    WAGs, Man Bags & Which Footballer Gifted An Orgy To His Dad? With Jack Rivllin

    Hey EIChampions 🏆 ! Come and take an EIC-style spin 🚗 around the football ⚽️ block: it's the World Cup's world 🌍 & we're all just living in it, baby 💋. (It's coming home FYI.) This week on the podcast we are without Ruchira, who is currently on honeymoon. She’ll be back in a couple of weeks and we’ll do a big wedding debrief then- but for this episode, as you will hear, we are joined by Jack Rivlin from The Upshot podcast! The show where he, alongside Zach Sweeney Lynch, covers brilliantly funny sports stories - everything from drunken dressing-room escapades to deep dives into famous sports personalities and their scandalous lives. Their current world cup coverage is also absolutely unmissable.  First up, we give our predictions for Saturday's game, recommend our favourite animals to get betting advice from, and discuss the hottest football managers (spoiler: it's all of them). Then we talk about something messy- no, not Lionel - but ongoing allegations towards FIFA of corruption, US favouritism and collusion with Donald Trump. Perhaps the biggest recent example of this was the decision to rescind a red card suspension of US player Folarin Balogun and allow him to play in a last-16 match earlier this week against Belgium. As Jack calls it, it's a 'love-in' between Trump & Infantino. Next up, we're sure everyone knows what a WAG is- but in case you’re waking up from a 30-year coma- it’s a term meaning 'Wives And Girlfriends', usually attributed to the partners of professional footballers. The origin of the term is somewhat disputed- some say it was christened in 2002 with coverage of teenage Colleen after Wayne Rooney’s first Premier League goal, others say it goes back even further to the infamous purple-outfitted Posh & Beck’s wedding of 1999. We reminisce on the best to ever do it! And lastly, some salacious stories from some of the most famous men in sport! Plus lots of meandering, philandering, Haaland-pandering, tangents in the middle! We hope you enjoy ☺️ , as always please do rate, review, and follow the show! And share with your friends! And leave a Spotify comment! Love you, byeeeeeeeeeee.

    Everything In Conversation: Meta Glasses, Perverts & Privacy Vs. Content

    Hello EICustard Creams! For this week's bonus we're discussing the ethics of wearing or owning smart glasses. It's a tech that has existed in various forms for over a decade, first with Google Glass, then Apple’s Vision Pro, which caused concern on release for featuring twelve cameras, six microphones and two depth sensors. And now Meta, along with other big tech giants, are expanding their own smart glass collections, ponying up for huge celebrity endorsements and seeking to normalise the tech for everyday wear. With your help- we discuss. Thanks so much for your takes on this topic. We love love love being In Conversation with you all!

    Bimbo Stoicism, Gwyneth Paltrow's Controversies & Steamy Scenes In Off Campus

    Hello ‘ello EICrashouts! Happy Friday but even more importantly- happy wedding day to our beloved Ruchira! If you’ve not sorted your wedding gift yet don’t fret. The bride and groom have requested 5 star ratings and gorgeous reviews for the pod.  Onto the episode… First up we’re discussing a truly bonkers run of celebrity endorsements. Timothée Chalamet for controversial prediction market Kalshi, his partner Kylie Jenner shilling Meta’s new Starfire AI glasses and Gwyneth Paltrow advertising luxury real estate in Israel… are some celebrities too famous for consequences? And how fat were those paycheques?  Next up a new philosophy on the block- Bimbo Stoicism. Described as “a viral internet subculture that blends ancient Stoic emotional detachment with hyper-feminine, reclaimed "bimbo" aesthetics” with “a core philosophy encouraging women to reject rigid patriarchal beauty hierarchies and embrace self-acceptance by identifying with a "twin animal" that matches their natural features and demeanour.” Word salad or a chance to escape a lifetime of female-coded suffering? And finally: a steamy streamer to heatedly rival Heated Rivalry: Off Campus on Amazon Prime. Adapted from a book series of the same name by Elle Kennedy, the series is set at the fictional Briar University and follows music student Hannah Wells as she makes a deal with star hockey player and team captain Garrett Graham to start a fake relationship in exchange for her tutoring him. Perfect horny show or just a load of old fluff? One of us hated it, the other two have taste. No spoilers! Thanks so much for listening! You can follow us @everythingiscontentpod for behind the scenes content and to help us decide future topics. O, R, B x This week Oenone was loving Two Weeks In August on BBC iPlayer, Queenie Is Working On It by Candice Carty-Williams (out now!) and kimchi cheese toasties.

