Girl beef, so confusing! I'm fascinated every single time I hear about any variation of a complicated female dynamic - whether it's a friendship breakup, a screenshot a friend sends you, or a coded interview quote that everyone knows is about one specific person but nobody will say out loud. Today we're getting into all of it: the psychology of relational aggression and why girls have been doing this forever, why nobody wants to talk about it, and what celebrity culture reveals about these dynamics that your real life never could.

We're breaking down Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift's years-long coded exchanges, the Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber copying spiral that goes way deeper than a tattoo, and the Charli XCX and Lorde WORKING IT OUT on the remix haha that actually gave us a rare happy ending...plus real listener submissions about frenemies at work, girls who copied everything down to their vintage couch, and the best friend you love but also kind of can't stand sometimes.
