Some people are born great, some achieve greatness, and some are 5’1” Italian girls from New York City who single-handedly reinvent pop music, meat dresses, and the very concept of camp. This week, Samir and Tobias embark on a deeply unhinged journey through the chaotic brilliance of the one and only Lady Gaga. From her early days performing in grimy NYC clubs and sold out IKEA parking lots to her ascension as THE Mother Monster, we talk about her albums, the questionable accents on House of Gucci, and, of course, her performance on Joker 2. So grab your Chromatica Oreos, roll up your hair and put your lipstick on, and prepare for a Gaga deep dive that will leave you speechless, if not a bit confused, and craving the finest Italian food Manhattan has to offer.

All aboard! On the debut episode of Yapping, Samir and Petar delve into the marvelous and tantalizing world of pop girlies and all the conspiracy theories that surround them. From Britney Spears being cloned, Taylor committing vehicular manslaughter (and hinting at it in her lyrics), to the Albanian mafia secretly running modern pop music, we talk about it all... At least, all the interesting theories. Disclaimer, we don't actually believe any of these theories are true. But in case you do, here are 7 useful tips to know whether your fav girlie is up to something shady (and not the good kind...):

1. Follow the breadcrumbs... in the lyrics! Maybe it's not metaphorical, maybe it’s a confession. Dive deep into Taylor Swift’s discography for clues about her (alleged) hit and run.

2. Island hopping or something deeper? Why does Dua Lipa post so many vacation photos anyway?

3. Industry plants and money laundering - If a pop girl unexpectedly gets a hit out of nowhere and sells out stadiums with barely anyone actually attending, check for signs of money laundering.

4. If your favorite pop girlie suddenly gets involved in controversy every time the current US president is involved in a scandal, make sure the CIA isn't using her as a way to distract the public from the next potential Watergate!

5. A pop girlie’s flop era is never an accident—it’s a calculated move. Analyze why Katy Perry chose Witness to be her flop album. And Smile. And 143.

6. Stan wars or psyop? While your average 16 year old might make a shady comment about his fav outselling yours, check to make sure these accounts aren't botted to drive up engagement leading up to said fav's next release!

7. The Great TikTok Phenomenon: Why do so many pop songs suddenly go viral on TikTok? While the app may not actually have ties to the CCP after all, it could always be the Illuminati (orchestrated by Beyoncé, of course).

If you follow these 7 simple guidelines, you can be assured that you'll become an expert conspiracy analyst in no time!
