Grace is back with some huge stories. She starts with the world’s quickest recap of recent baseball news to get to the story of the week, maybe year: Shohei Ohtani’s betting scandal. Who did what, what we know, what we don’t, what situations make more sense than others, Grace attempts to make heads and tails of anything and walks away with neither.

Then, Grace gets into the Nex Benedict situation. She gives the basic information of what happened, then discusses what happened, both in the micro and macro sense, to make a child take their own life. And she talks about how we’ve all failed people like Nex, and all kids who feel trapped for being themselves.

Finally, Grace has the most obvious movie minute of all time, and has only great things to say about Rose Glass’ latest.
