The Hills 4x12 is basically an Audrina take over! There is barely any Lauren, a bit of Stephanie, a bit of Brody, and even a snippet of Brandy. Yeah, that's right, the legendary singer Brandy makes an appearance! The episode mostly revolved around Audrina's love life, the triangle she has found herself in with Corey and Justin Bobby is about to break. So who does she choose? Well, I will tell you what, it's not the right choice in the end.

Every once in a while, there is an episode of The Hills that is meant to set up the season. That is what this episode does. Yes, there is some drama between Doug and Lauren, we do get to see Whitney in New York City but most of the main characters aren't really in this episode. We don't have any Lo, Audrina, no Justin Bobby. During this episode of Nostalgia and Now I cover the Justin Timberlake apology, Morgan Wallen's apology, and Taylor's re-recording! 

I'm also super excited to welcome our guest Troy McEady of the Dunzo podcast! We dive into all things pop culture from the Free Britney movement to the darker side of Hollywood to celebrities we wish had most respect on their names. Troy is truly a wealth of knowledge and I hope you enjoy our slightly chaotic deep dive.

This week is a big week on Nostalgia and Now! The Hills recaps are back, I told you that they would be! Lo and Audrina are going to be totally dunzo after this episode, so we think at least. In my story corner, I talk about the time I almost ended up in a threesome during CMA fest and my worst date ever. This week there is more to cover than just our typical pop culture, Teen Mom OG premiered, I talk about my Challenge thoughts, and actually stayed up late enough to watch SNL! 

Oh, Jeff Epstein (itsjeffepstein) finally joins that podcast too! We talk about everything from addiction to Blake Lively to what 00's celebrity we want to party with. Be sure to use the time stamps below!

I catch us up on some pop culture news and admit I was wrong about a few celebrity couples. Use the time stamps below to find what you're looking for!

The Hills are alive with the sound of Audrina and Lauren drifting apart. Even though Audrina just moved into the guest house, it might as well be a million miles away! While Audrina tries to reach out by inviting The Laurens to a studio session, The Lauren's only want one thing, sushi of course. The rift continued to grow when The Laurens bring home a little surprise without talking to Audrina first. Heidi is also ready to boss up on her own and takes on a new position with new responsibilities.

Season three of The Hills is slowly coming to and end but the drama isn't! While Lauren is focusing on her career and being fairly unproblematic, the rest of the cast can't say the same. Heidi channels her inner Bad Girls Club when she sees Spencer talking to a few girls at the bar. Audrina is trying to be friendly with Heidi again but isn't sure if it's going to work out. This episode does leave us with a few questions. Will Lauren leave Teen Vogue? Will Speidi get back together? Will Audrina ever have a full storyline again?

I sat down at Luke's Diner with Kate Kennedy from the incredible podcast Be There in Five. We sipped our coffees while reminiscing about the easy days when the most important thing in the world was your Buddy Info on AIM. Chatting about everything pop culture we decided to switch from coffee to mimosas while we  decided to dive a bit deeper.  Is she a Kelly Clarkson fan? Was she Team Kristin or Team LC? What is her go to Bath and Body Works lotion? How does she feel about Paris Hilton? You'll have to listen to find out! 

Be sure to follow Kate on Instagram @BeThereInFive and listen to her podcast, Be There in Five!

It's the first day and who walks in? Stephanie Pratt. That's right! She is sitting one seat away from her arch enemy's sister. How uncomfortable is that. Other than that, Whitney is working her first NYFW show with Kelly and is nervous!

Well, the time has finally come for Lauren to go back to Paris. That's right! Lauren will no longer be known as the girl who didn't go to Paris. Well, she doesn't really know that until the end of the episode but it's still exciting! In other news, Speidi is having serious issues and Heidi decides to make a big change. Brody seems like he is getting more serious about being with Lauren but she is just focused on Paris. This episode very much feels like a season finale but it's just setting us up for some of the biggest drama yet.
