This episode is pure pop culture whiplash in the best possible way. We’re unpacking chaotic D-list behavior from Pete Davidson & Spencer Pratt, diving into the end of Stephen Colbert’s late night era, and discussing everything from celebrity baby announcements to Netflix documentaries that fully destabilized my nervous system. We get into the alleged Pete Davidson deadbeat dad discourse, Spencer Pratt’s hilariously unserious mayoral campaign/documentary rollout, and why Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce somehow manage to look both deeply tragic and aggressively cheugy at the same time. Plus: Alex Cooper’s pregnancy announcement, the terrifying state of media consolidation, and my ongoing belief that nobody under the age of 67 is willingly watching television at 11:35 PM.
On the documentary front, we’re talking HBO’s deeply unsettling “The Crash,” the incredibly charming Martin Short documentary, the return of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and the Netflix doc about cyclist Moriah Wilson that I genuinely cannot stop thinking about. There’s also a detour into Leaving Neverland mysteriously disappearing, horrifying true crime reenactment animations, MyFitnessPal publicly humiliating me, and why Coach Kelly screaming at me from DCC might honestly be the only thing capable of fixing my life right now.
