    Period Blood, Women’s Magic & the “Men Are Aliens” Theory

    What happens when a conversation about women being magical turns into period blood, moon water, witchcraft, science... and a conspiracy theory that men might actually be aliens? 👽 This week on Call It... Girl Dinner, Lee and Amanda are going down a very unexpected rabbit hole — with Kemary joining in from afar to give us her thoughts. It starts with a video of a woman who mixed her period blood with moon water and somehow ended up with something growing in the jar. From there, we get into the shame surrounding menstruation, women’s relationship with nature, spirituality and witchcraft, the things women have historically been taught to hide about their bodies, and the very blurry line between something feeling like “magic” and simply being something science can explain. And then things get weird. 😂 A conspiracy theory claiming that women were the original humans and men are actually aliens sends us into an entirely different conversation about religion, science, what we actually know versus what makes for a fascinating theory, and whether society would look fundamentally different if it had been built by women. We fact-check. We speculate. We accidentally end up in Barbie Land. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a ridiculous conspiracy theory turns into a surprisingly interesting question about gender, power, hierarchy, and what humans might build if nobody were taught that one gender needed power over another. Because apparently this is where our brains go over Girl Dinner. 👀 Which rabbit hole got you more: women’s “magic” or the men-are-aliens theory? And what do you think a world built by women would actually look like? Episode Highlights: Period blood + moon water... and the mysterious plant that started growingWhy menstruation still carries so much shameWomanhood, nature and why some women find spiritual meaning in their cyclesWitchcraft, spirituality, science and where we draw the line between themWhether women’s “magic” has historically been dismissed or suppressedThe conspiracy theory that men are actually aliens 👽Fact-checking some of the claims behind the theoryWhat a society built by women might actually look likeWhether power, greed and hierarchy are gendered — or simply humanKemary takes us to Barbie LandWhy the bigger question may be what we’d build without gender-based power at all Let us know where you land on all of this — whether you’re here for the science, the spirituality, the conspiracy theories, or just the chaos of watching us try to make sense of all three. And with that... Season 4 is officially a wrap! 🥹🍽️ We’ll see you in Season 5. ________________________ Chapters: 00:13 We’re Talking About Women, Magic & Some Wild Theories 01:37 The Artist’s Way Started This Whole Rabbit Hole 03:25 Period Blood + Moon Water… and a Plant Grew?! 08:13 Reclaiming the Things Women Were Taught to Hide 10:14 What If Women’s “Magic” Was Suppressed? 14:48 When Science Starts Feeling a Little Like Magic 20:31 Kemary Reacts: “Who Thought to Do This?!” 25:07 Period Shame, Womanhood & What We Were Taught 29:42 Conspiracy Theory: What If Men Are Aliens? 👽 34:55 Okay, But Let’s Fact-Check This Theory 39:29 What Would a World Built by Women Look Like? 43:43 Kemary Reacts: Welcome to Barbie Land 47:55 So… What Do We Actually Think? 49:04 Goodbye, Season 4! ______________________ Referenced in the video: @iselljewelry2 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iselljewelry2/video/7675418964708691213 @teaspinelliii on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teaspinelliii/video/7662149035490299166 ________________________ More ways to listen: https://bio.site/callitgirldinner ^^Links to Spotify & Apple Podcast as well as our socials

    Trending Influencers and the video essays and think pieces of it all.

    The girls over at Call It...Girl Dinner are very aware that the tide of the internet has turned and we are currently on to the next topic. However, there are things we like to pause and sit with for a bit. This week's episode was one where the girls reflected on the drama that broke out with Drew Afualo and Jools Lebron a couple of weeks ago. Kemary was caught up on the conflict as she is not as chronically online as Amanda and Lee. Amanda could not wrap her head around how the internet and drama works despite being an avid novela lover and chisme investigator. Lee enlightens the girls with the reality that influencers are not impacting culture the way they used to. What makes an internet scandal? Can Influencers be permanently cancelled? Are celebrities ever really cancelled? Are these influencers redeemable after their fall? Check out what the ladies had to say about these particular examples. Chime in with your opinions in the comments! ______________________Referenced in the video:@Taryndelaniesmith on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTy1TSc9g/@drew afualo “the comment section” :https://youtu.be/q2hTk_IE6cw?is=T1H_3KCtLi80HIoV@joolslebron tik tok https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTy13tFAn/________________________More ways to listen:https://bio.site/callitgirldinner^^Links to Spotify & Apple Podcast as well as our socials***#millennialpodcast #influncers #girltalk #friendshippodcast #CallItGirlDinner

