Travis Kelce’s Alleged Dog Days of Summer

Key takeaways

• Diane von Furstenberg's Instagram "sun protocol" photo became a talking point: a visor over a child's swim shirt cut with a face hole, a full black athletic bodysuit, detachable gloves, and deck shoes, captioned with a claim of 70 hours of swimming this summer and an uncorrected typo. The hosts split between respect and confusion, noting sunscreen might work better, while acknowledging listener doctors who defend swim shirts for real skin-cancer prevention, not just anti-aging.
• Amanda pushes UPF clothing as a practical habit, praising a button-down stylist shirt she wore all summer, and describes Cape Cod surf shops turning branded UPF shirts into vacation souvenirs. The two disagree on how far daily sun safety should go, with Juliette resisting the idea of applying sunscreen to her arms for a short commute in Los Angeles.
• Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain festival, framed as a next-generation Lilith Fair, featured all-women artists including Sarah McLachlan, a Stevie Nicks duet on "Landslide," and Chappell Roan. It raised $10 million for women's causes, which Melinda French Gates matched with another $10 million.
• Travis Kelce gave his first non-New Heights interview since the wedding for a Tommy Hilfiger campaign and Vogue spread, posing with Gigi Hadid and his and Taylor Swift's large dog, Wendy. The hosts see the preppy clothes as fine and Kelce as a genuine fashion experimenter, but call the orchestrated moment something that only happens because he is married to Taylor Swift.
• The hosts predict Swift will base herself in Kansas City and Nashville rather than New York this football season, and they spend a stretch on Google Maps working out drive times between those cities and Cleveland, where Kelce grew up.
• Practical Magic 2 brings back Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, both in their fifties and, per the hosts, looking great despite visible trailer filters. Kidman's British Vogue comments about late dinners and hitting clubs at 1 a.m. in a wig charmed both hosts. The cast also includes Maisie Williams, prompting a tangent on the Game of Thrones diaspora always playing versions of their old characters.

Notable moments

• Amanda opens "live from Italy" for the Venice Film Festival, already one spritz in at 4 p.m., citing a New York Times piece on the drink's working-class Venetian origins.
• A running bit on celebrity heights: John Malkovich "doesn't read as tall as Jacob Elordi," and the internet lists him at six feet, so "let's say he's five 11."
• Juliette on DVF: "I respect it and don't understand it is where I am with this."
• Amanda's Australia flashback, where flight attendants forcefully pushed sunscreen because of the ozone hole, a warning that stuck with her for years.
• A long detour into a Nantucket bird-watching general store where Amanda bought a spoonbill-shaped hat, leading to Juliette's declaration that she is "afraid of birds" and does not trust them.
• Juliette recaps a Nantucket piano bar charging $50 to play any of eight songs, with "Pink Pony Club" sitting alongside "Piano Man" as an "indication" of Chappell Roan's arrival.
• Juliette's confession that she cannot stop watching Instagram Reels of Nick Jonas, tracing it to his choir performance of "Jealous," and comparing the admission to disclosing porn habits.
• Juliette pans Jonas's casting as Jamie in a filmed The Last Five Years as "the worst casting I can think of," which she skipped in her postpartum state.
• Jon Hamm gets credited as the best Good Hang guest and discussed via his role in David Wain's satirical Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, where he plays on his own Don Draper image.
• Amanda admits defeat on identifying a giant multi-story yacht in the Venice lagoon, promising to report back next week after striking out on boating websites.
