• Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s latest paparazzi snaps - what's really going on?

In this episode’s Today I Learned, Keisha exposes Chantal to TikTok’s auramaxxing, and Chantal talks kangaroos (and it’s not about Olympics’ Breaker Raygun…yet). [4:00]

Next, in Pop & Gen, the sisters aren’t afraid to be bold and go shallow as they gush over the beauty of Olympic athletes. They also delve into Kevin Hart and Keenan’s highlights show, pole vaulters thwarted by their appendages, the Jordan Chiles medal decision, and yes, bunny-hopping break dancers. In non-Olympics news, they react to a head-shaking Forbes article on Gen-Z slang and Chappell Roan’s tie to the Harris-Walz campaign. [12:27]

Then in Storytime, Chantal shares her own Olympic fail. [31:05]

After that, in On Our Screens, there are throwback sitcoms, a new dog documentary, and a discussion about Ava Duvernay’s outstanding film, ‘Origin.’ [36:55]

Finally, in Through Our Earbuds, the sisters have a whole new batch of suggested bops for you like the chopped & screwed version of a recent release. [46:46]
