  • 183. Fjords, Cold Plunges, Jellyfish, and the End of the World

    22:02||Season 5, Ep. 183
    This week, I take you on an emotionally unhinged journey from the glacial waters of Norway to the psychological battlefield that is… modern life in America. What starts as a bougie wellness trip—complete with sauna bonding, orange jellyfish, and Scandinavian death water—spirals into a full-blown existential crisis about war, privilege, and whether I should be stocking adaptogens or ammo.I dive into thalassophobia, my husband’s Olympic plunge energy, and why nature is not my birthright. Then I land back in the U.S. and WHIPLASH: it’s war, again. Instagram is a mix of missile strikes, makeup tutorials, and influencers contouring through the collapse. Welcome to the simulation.We talk privilege, the politics of panic, global chaos, and the real reason I’m skipping the next cold plunge: I’d rather be judged in Monaco by a Pomeranian than emotionally waterboarded by a fjord.Warning: Contains jellyfish trauma, aesthetic spiralsNorway, Fjord, Oslo, Travel#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture

    Is America actually on sale?

Who benefits? Who loses coverage, groceries, and basic dignity? And why does Congress keep acting like chronic illness is a personality flaw?In this episode:Why the top 1% gets beachfront write-offsWhat Medicaid work requirements actually meanWhy 12 million could lose coverageSNAP cuts, ICE bonuses, and rural hospital shadeStudent loan “reform” that’s basically a prankAnisha calls out both parties, explains every clause like you’re five (but fabulous), and reminds you why loving America means holding it accountable.This isn’t a political lecture.

  • 185. Poop Cruises & Prada’s Kolhapuri: The Vibe Economy Is Broken

    23:09||Season 5, Ep. 185
    In this unhinged episode of Currently Cringing, we’re spiraling through the wildest parts of 2025—from Carnival’s poop cruise documentary to Labubu demon dolls and Zara’s AI-generated outfits that feel like a simulation glitch. We’re also calling out Prada’s $1,200 Kolhapuri chappals (colonizer-core is not couture) and breaking down why the vibe economy is broken—because artists and cultural creators keep building the vibe while corporations keep cashing the checks.And finally, I’m entering month two of Mounjaro, my blood sugar’s balanced, my inflammation is down, and I’ve never felt better—even if society is in full-blown aesthetic chaos.Carnival cruise documentary, poop cruise Netflix, Labubu doll Pazuzu, Prada Kolhapuri sandal, Zara AI fashion, vibe economy, cultural appropriation fashion, mounjaro update 2025, Currently Cringing podcast, luxury fashion critique, aesthetic theft#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture
  • 182. WWJD: Bezos and Modern Power

    22:48||Season 5, Ep. 182
    From the lace-gloved chaos of Lauren Sánchez’s couture rollout to Jeff Bezos’ Renaissance space wedding with a guest list that low-key rivals the Epstein files—this week we spiral hard. Anisha breaks down the $200B masquerade, Kim K’s Saint Laurent Succubus moment, Bezos’ kids ghosting the ceremony, and why this wasn’t a wedding—it was a rebrand. We’re talking narcissism, NDAs, Nepo billionaires, and the sickeningly soft power of silicone Versailles. It’s Eyes Wide Shut meets Forbes 500 with a prenup. What Would Jeff Do? Apparently, everything.#BezosWedding #LaurenSanchez #CurrentlyCringing #WWJD #MainCharacterEnergy #PopCulture #ViralPodcast #Unfiltered #CulturalCommentary#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast
  • 181. Microdosing Mounjaro

    28:08||Season 5, Ep. 181
    We waited three hours in the rain for Ceres Pizza in NYC. It was $115. There were time slots being screamed like we were at JFK, and we left with two pizzas, five people, and zero slices to spare for the poor man who tried to Venmo us. This is the energy I left New York with—and then flew straight to Scandinavia.In this unfiltered episode, I’m taking you through my chaotic, gorgeous, hormonally regulated European birthday tour for my husband across Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary—all while microdosing Mounjaro.No migraines. No sinus infections. No sugar spirals. Just schnapps, goulash, beer, and 20,000 steps a day in platform sneakers. We peed in floor-to-ceiling glass bathrooms, swam in fjords, and I was recognized by Family Karma fans in Aurland, Norway (a North Carolina supermodel couple, obviously).I share my full Mounjaro update—how I lost 9 lbs of inflammation and water weight, cleared the food noise, slept like I astral projected, and didn’t even want dessert in Europe. My period showed up on cue (because she always vacations with me), but for the first time in years? No migraine. No histamine meltdown.And because I have too much to say and too many opinions to gatekeep, I’m launching a curated travel + wellness blog—a chaotic guide to food, culture, hormones, luxury, and how to survive Europe with a carry-on and cortisol. You’re welcome.I’m also heading straight from this trip into stand-up shows, because apparently I enjoy exhaustion. Let’s get into it.Funny podcast girls comedy female millennial mounjaro
