This Morning: The Ex Encounter, and Everything Else Online

Today’s episode was one of those mornings where the conversation moved in a lot of directions — the internet kind.We started with the leggings my mother-in-law found online that supposedly help burn calories (which raises a lot of questions), aThen we talked about the very relatable moment of running into an ex after seeing Alix Earle share that exact experience at a party — because honestly, we all know what that feeling is like.From there, it turned into a quick tour of the things everyone seems to be noticing this week:Devil’s Channel shoes, snd the one that wears Prada the Met Gala energythe Flying Pig Marathon weekend aheadand Kentucky Derby season arriving right on scheduleWe also talked about the surprisingly persistent cultural realization that the characters in Mean Girls are only 22 now… while SpongeBob SquarePants is somehow 27, which feels impossible but true.And in between all of that, there was a moment that stayed with me — noticing kids in a parking lot and thinking about how easy it is to move through a day without realizing what someone else’s day might look like.In this episode:leggings that claim to burn calories (and the CRZ dupe conversation)running into an ex and why everyone relates to that momentDevil’s Channel shoes and current internet fashion energyMean Girls vs. SpongeBob timeline shockMet Gala seasonFlying Pig and Derby weekend arriving togetherand the small moments that shift how you see the people around youThis Morning, with Tiff Potter is short daily companion audio — rooted in Cincinnati, made for wherever you are.If you want company, press play.https://www.instagram.com/p/DXxO-I3k6_E/
