We’re untying the Duane Reade bag handles and digging into the very messy marriage of Lily Allen and David Harbour. Our first dating‑app couple, they looked to be all love and light, at first. But in 2025, Lily’s brutally candid, masterpiece of an album, West End Girl, torched the Stranger Things star while revealing every nitty‑gritty detail of the open relationship that left the singer in emotional turmoil.

Do people ever actually follow the “rules” in these arrangements? Did Lily understand it was a non-monoguous dynamic from the start? Are middle‑aged men who’ve never settled down sleepwalking red flags? Should big-name pop stars have to audition for commercial theatre? And, who the fuck is Madeline?!? We’re ruminating on these questions and more in our emotional autopsy of these ex-lovers.

This episode originally aired in 2022 on Patreon, and we're making it public for the first time. Enjoy!
As New England Patriots fans, we know too well what it’s like to be broken up with by Tom Brady as he flaunts his new relationship so publicly. But imagine that heartbreak on top of being pregnant with his child!
Actress Bridget Moynahan may have played the new, young girlfriend (Natasha) whom Mr. Big moved on with (Sex & The City), but in real life, she was Brady’s most notable girlfriend before he moved on with Gisele Bündchen. We look back at their relationship, the shocking pregnancy, and how the co-parents’ relationship has evolved through the years.

In the spirit of the season, we’re celebrating the love story of two former child stars (yes, two) whose early careers included some very festive films. You obviously know Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone, but don’t sleep on Brenda Song’s early acting credits in Santa with Muscles and The Ultimate Christmas Present. Join us as we dive into how these two overcame past hardships and heartbreaks, found each other, and became one of the cutest couples around.
