It’s the Fourth of July and freedom feels more like a chisme than a promise—so we’re celebrating with snacks, shade, and a healthy dose of side-eye. This week, Chibbi and Rooster tear into the bullshit burrito that is American pride in 2025: a mess of tax breaks for billionaires, the nation of sad, lonely men, and Supreme Court rulings that feel more like Supreme Clownery.

We talk Lady Gaga vs. the haters, defend Katy Perry from the haters, and wonder if “time and place” even exists on the internet anymore. Also: free phones, fascist vibes, and ask if American pride is just another excuse for fascism-lite. Plus: the return of free (not pay) phones, Colin Allred’s maybe-maybe-not comeback, and why the THC industry is dividing Republican Legislators.
