Episode Overview

This episode of Just Trish is a high-energy, freewheeling discussion of internet and celebrity culture, recent viral moments, influencer controversies, and plenty of Trisha’s signature comedic storytelling.

Episode Tone, Style & Listener Guide

• The tone: Chaotic, funny, high-energy, very online, self-aware, and warm.
• Listeners unfamiliar with inside internet or influencer culture will still find plenty to enjoy in the playful, slightly absurdist takes on celebrity, food, and fandom.
• The episode’s structure is loose, driven by tangents, banter, and spontaneous digressions, but always doubling back to the core theme: the joys and perils of hyper-online, pop-culture-obsessed living.

Skip if you’re not into: Brand banter, deep-fried influencer drama, or Gossip Girl-level intricacies of internet celebrity.
