Happy Thursday, you pop culture junkies! What a week it’s been and it’s not even Friday! This week, Brooke can’t help but get into the weeds of the Signal chat debacle rocking the U.S. at the moment. 18 of the country’s “finest” intelligence and defense leaders created a war plan group chat while inadvertently including the editor-in-chief of “The Atlantic”. If this were a movie, no one would believe the premise. Let’s play a drinking game of who’s gonna get fired first. While America’s democracy crumbles, we have a viral moment that did briefly tie us all together, Saratoga Water guy! Otherwise known as Morning Routine guy, and Brooke breaks down the viral video and impact. Brooke also talks about the must-read “Teen Vogue” interview of Vivian Wilson, the trans daughter of Elon Musk who wants nothing to do with Elon Musk, and who blames her? We’re right there with you baby! Grab some tea and some headphones and enjoy.
