This week on This Might Start a Fight, we get into the one thing the internet keeps revealing about all of us: we're desperate for joy. From the chihuahua running with a wolf pack to the pig who escaped a meat truck and made it back to her babies, we unpack why these AI videos have us abandoning all forms of critical thinking.

We also break down the Love Is Blind: Denver reunion (finally) and the latest MAFS Austin chaos. Mike unpacks the NBA sports-betting scandal and why a gambling ad during ESPN's coverage made him spiral. Ishea enters her 'Yes Theory' era and gets into how sumo wrestlers briefly restored her faith in humanity. Then we circle back to that hug… because we had a few questions and a lot of theories.

Welcome to our weekly spiral.

Took us a week to get this one out because time isn't real anyway. Ishea and Mike talk Love Is Blind, break down Married at First Sight: Chicago, and unpack what might be the worst lie ever told on reality TV. Haunted houses, Brad Pitt's pretty privilege, and Mount Everest being the millennial midlife crisis. Business as usual.

Nick's cabin, boiled chicken shakes, bathroom gossip, and a little digital meth—welcome back to the chaos.

This week on This Might Start a Fight, Ishea and Mike spiral through the latest Love Is Blind mess with a little brain rot and a lot of opinions.

We get into Mike's full-blown bromance with Nick's cabin (he's a Nick apologist now), Edmond's cabinet moment, Anton's friend and his bathroom-gossiping MVP girlfriend, and Jordan's boiled chicken shake situation (yes, it's exactly as bad as it sounds). Plus, Patrick's broke-energy ring request and a quick detour into TikTok vs. Xiaohongshu.

Basically: Love Is Blind chaos meets our chronically online brains, with one timeless takeaway… bathroom gossip saves lives.

Welcome to the very first episode of This Might Start a Fight 🎉

Mike and Ishea are finally putting their nightly scroll sessions and group chat debates on the mic. This isn't a podcast chasing clickbait or clout—we're here to actually talk our shit, challenge ideas, and have fun while we do it.

In Episode 1, we spiral through Love Is Blind: Denver (toe sucking, diabolical reveals, and all), share what's currently rotting our brains, and unpack the bizarre tourism economy of Mount Everest—where a thousand people are currently stranded.

Come for the reality TV takes, stay for the unexpected side quests.
