Submit ReviewAfter a five-year run, The Cooler is saying goodbye with a finale jam-packed with the voices of you, our beloved listeners!
We’ll be getting into all kinds of things like the return of Brad and Jen, DeepFakes, a review of a weird, sexy Old Hollywood movie, and much, much more! Also, get ready to be wiped out by a tidal wave of feels!
If you want to keep in touch with us, stalk us on Twitter! Carly is @TeaCupInTheBay, Jamedra is @JamedraSays and you can find me @xcusemybeauty. Until we meet again, byeeee!
On this month’s episode of The Cooler, we’re making resolutions to upgrade ourselves in 2020.
We’re discussing how some of our favorite shows and films have retconned plots to cover their asses.
And we’re making a pilgrimage to visit one of Jennifer Aniston’s exes.

On this month’s episode of The Cooler, we analyze why Instagram has taken away likes, and share our confessions of how the app has screwed with our heads. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have strong feelings about this and so do we.
We’re also unpacking the viral tweet that got everyone talking about emotional labor, and asking ourselves: when did friendships start to feel like work?
And we’re telling the real-life stories of three Dubai princesses who recently tried to escape, and discussing how their situations break the royal fantasy.

On this month’s episode of The Cooler, we’re preparing to say goodbye to this decade by revisiting some of the biggest bops and messiest flops that the music world had to offer, including teen girls who make Rebecca Black sound like Etta James and a debate over whether Coldplay is trash or treasure.
We’re also digging into why so many people cared about the recent feud between notable WAGs (that’s Wives And Girlfriends of famous footballers) Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy.
We’re also helping one listener with a futuristic relationship pickle, and summarizing the entire Star Wars mythology in just a few disrespectful minutes (you’ll never look at Billy Joel the same way again).

We’re baaaaack! Wondering what we’ve spent our summer hiatus doing? We’ll tell you all about not dying on a cruise, butchering the Italian language and running into the one and only Kimberly Kardashian!
A lot has happened in the world of popular culture since our last episode, so it seems only right that we weigh in on the biggest stories of the summer in a segment we’re calling *guttural Kelly Clarkson voice * Since We’ve Been Gooooone!
We’ll weigh in on the chicken sandwich wars, why we are no longer thirsting after Justin Trudeau, the latest groan-worthy thing Scarlett Johansson has said, why we’ll take Lil Nas X over Kevin Hart any day of the week and how Ruth Bader Ginsburg has inspired us to outlive our nemeses.
Then, we’ll take a look at how PR paved the way for Brad Pitt’s return, and why you shouldn’t fall for it.
Everyone knows what went down (no pun intended) with Clinton’s impeachment, but what about the only other president to be impeached? We’ll tell you the story of a grumpy racist dude from the 1860s who had it coming.
And we’ll also school you on the surprising profession of Ronald Reagan’s son and introduce you to Lindsay Lohan’s new kind-of-catchy prescription drug anthem (yep, you read that right).

In this extra special bonus episode, y’all get to eavesdrop on a conversation between one of us and Queer Eye’s fashion guru, Tan France, in front of 1,400 people at San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre.
Expect deep topics like what it was like growing up gay in a Muslim South Asian traditional family and how 9/11 still affects Tan’s life to this day, as well as shallow topics like how he ended up partying with Victoria Beckham, why he hates Olive Garden and whether he loves *NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys more.
