14. When Tom Brady Met Bridget Moynahan *TEASER* Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

As New England Patriots fans, we know too well what it’s like to be broken up with by Tom Brady as he flaunts his new relationship so publicly. But imagine that heartbreak on top of being pregnant with his child! Actress Bridget Moynahan may have played the new, young girlfriend (Natasha) whom Mr. Big moved on with (Sex & The City), but in real life, she was Brady’s most notable girlfriend before he moved on with Gisele Bündchen. We look back at their relationship, the shocking pregnancy, and how the co-parents’ relationship has evolved through the years.

13. When Taylor Swift Met Jake Gyllenhaal Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

In the spirit of maple latte season and plaid shirt days, we’re getting lost in the whirlwind romance between Taylor Swift & Jake Gyllenhaal. We review songs supposedly written about Jake (“All Too Well,” “State of Grace,” “I Bet You Think About Me”) to piece together a timeline that might be longer than appears. Plus, John Mayer somehow comes up a lot.

Before the Brad/Jennifer/Angelina love triangle…Before “consciously uncoupling” and Goop…Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow were the it-couple of the mid-‘90s.

We’ll probably never cover a couple younger than Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas. After falling in love at just 13, the famous teens had a relationship that spans further than we ever expected.

We revisit the love triangle/feud with Selena Gomez, the classic “7 Things” music video, and imagine what it must have been like to first experience heartbreak on a world stage.

9. When Vanessa Hudgens Met Zac Efron Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

We’re soaring and flying back to 2007 to revisit the prom king and queen of Disney Channel—Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron. The High School Musical sweethearts “Zanessa” had tweens everywhere in a chokehold, but beyond Tiger Beat and Bop Magazine, who were they?

Mel details their entire 5 year relationship as we wonder…was it PR? Why did Nikki Blonksy say she wouldn’t bet on them?! What the hell was up with Ashley Tisdale?!?

7. When Prince Charles Met Camilla Parker Bowles Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

In an unexpected coincidence, we recorded this episode only days before Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and Charles becoming the new King of England.

But long before Charles became king, and before he met Princess Diana, Charles met Camilla Rosemary Shand. And she captured his heart for the rest of his life.

Why didn’t Charles marry Camilla in the first place? Why didn’t he feel for his wife Diana—beautiful and adored by all—as he did for Camilla? In trying to answer those questions, Kel became obsessed with these controversial royals. We hope you enjoy. ♡

Books used: "Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life" by Sally Bedell Smith; "Charles and Camilla: Portrait of a Love Affair" by Gyles Brandreth.

6. When John Mulaney Met Anna Marie Tendler *TEASER* Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

This is a teaser for our bonus episode about John Mulaney & Anna Marie Tendler, available on Patreon!

John Mulaney's adoration for his wife, artist Anna Marie Tendler, was a frequent segment in his comedy specials, making their separation in 2021 a shock to fans. More shocking was John's suspiciously sudden pregnancy with Olivia Munn, prompting disappointed fans to turn on the comedian and "pick Anna in the divorce."

Meanwhile, other fans have been critical of the "parasocial fixation" on their relationship when we "don't know the full story." While we'll never know all the facts, Mel breaks down their public relationship timeline to piece together what happened. We also analyze Anna's heartbreaking photography ("Rooms in the First House") and theorize why this breakup may connect to others.
