63 | The Lionesses’ Win, Harry Styles’ New Pleasing Launch & Is Your Situationship a Walking Red Flag?
Welcome back to the LuxeGen Group Chat! This week, Sapna is joined by Saroop and Lola. First, the trio reacts to the Lionesses’ epic Euros win – and the internet’s even more iconic response. They also debrief on *that* Drake and Central Cee track (and the viral Cole Palmer TikTok), try to crown the song of the summer and get into the weird and wonderful world of Harry Styles’ new Pleasing sex toy. They also share their takes on Apple TV’s ‘Stick’, the bonkers doc ‘Shark Whisperer’ on Netflix and the mysterious new true crime series ‘Amy Bradley Is Missing’. Finally, they tackle some seriously tricky group chat territory: is it a red flag if your situationship’s still on Hinge? Can you take space from a thriving friend without feeling like the worst person ever? And what do you do when your flatmate wants to go viral as the ultimate girl-flat but IRL she’s a nightmare?Follow us on:Instagram | https://bit.ly/3X0xm27TikTok | http://bit.ly/3jvwlBEPodcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/60SxAVVuD3LrgLdlKuy3uH Panel:Sapna Rao | @sapna_rao | https://www.instagram.com/sapna_rao/?hl=en Saroop Sangha | @saroop.k.s | https://www.instagram.com/saroop.k.s/?hl=en-gb Lola Lawlor | @lolalawlor | https://www.instagram.com/lolalawlor/?hl=en-gb What We Mentioned:Pleasing | https://pleasing.com/ The Summer I Turned Pretty | https://tinyurl.com/5debuuys Things We're Loving: Stick | https://tinyurl.com/3kzfm3dh Shark Whisperer | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81639669 Amy Bradley Is Missing | https://tinyurl.com/5n6jrf73 Hosted on Acast.
