janice" and Dua Lipa and Callum Turners love story to what it was like interviewing Mr. Fantasy, Jess breaks down all the big moments we need to know about.
Fresh off a trip to Cannes Lions, Jess answers the question we've all been asking: What even is Cannes Lions? She also gives me the ultimate World Cup crash course, sharing everything the girlies need to know—including the inspiring story of Cape Verde's goalkeeper, Vozinha, and why she's such a big fan of Norway's Erling Haaland.
And because this is a reality TV podcast, we couldn't leave without diving into Love Island USA. We gush over "Brinity," discuss the damage control happening at Gal's Surf Shop, and debate whether the show should cast older Islanders. Plus, we break down the rumored Summer House Season 11 cast, discuss what the future golds for Amanda and West, and questions why Alix Earle has been living in the Summer House recently?
If you love pop culture, reality TV, and a little bit of everything in between, tune in now!
