We're kicking off a new season of our news-review show Daddy Issues! with a mega Dads of Summer edition, reviewing all of the patriarchal highs and low-lows that defined our last 3 months. From "bloated-to-loaded" theories around Ben Affleck and J.Lo's reunion, to why Kanye West is lighting himself on fire in front of his small children, to Hunter Biden's fake art career, the fall of disgraced former New York governor and fan of normal hugs and kisses Andrew Cuomo, to the end of the US staying out of our collective uteri - it’s in here. We also celebrate Mike White's dad-centric tour-de-satire White Lotus, and pay tribute to Mandy Patinkin’s hot and wholesome TikTok. Matt also reads aloud of newly freed Bill Cosby's horrible 1987 bestseller "Fatherhood," and we continue to beat the Free Britney drum under the pale moonlight. We live in hell but we love you. We're so happy to be back with you for a new season to process why we’re like this.
