In this episode, Meghana chooses to talk about k-pop, but as a geopolitical force and not as a genre. Phoebe derails the conversation by talking about Beyblade: Metal Saga as if they're still in sixth grade. Meghana disses astrology and wonders if it's Pluto or Mercury that can be in retrograde (it's both). They both say things they will 100% be attacked for, but please don't attack them unless they said something factually incorrect, in which case please link sources.
