  • Ep 72 Pop Culture Queen: Worthless Fathers and Bad Feminists
    Mar 25 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's pop culture queen of the month where we feature an iconic woman owning the spotlight and crown her queen! But first we're yapping about potty training, women's history month, and our 6 degrees of separation from a new RHONY housewife. Then we need to talk about Scott Galloway's latest remarks on paternity leave and the role of fathers in an newborn's life. We're sharing our thoughts on Scott's original remarks in an interview he conducted on his podcast with Derek Thompson and his response to the backlash. Next, we're crowning Margaret Atwood as this month's PCQ and Hollis is leading the discussion on her background, career as an author, poet, and feminist figure, and controversies surrounding a incident involving SA allegations against one of her former colleagues (Trigger Warning there is light discussion around the SA allegations with very little to no detail). She is an extremely smart and accomplished woman who has had a huge impact on pop culture most notably with her book turned hit Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale. She has solidified herself, perhaps unwillingly, as a divisive feminist figure with a body of work featuring female protagonists and encompassing themes around gender roles, identity, agency, and sexual and power politics. She was such an interesting person to learn about and we hope you enjoy learning about her as much as we did! We're wrapping today's episode up with a quick she's in the comments segment and our weekly grapes and gripes! Thanks for being here weed whackers!

    Happy Wednesday Whackers and welcome back to another pop culture archives episode of She's in Weeds where we review and discuss some of our favorite movies, shows, and pop culture phenomenons of yesteryear. First up we're yapping about Hollis's trip to Mexico, The Great Barrier Reef, and arachnaphobia. Then its on to daylight savings time, the struggles of parenting, and how much peer pressure influences our lives. Next we're laughing at "It's a lion OMG it's a lion." (IYKYK), Sam's sharing her excitement for an upcoming horror film, and Hollis finally started watching Stranger Things! Then it's time to reveal the psychic updates and honestly Karen may be onto something! Be sure to tune in and let us know what you think. Are you a believer? Next we're diving into a reality check and dishing on the West and Amanda rumors, the new RHONY cast, some updated thoughts on the Money Queen, and the Southern Charm season finale. Then it's time to get in the weeds with the this month's pop culture archives selection, Center Stage! We're bringing you some fun facts about the movie and cast and then breaking down the characters and scenes to discuss the themes and messages of the film. We had such a great time with this one and really enjoyed the rewatch. As always we wrap it up with gripes about difficult tasks and intolerable people and grapes to outrageous clothing and mile high good times. See you in the weeds!

    Happy Hump Day Whackers and welcome back to another episode of She's in the Weeds! Today is a very special episode as we are featuring our first ever guest! We are so excited and proud to introduce our friend, fitness coach, and strength trainer Katie Shedd! She's joining us for the entire episode as we yap about small batch artisanal sourdough vs big bread, the year of the fire horse, Brandi Glanville's long awaited answer to her health problems and facial disfiguration, and a TikTok video regarding Sydney Sweeney and the larger conversation about male attention as currency in which Sam shares a vulnerable, and as it turns out very relatable, personal story. Then it's time to get in the weeds with all things Katie and her impressive background and career as a fitness coach and strength trainer. We're diving into Katie's background and trajectory as a trainer, our own personal fitness journeys, the benefits of strength training for women, how we're approaching fitness with our children, strength training for empowerment and agency, pre and postnatal fitness, healthcare for women, and how we're personally working towards shifting the narrative from fitness for aesthetics to fitness for longevity. We're really proud of this one and we hope you enjoy it.
