In this bonus episode, Mya and K are catching up and giving their unfiltered hot takes on all things pop culture. First up: Love Island —  can production please show more depth? These women have real substance, and it’s time their voices, stories, and intellect were shown just as much as their bikinis. Where is the authenticity in these relationships? Who are Mya and K’s favorites, and who’s just there to play the game? 


Mya and K  dive into the internet’s reactions to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Man’s Best Friend” and Sydney Sweeney’s Squatch Soap and spoiler alert: these women are not “setting feminism back.” If anything, they’re flipping the script, profiting off a system that already sexualizes them. From satirical music videos to reclaiming their power, Sabrina and Sydney are giving Gen Z its own Britney and Kate Upton moment — and we’re here for it.


And yes… we had to talk about Bonnie Blue’s “Petting Zoo.” Everyone’s quick to shame her, but what about the thousands of men signing up for it? Let’s stop tearing down women for playing the game and start calling out the system that created it.


Stop blaming successful women — blame the patriarchy.