    Millennials, Cringe & the Audacity to Exist

    Why are millennials still the punchline? This week on Call It... Girl Dinner, we’re getting into the weird cycle of generational criticism: why millennials are still blamed for everything from finances to fashion, when “cringe” became shorthand for simply getting older, and why adults are expected to keep reshaping themselves just to avoid being judged by the generation before or after them. We talk about growing up across the analog-to-digital shift, MySpace and early internet culture, individuality, nostalgia, Disney adults, the pressure to follow a traditional life formula, and why maybe the real issue is that people have a hard time letting each other just... exist. And yes, there are a few side quests along the way. 😂 👀 What’s one millennial stereotype you’re completely over hearing? Or if you’re not a millennial, what stereotype about your generation makes you roll your eyes? Episode Highlights: Why millennials are still blamed for economic and cultural shiftsGrowing up between pre-internet childhood and the rise of social mediaWhen did simply getting older become “cringe”?Why individuality seems to bother people across generationsMySpace, LiveJournal, nostalgia and the internet we helped beta testDisney adults, hobbies and why grown people should be allowed to like what they likeThe traditional “work now, enjoy life later” formula and why millennials started questioning itWhy generational conflict may be about more than generations at all Let us know where you land in the generational lineup and whether you think this kind of discourse is actually getting worse, or if every generation just eventually becomes somebody else’s punchline. ________________________ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction + Why Millennials Are Still the Punching Bag 03:17 Breaking Down the Generations 07:52 Millennials, Recessions + Financial Blame 12:22 The Jacksonville Rabbit Hole 16:40 When Did Existing Become “Cringe”? 22:30 Individuality, Nuance + Why Difference Bothers People 26:02 Individuality Across Cultures 29:07 Do Other Countries Have Generational Feuds Too? 30:10 Trends, “Nerd Culture” + Who Sets the Culture 33:01 Social Change, Backlash + Generational Tension 36:08 What Stereotypes Miss About Millennials 41:42 Closing Thoughts: Enjoying Life + Being Yourself 49:48 Final Thoughts + Listener Question ________________________ More ways to listen: https://bio.site/callitgirldinner ^^Links to Spotify & Apple Podcast as well as our socials

    Built Brick by brick: our Al Gore Rhythms

    The internet is full of predictions, but this episode is where the girls go back and check the receipts. From a homemade celebrity bingo card to the wildest things that actually happened, Amanda, Kemi, and Lee turn last year’s pop culture bets into a hilarious postmortem on what came true, what flopped, and what nobody saw coming.They break down the biggest wins on the board, including Zendaya and Tom Holland, Wicked, and the ongoing Beyonce universe, while also revisiting the misses: Elon buying TikTok, a Kat Williams interview sequel, a Kanye tell-all, and the celebrity chaos that never quite materialized. Along the way, they spiral into everything from Rihanna’s rumored return to the studio to Blake Lively’s legal saga and the internet’s never-ending obsession with who is winning, who is lying, and who is about to be canceled next.You’ll also hear the trio get completely derailed in the best way - debating celebrity fashion, astrology, Threads rabbit holes, unhinged FYP content, and the strange ways social media feeds different people different realities. Amanda brings the energy and the hot takes, Kemi adds the reactions and reality checks, and Lee contributes the wonderfully specific internet brain that somehow includes falling videos, car chases, true crime, and the most chaotic feeds imaginable.If you’ve ever made a prediction, defended a celebrity too hard, or lost 30 minutes to a thread you should not have clicked, this one will feel dangerously familiar. It is funny, messy, and surprisingly revealing about how quickly pop culture turns into collective mythology - and why everyone keeps watching.Perfect for anyone who loves celebrity commentary, online chaos, and friends who can turn a simple bingo card into a whole cultural audit. 0:00 Intro 1:01 2025 bingo card predictions 4:41 Rihanna, Beyoncé & celebrity style 8:51 Kanye, North & celebrity family discourse 13:24 Jay-Z’s anniversary concert and Rihanna rumors 16:33 Rihanna album speculation 17:04 Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni discussion 19:46 What’s on everyone’s social media feed? 25:08 Unhinged FYPs, psychics & viral trends 30:37 YouTube Shorts, dating content & algorithms 33:19 Trending topics: Nara Smith and trad-wife discourse 35:58 True crime story that went viral 37:35 AI companies destroying rare books 40:14 The smallest reasons to unfollow someone 42:24 AI vertical dramas and strange social media ads 46:40 AI animal videos and bizarre internet content 48:46 Wrapping up & question for the audience ________________________ More ways to listen:https://bio.site/callitgirldinnerVideos referenced in today's episode: @priscilla_davies on tiktok. ^^Links to Spotify & Apple Podcast as well as our socials***#callitgirldinner #millennialpodcast #girltalk #friendshippodcast #femalefriendship

    What Makes a Friendship Last (And What Kills It)

    This week we're getting into something we've talked around for three seasons but never sat down to define: what does Call It...Girl Dinner actually mean to us? We cook (Cambodian egg rolls that needed Kemary's approval twice, stir-fried ramen from the Asian store, and Amanda’s first attempt at macarons), then get into the real conversation, what makes female friendships last, what quietly kills them, and whether we're really losing friendships to laziness or something deeper. 👀 What's one thing a friend has done that made you feel unwanted, or like a burden? Drop it in the comments. Episode Highlights: Kemary's egg roll veto and the search for an "approved" recipeAmandas first-ever macarons (and the unexpected French colonization history lesson)What makes a female friendship last: vulnerability, grace, and intentionality over frequencyThe moment that kills a friendship for Lee: feeling like a burden instead of a wanted friendshipAre we really losing friendships to laziness, or is it mental health and burnout? Let us know: do you think it's laziness killing modern friendships, or are we all just quietly overwhelmed?
