Today, as promised, we're doing a pop culture roundup and diving deep into the harrowing implications of some of these stories. First, we take a look at a scene from Netflix's reality dating show "Love Is Blind" in which a contestant argues she would abort her future child if she knew he had Down syndrome. We discuss this type of horrifying eugenics and why it's becoming more and more mainstream. We talk about Jennifer Aniston's recent interview, in which she reveals she struggled with infertility for years, and Nick Cannon's apparent quest to populate the Earth, as he expects his twelfth child with one of his six baby mamas. Then, we discuss a female beauty pageant that awarded its top prize to – you guessed it – a man. We finish off with another round of rating celebrity low-rise jeans.
