In politics, we unpack the Democratic Party’s condemnation of the Democratic Socialists of America while seemingly turning a blind eye to the recent disrespect directed at Senate nominee Angie Nixon. Then, in pop culture, we try to understand how anyone could believe alleged scammer Daejon Love and untangle Raven-Symoné’s increasingly confusing takes on identity. Join us...

July 20, 2026 Ep 504. Breakups Aren't a Failure, I'm Grateful
In this week’s episode, Shanti enters the teenage version of the “terrible twos,” while Antoinette discovers that a fully booked summer. Oddly enough, we agree with J.Lo’s recent take on relationships, debate Young Miami’s lyrics and India.Arie’s thoughts on mainstream music, and ask whether the sounds we consume truly influence us, or whether we only care when the message makes us uncomfortable. Finally, we discuss the irony of biohacker Bryan Johnson receiving a recent diagnosis after dedicating millions of dollars to not dying. Join us...
