Brad and Angie Divorce, Hamilton, Tuesday Trends Sep 20, 2016

Show notes

On today's Satellite Sisters, we handle the breaking news of the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce. Liz has a history with Brad Pitt. She has actually slept with Brad Pitt. It's true. Details on today's podcast. Is this a #liznessnotbizness sign from the universe that Brad is in Liz's future? She also asks Julie for a little dream interpretation. Liz had a dream involving LLCoolJ and auto bodies. What does it all mean? If you have thoughts, please post on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. While on a few days vacation in NYC last week, Liz did a Hamilton/Spamilton double. She saw both the Broadway superhit and a spoof of the Broadway superhit on the very same day. Yup. She's a hard core #Hamilfan. Both were fantastic! We recommend! Julie has several trends for Tuesday Trends today. First about CEO of Lyft says they are going to all self-driving cars within five years. Second trend is about how people no longer want to sit at restaurants. Julie's third trend is a new sport called Forest Bathing. Whaaaa? Next, how do you feel about electronic implants instead of house keys or car keys? Whose bright idea was that? Liz awards the Satellite Sisters of Week to the Brownlee brothers Jonny and Alistair. They are both international triathletes and Olympic medalists but their performance at a race in Cozumel was the best. When brother Alistair lost his mojo and became confused near the finish, Jonny literally picked him up and pushed him over the finish line. That's heart. Love these sibling stories. As long as we are talking about brotherhood, we heartily recommend the new Beatles documentary 8 Days A Week: The Touring Years. Liz saw it at a packed Monday afternoon matinee. The documentary includes interviews with Paul and Ringo plus Elvis Costello, Whoopi Goldberg and Malcolm Gladwell. In the theatre, you get a bonus 30 minute digitally remastered film of their famous Shea Stadium concert. If you want to watch at home instead, you'll find it on Hulu. For the start of the TV season, Julie recommends a process for how to decide what to watch. Liz repeats her recommendation that PITCH debuting on Thursday night on FOX is definitely worth checking out. Finally, we announce the launch of our new Satellite Sisters season next week. It's season 16, people. Can you believe it?? Starting next Tuesday, Liz, Julie and Lian will be on every Tuesday. Lian and Julie will also do their TV recaps for Poldark starting with Sunday Sept 25 Secretary and Madam Secretary starting October 2, 2016. Monica and Sheila both of have other professional and personal commitments so they will not be on any of the news shows but you can continue to hear them on our New To You shows that will continue to be released on the weekends.