    Everything In Conversation: Bringing Back 'Queenie' With Candice Carty-Williams

    Hello EICherries 🍒 This week is a very special author episode with the incredibly talented and successful Candice Carty-Williams. It was an honour to speak to her about her highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Queenie – her debut novel exploring the highs and lows of a 20-something young Black woman. She was very open about the struggles of adapting the story for TV; why she decided to bring the character back now; chosen families, and her experience of productivity pressure and desperately needing to switch off. We loved speaking with her. Please do give us a rating or a Spotify comment on any topics we discussed, as we'd love to hear from you 3 Love O,R,B xxxx ------- Queenie Is Working On It is OUT NOW. Go get a copy ASAP. Candice's tour dates Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Anne Hathaway Pregnancy Discourse, Unbearable Heatwaves & Gen Bedroom

    Hello EIClimate worriers, we're back with a new episode spanning heatwaves, hot wedding fashion and a temperature check on Gen Z's futures. First up, our dear, dear friend Dua got married recently and kindly shared *the* dress publicly last weekend. Was it an EIC slay or nay? Find out. We also wade into the most ridiculous discourse we've ever encountered, arguably – all centred on Anne Hathaway's pregnancy. Then there's only one subject on the UK's mind right now: heatwave. We dive into the frustrating and unreasonable online discourse around the climate. And finally, Generation Bedroom. No, these aren't fun teens sleeping in; they're a generation of unemployed, disenfranchised young people pushed out of jobs and entering the world. Thank you for listening to us this week! Remember to keep hydrated and stay safe in the heat. Love O,R.B xoxo This week Ruchira watched The Alien Autopsy Scandal and read I Who Have Never Known Men. Oenone loved Legends, Rivals s2 & The Harry Styles tour (as did Beth). Beth also recommended Fantastic Mr Fox. ----- Dua Lipa Has Finally Revealed Her Wedding Dress – And It Took 1,155 Hours To Make How hot a 1976-style heatwave would be today Why even a mild UK heatwave can feel hotter than America's worst Pop Crave's Anne Hathaway tweet Women who postpone having babies until they are older make happier parents, study finds Women Who Give Birth in Their Thirties Have Longer Telomeres, a Marker of Healthy Cellular Aging Young people and work: interim report Being NEET in early adulthood has scarring effect into midlife Young bearing the brunt of UK tax and wage changes, says BoE economist Number of job vacancies hits five year-low Hosted on Acast.

    Everything In Conversation: Taste, Tasteslop & Tabis

    Hello EIChloe Sevignys, this week, one of the big cultural talking points is can AI ever replicate taste? And should we all be actively protecting our own, regardless of how good or bad it is? In March, Kyle Chayka wrote a piece for The New Yorker titled: Why Tech Bros Are Now Obsessed with Taste. In it, he quoted several key tech figures who present taste as the final frontier for AI tech bros - almost like the one human trait they’re finding impossible to replicate. In May, Trend forecaster and founder of the strategy firm Nemesis Global, Emily Segal, coined the term “tasteslop” to describe the repetitive, recycled visuals littering the internet that feel devoid of any human point of view, almost like gorgeous blandness. Lots of it, she points out, feels like this because it’s generated by AI and then replicated over and over. And of course, last week, Polyester released ‘The Polyester Book of Bad Taste’, a collection of essays edited by its editor-in-chief Ione Gamble. The book is described as an antidote to ever-creeping homogeneity and bland tastefulness. “In a world constantly vying for our attention, having faith in your own (bad) taste is more than a small subversion – it's a rallying cry to live our lives unapologetically.” We talk all things taste, with your help! Thank you so much for all of your takes on this topic we love being in conversation with you all!

    Everything In Conversation: Novel Writing, Men Who Won't Grow Up & Sally Rooney with Jem Calder

    Happy Wednesday EICrickets! In today's episode we're joined by writer and novelist Jem Calder, whose debut novel I Want You To Be Happy was released last month. The three of us all separately recommended the book on the pod, and we're in good company as fans. Andrew O'Hagan called Jem his "new favourite writer" and Sally Rooney said it was an "irresistible novel that asks complex questions about contemporary life and refuses easy answers. I couldn't stop reading." The book follows the unfurling, complicated relationship between Chuck, a 35-year-old copywriter working at a large ad agency, and Joey, a 23-year-old barista living payday to payday who nurtures a quiet ambition of becoming a poet. We talk to Jem about the themes of his novel- don't worry, no spoilers- plus the writing process, what he thinks about modern dating, dating apps, men who refuse to grow up and being "discovered" by Sally Rooney. Plus plenty of book recs & writing advice. Thanks so much for listening! See you Friday!
