Not Without My Sister

We go head to head on the recent Chappell Roan controversy. (Point to note: Chappell had not responded to Jorginho Frello's Instagram Story – what is this timeline we live in?! – by the time we recorded this episode, so we were missing some essential context but, you know, the general points still stand.)

Taylor Frankie Paul, the star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, was all set to be ABC's Bachelorette for 2026, with her season debuting this Sunday gone. But in the space of a week, things fell apart spectacularly.Rosemary unpacks the drama for Beatrice (who has terrible taste and doesn't watch SLOMW), discussing age-gap relationships, "reactive abuse" and whether or not you should just send your kids off to fight it out in the next room… Support the podcast by signing up to our Patreon! Catch up on the full back catalogue of exclusive episodes (and ad-free main episodes!) here: patreon.com/notwithoutmysister – you'll get a bonus episode each and every week, ad-free regular episodes AND access to our exclusive close friends feed on Instagram.And if you have questions, email us! notwithoutmysis@gmail.com. While you're at it, leave us a five-star review!

Beatrice has pledged allegiance to the flag (and the vibes), Rosemary is having some unfortunate stomach issues yet changing absolutely nothing about the way she eats and we're wondering what kind of grace period you need to give a loved one before you start to slag them about how drunk they were.

Would you consider going on a date with an AI chatbot?

Beatrice's citizenship interview is coming up, while Rosemary will not be eschewing HER loyalty to Ireland any time soon – she's heading home, in fact, to eat some delicious pastries and breathe in the sea air.
