Abigail attended Katy Perry’s Play residency in Las Vegas in 2022 (with F.O.T.P. Alison Sigalow!).

Barry heard that California Gurls was a response to Empire State of Mind by JAY-Z and Alicia Keys (although at first he remembered New York State of Mind by Billy Joel). Abigail, in turn, had always thought of it as Katy Perry’s Back in the U.S.S.R. (which was, in itself, The Beatles’ California Girls). Oh, and we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album.

Abigail compared her complicated feelings around Peacock to her feelings around songs like Kiss N Tell by Kesha. Sonically, Barry compared Peacock to Hey Mickey by Toni Basil. He had previously compared HOT TO GO! to Hey Mickey!

Listen to the absurd radio edit of Peacock.

We spoke briefly about Katy Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl XLIX halftime show and the iconic Left Shark! Abigail then mistakenly remembered a confetti cannon bra from a Katy Perry live performance that was actually a whipped cream bra from the California Gurls music video.

We closed by playing a clip of Katy Perry’s 2024 single WOMAN’S WORLD, which was co-written and produced by alleged sexual and financial abuser Dr. Luke. Watch the music video if you are so inclined!
