Episode Details

Julia gets stage fright at the Minnesota State Fair, but that doesn’t stop the people-watching, fair food, music, and a little scandal. Lori & Julia unpack the latest Dolly Parton news, from Dollyfest and a possible Met Gala theme change to Miley Cyrus and Super Bowl speculation. US Open: Roger Federer, Carlos Alcaraz’s hair, and why tennis fans may be over the influencer invasion. Plus: the latest twist in the Tupac Shakur murder case, the absolutely unnecessary Days of Thunder 2, Tom Cruise’s next movie, and a book recommendation for The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett. There’s also another family engagement, early wedding planning, Kelly Clarkson’s final show, Dirty Dancing at the Ordway, the latest Olivia Rodrigo and Jennifer Aniston news, TV recommendations, and Oreo-gate. Plus: Korean skincare and a few things Lori & Julia swear they’ll never do again.
