Coachella Isn't a Music Festival… It's a Brand Activation

Sasa and Julia are back with their hottest take yet — Coachella isn't a music festival anymore. It's a two-weekend brand activation event with a musical festival attached. And honestly? The receipts back it up.
This week on GlowJob, we're going deep on all things Coachella 2026. We break down the chaos: from Anyma's last-minute set cancellation due to 40 mph desert winds, to the wave of influencers posting sob stories about canceled brand trips (and why the whole thing might be fake). We also get into the Airbnb price gouging ($900 for a laundry room with a blow-up mattress?!), and Starbucks' controversial debut as official coffee sponsor with their "Desert Sirens" influencer house.
On the brand side, we break down who won Coachella 2026 and why: from Rhode, Sol de Janeiro, Method, and KOSAS. 
The uncomfortable conclusion? The music might officially be the least economically valuable part of a music festival.

1 in 5 Americans Are in a Relationship With AI

One in five Americans are now using AI chatbots for romantic relationships… and the number jumps to 53% when you include emotional connections. In this episode of GlowJob, Sasa and Julia break down the AI dating phenomenon: who's actually doing it (hint: it's not just lonely single guys), why 93% of people fall into it accidentally, and what the science says about why our brains can't tell the difference.
Julia & Sasa break down: the woman who literally married her ChatGPT boyfriend in front of her parents, why the companies building these products have zero incentive to stop, and debate whether AI relationships are actually filling a real void in our loneliness epidemic — or making it way worse. 
This is not a niche tech story. This is a cultural shift... and nobody's talking about it.

Why He Wants “Exclusive” But Not a Relationship

Dating is a mess right now. Let’s just say it.
In this episode, we sit down with Josie from The Everygirl to unpack what’s actually going on in modern dating — from situationships and ghosting to the rise of “exclusive" but not a relationship.
We also debate:
Who should make the first move (and who should pay)
Why “going Dutch” can be a dealbreaker
The psychology behind ghosting
The difference between dating, exclusivity, and being in a relationship
The “taxi cab theory” and why timing matters more than love
Plus, real dating horror stories (including 39 missed calls… yes, really) and the mindset shift that makes dating way less miserable.
If you’ve ever thought, “why is this so hard?” — you’re not alone. Let’s get into it.

This week, we’re unpacking the Oscars fallout around Timothée Chalamet and how it shifted betting markets in real time, the viral Interview Magazine “finance bros” shoot that completely missed the mark, and the rise of AI-generated models as brands start replacing real people with synthetic ones.

Your Protein Bar Is Making You Fat

This week, we’re breaking down one of the most controversial brands in food right now: David Protein.
From a $700M+ valuation to antitrust lawsuits and claims their macros might be completely off—this is the story of how a “perfect” protein bar turned into a legal and scientific mess.
We get into:
The founder behind RXBAR’s second act
The controversial ingredient (EPG) that makes the whole product possible... 
The class action lawsuit claiming their calories are underreported by 83%
And the Epstein file fallout involving Peter Attia, their former Chief Scientific Officer
And despite all of this… the brand is still selling like crazy.
So the real question is:Is David Protein a genius business—or a ticking time bomb?

We Tested Every Dupe So You Don't Have To (Trader Joe's, Ulta & More)

Dupes aren't underground anymore — they're a full business strategy. This week, Julia and Sasa dive deep into the dupe economy: what a dupe actually is in 2026 (hint: it's more than just a cheaper lookalike), how Trader Joe's quietly became one of the biggest beauty dupe players in the game, and which drugstore and mid-range products genuinely hold up against their high-end counterparts. They test 10 product matchups live — from Rhode vs Bubble to Drunk Elephant vs a $7 Trader Joe's oil — and rate each dupe out of 10. Spoiler: one gets a perfect score.
Hosted by Julia Bellary & Sasa Li. New episodes every Monday and Thursday.
