    On today's episode:

    1. As you know, last week marked the final season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Now that we’ve had some time to process the “end of an era,” we’re taking a look back at the show that changed pop culture as we know it -- as well as the legacy that remains.

    But will Generation Z continue to care about the family's empire? Or will they be too busy scrolling through TikTok? Joining us to talk about the past, present, and future of all things Kardashian is The Ringer's tech & culture writer Alyssa Bereznak. Her recent piece, “An Industry Grows in Calabasas,” breaks down how one family revamped the entire concept of celebrity -- and why they eventually became "old school."

    2. Chrissy Teigen apologized, again, for her history of cyberbullying and harassment.

    3. Lin-Manuel Miranda is also sorry -- acknowledging the Lack Of Dark-Skinned Afro-Latino Actors in In The Heights.
