Season 2, Episode 12: Brat Summer. Now It’s Moo Deng Fall.

Brooke starts off this week by explaining her personal reasons for being more publicly vocal against Trump. Then, while the Diddy news has been much discussed, including in this week’s newsletter, Brooke talks specifically about the growing noise around an alleged Justin Bieber song that includes lyrics about a Diddy party, but which is actually an AI-generated track that’s been making the rounds since April. And we can’t talk pop culture this week and not talk about Moo Deng, the adorable, chonky potato pygmy hippo from Thailand. We finish off with a little Menendez brother chitchat and Brooke’s favorite new show, The English Teacher.    Pop Culture Mondays Newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com Brooke’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooke/  Brooke’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/brooke   Brooke’s TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brookehammerling   Potato’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/potato/
