Tefi Pessoa: Club Rats, Cuffing Season & Cancel Culture

This week, Olivia sits down with one of the internet’s sharpest and funniest voices on pop culture - Tefi Pessoa. Best known for her podcast Tefi Talks with The Cut and her advice column Ask Tefi, her blend of humour and honesty has made her a fan favourite. This episode dives straight into chaos- The pair bond over their club-rat roots, swapping Miami nightlife stories and laughing at Tefi’s shock at being expected to pay for her own drink when she first moved to New York. Tefi delivers her trademark take on cultural madness, from celebrity theatrics to online obsessions, while reflecting on some of the most iconic moments of 2025 so far. They also get candid about beauty, ageing and aesthetic procedures, exploring the pressures women face, the rise of greedy injectors, and Olivia’s self proclaimed 'frankfurter-lip' phase. Tefi shares her unconventional journey into hosting, including the wild move that helped land her first talk-show role, and they dive into modern dating, the chaos of cuffing season, and why astrology can explain everything.
