This week, we’re deep in the Ed Sheeran/Macklemore saga as the fallout over Palestine keeps getting messier. We break down Ed’s statement, the supporting acts who walked away from his tour, Robert Kraft getting dragged into the drama, and the bigger conversation around celebrities, money, power, and what it actually means to use your platform. We also get into Matthew Lillard’s apology for not supporting Melissa Barrera, celebrity accountability, and whether we’re watching a larger shift in how people engage with fame.

Plus, we’re talking Mitch McConnell’s return to the Senate, U.S. funding for Israel, the ethics of taking jobs within problematic systems, Converse’s bizarrely KKK-coded ad, Jasmine Crockett honoring Chris Brown, and our ongoing thoughts on celebrity culture and politics. Then we head into Bravo and reality TV, including the new celebrity cast of The Traitors — featuring Bianca Del Rio, Bronwyn, Cythnia Bailey, Gizelle Bryant, Kristen Chenoweth, Craig Conover, and more. It’s a long one, so settle in.

This week, we're unpacking the new information surrounding the air-quality crisis following 9/11 and the decades-long consequences for people who were exposed. We also get into Trump's latest $5,000 promise to voters, political grifts, and the strange attempt by the RNC to embarrass Hasan Piker with a very… flattering photo. Plus, we're talking about Pink's recent comments about Palestine and the larger conversation around celebrity accountability, cancel culture, and whether we actually owe our attention—and our dollars—to the people we support.

Then we dive into the AI panic and the whistleblowers suddenly sounding the alarm, the ethics of technological advancement, jobs, regulation, and what a more human-centered future could look like. We also talk about the new iPhone, cobalt mining and forced labor in the Congo, and the bigger problem of consumerism before heading into pop culture. We're checking in on The Real Housewives of New York, debating whether we're sticking with the reboot, revisiting Big Brother after Jason's eviction, and looking ahead to the new season of The Traitors. It's a long one, so settle in and come talk about the mess with us.

This week, we're talking about the people who are actually trying to change things—from Ted Cruz's progressive teenage daughter trolling her dad online to Vivian Musk breaking generational curses, AOC endorsing Angie Nixon, and Hassan Piker becoming an increasingly powerful force in progressive politics. We get into why establishment Democrats seem completely incapable of understanding the power of online audiences, grassroots candidates, and political influencers, plus local politics, performative activism, the Handmaid's Tale protest at Grand Central, and the rise of vigilantes—including our favorite neighborhood Spider-Man. Then, because apparently we can't go an entire episode without talking about billionaires, we get into the upcoming Elon Musk documentary, whether there's any humanity left behind all that money and power, and why ending world hunger apparently wasn't enough of a priority. We also have to discuss Beyoncé's $948 wooden box, expensive celebrity merch, the importance of being willing to change your mind when you get new information, and finally, what we're watching right now—including Big Brother and Glee.

This week, we're talking about morals, money, and what we're willing to stand up for. We break down Luigi Mangione's guilty plea and the reaction surrounding his case, surveillance and conspiracy theories, and the story of a Burger King employee who lost her job after saying "Free Palestine." We also dive into influencer and celebrity culture, from Jules LeBron's dental GoFundMe to Perez Hilton, forgiveness, and Hollywood's growing obsession with thinness, body image, and eating disorders.

Plus, we're discussing former NBA players trying to enter the WNBA, the ongoing fight over trans athletes in sports, the new Harry Potter casting, and whether it's possible to separate nostalgia from the values behind the franchise.

This week, we're talking politics, pop culture, and everything in between.

Then we're getting into some Heated Rivalry casting controversy, the latest Marvel/X-Men casting news (including Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Beast, and the ever-anticipated Storm casting), Pedro Pascal's celebrity inner circle, and whether Big Brother has finally given us a reason to start watching again.

Plus, we're officially starting a book club! We're kicking things off with Children of Blood and Bone as we get ready for the upcoming film adaptation. Come read along with us!

This week, we're checking in on the ongoing mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell's absence before diving into the future of the Democratic Party, Michigan's closely watched Senate primary, progressive candidates, and why so many voters are pushing back against establishment politics. We also discuss Trump's decision to withhold billions in federal funding from blue states, digital privacy after a traveler used a "duress password" during a TSA search, and Texas' sweeping new THC laws.

Then we switch gears for a deeper conversation about Children of Blood and Bone and the growing controversy surrounding the film adaptation. We unpack author Tomi Adeyemi's decision to distance herself from the movie, the casting debate, creative control, and the complicated balance between supporting Black stories, supporting authors, and recognizing the realities of adapting books for Hollywood.

Finally, we wrap things up in the Big Brother house, breaking down this week's strategy, shifting alliances, Jason's gameplay, and why this season keeps getting messier by the episode.

This week, we're covering everything from Donald Trump's latest comments about a potential third term to the ongoing Taylor Farms food safety controversy and what it means for the produce on grocery store shelves. We also dive into the bigger conversations surrounding politics, corporate influence, and why public trust in institutions continues to erode.

Then we lighten things up with a trip into pop culture, discussing the latest Marvel news, sharing our thoughts on Big Brother, and kicking off our watch-through of Canada's Drag Race Season 1. From unforgettable queens to first impressions and franchise comparisons, there's plenty to unpack.

This week, we're talking about the stories that had us asking who our institutions are really serving. We break down Congress approving another $3 billion in aid to Israel, why local elections matter just as much as the presidency, and why we're on the hunt for our own "local Mamdanis." We also catch up on the latest developments in the Strait of Hormuz, discuss Florida's move away from ABA accreditation for lawyers, and why weakening oversight in the name of "freedom" feels like a dangerous trend. Plus, we somehow end up talking about Etsy witches, digital protection spells, and whether the internet might need a little more magic after all.

Then it's time for the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars finale! We recap every lip sync, celebrate Joey J's incredible run, unpack why Crystal Method was the right queen to take the crown, and reflect on one of our favorite All Stars seasons in recent memory.

This week, we're diving into a packed week of headlines—from the fallout surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding guest list to the latest speculation surrounding Mitch McConnell and the political stories dominating the news cycle. We also unpack the renewed Iran blockade, what it could mean for gas prices, and why a nationwide parasite outbreak is highlighting the consequences of public health funding cuts.

Plus, we discuss the Yellowstone bison that launched an unsuspecting tourist into the air (Barry the Bison, we support your boundaries), share some practical wildlife safety tips, and, of course, end the episode where we belong: obsessing over RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 11. We break down the post-merge chaos, the talent show performances, and all the drama that's making this season... confusing.

Grab a snack (maybe skip the lettuce), settle in, and join us for another week of news, pop culture, and plenty of laughs.

This week, we're asking a simple question: what exactly were we celebrating this Fourth of July? We reflect on why the holiday felt different this year, discuss Zohran Mamdani's speech on what America could be, and unpack everything from the Empire State Building climbers to why grassroots organizing may matter more than performative politics. We also get into the growing conversation around celebrity responsibility, including Taylor Swift's silence, the idea of complicity, and why the "I'm just an innocent bystander" narrative becomes harder to believe the bigger your platform gets.

Then we shift into pop culture, where we're breaking down another standout week of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. From Joey J's return and the emotional Story Hour challenge to alliance drama, lip syncs, and our ongoing frustration that Joey keeps getting overlooked, there's a lot to unpack. We also correct ourselves on last week's Ladies of London rumors (because accountability matters!), talk Bravo, and share why this season of Drag Race might be one of the strongest we've seen in a long time.
