This week, we’re catching up.
Corey shares his take on the growing disconnect between fans and celebrity culture, sparked by a recent moment involving Kylie Jenner and Jake Shane. From parasocial relationships to emotional boundaries, this episode unpacks why people are quietly stepping back and what that really means.
