    April 14, 2023 /

🚨Cassadee Pope is back on #TheGistPodcast today 🚨Cassadee Pope is back on #TheGistPodcast today to talk about her return to the pop-punk genre with her incredible new single “People That I Love Leave.” 

We talk about why this project is her most personal, and authentic, one to date. She shares what fans can expect in the future and teases a bit about the music video for the single - coming soon. 🤘

And, of course, we couldn’t help it but talk #Scandoval, BravoCon, and that damn tequila bottle on #RHUGT. Because that’s what besties do. Listen to the full interview now, anywhere you listen to your podcasts!
There is no better person to share their birthday There is no better person to share their birthday with National Banana Day than @lexxyryan (see slide 4). 🍌

She looks beautiful in yellow, she keeps people healthy (she’s a doc, y’all), and she’s been known to get a little ripe at times (see slide 6). And even though she’s a bully 💪, she’s one of my favorite people on the planet. 

Lex, I’m so lucky that @joe__face has you in his life. Mostly because it benefits me, but also because you have a beautiful friendship that most people only dream about. I cannot wait to celebrate you this weekend! “Sex in the City!” 

Happy birthday, Lex! 🎂
