Christmas is basically next week 🎄
Are we ready?
Short answer: one of us is.
The other is absolutely vibing on panic.
This episode of Bestie Boos is festive, chaotic, and packed with pop culture - exactly how we like it.
This week, we get into:🎬 Pop Culture Chaos
• Is Warner Bros + Netflix still happening or nah?
• The Taylor Swift documentary on Disney+ - the first two episodes, the heavy moments, and the whiplash of Taylor also casually handing out huge bonuses
• Australia banning social media for kids 16 and under - thoughts, feelings, concerns - we are not on the same page BBs • A quick-fire countdown of the biggest pop culture moments of 2025 (top 8, no overthinking, just vibes)
🎤 Real Life, Zero Filter
• Sam’s latest guest speaking gig, featuring an elevator that chose the limelight during her presentation
• Teacher gifts - are they mandatory? Are we overthinking it? Who’s organised and who’s pretending not to stress
• Sarah announces Sam must issue a formal apology to LinkedIn after a major brand slid into our DMs there (turns out LinkedIn… works??)
• Are we doing too much with Christmas presents for the kids? • A genuinely ridiculous dilemma about a new neighbour and whether offering to lend your lawnmower is wholesome… or unhinged
✨ What Are You Vibing? - Best of 2025 Edition
• Best purchase of the year
• Favourite music of 2025
• Best TV show or movie
• Drink of choice for the year 🍸 (very on brand)
🎄 Coming Up
• Our Christmas party is locked in
• A special guest episode is on the way (you’ll have to listen till the end to find out who 👀)
• Plus, a Christmas Eve episode dropping because we love a festive overachieveUnfiltered, festive, slightly unhinged - welcome to Bestie Boos.
