Should Girl Dads Be Allowed in the Women's Restroom?
I wasn't sure about doing this episode because I wasn't sure how I felt about the situation. I had a gut reaction, and then that gut reaction went up against other beliefs I hold and felt contradictory. And then I just got stressed. BUT WE PERSEVERE. A dad took his two young daughters into an empty women's restroom at a QuikTrip during a Florida-to-Oklahoma road trip, and the internet had a lot to say about it. I figured some of you might feel as conflicted as I did, so let's walk through the commentary together — maybe by the end we'll have actually landed somewhere.

Women Are Having Kids With Their Gay Best Friends Instead of Getting Married
Women and gays are ditching finding love, and instead opting for "platonic co-parenting." That sent me down a rabbit hole of all these weird co-parenting relationships that are happening right now.

God Moved A Storm For UFC Freedom 250
After watching everyone come together to support Freddy and all the World Cup fans, I went into this weekend HYPED. Knicks winning the NBA Finals for the first time in 53 years, USA beating Paraguay, and UFC's 250th birthday party. GOOD weekend to be a sports fan in America. UNLESS you're Jane Fonda, Miss Rachel, and an off-key activist choir counter-programming the UFC event.

How One Man's FEEDER Fetish Turned Into a Cult

The D'Amelios Used Charli to Get Famous & She's Had Enough

World Cup Tourists Are Going Viral For Loving America
I - like most of the internet now - am obsessed with Freddy the German soccer fan who is road tripping across America and documenting his experiences on X. This might be more genuinely unifying and patriotic than anything coming out of America250, and it’s a great rebuttal to people who look down their noses at our country and claim we have no culture.

McJuggerNuggets Faked His Entire Life For Views. Did He Fake This Too?
Last week, an OG YouTuber announced that he and his wife chose to abort their baby after they were told that he had a high likelihood of being born with Down Syndrome. And the way that this man went about documenting the pregnancy and subsequent abortion was so callous and disgusting that people now think he made up the ENTIRE thing just to revive his YouTube career. Or it could be that after 20 years on the internet, he and his family are just that numb to exploiting and monetizing their lives. Regardless, I think we need to answer the question of whether he should ACTUALLY be a father. Let’s talk about it.

Toxic Masculinity Saved This Flight
A passenger on a Frontier flight from Miami to Puerto Rico started attacking crew members mid-flight, until an MMA fighter stepped in and saved the day.

TikTok Declared War on a Nashville Coffee Shop
Guys, WHAT DO YA KNOW there is DRAMA going down on TikTok. But this time it’s not between celebrities or influencers. It’s between small business owners and their customers. And as I was watching all of this discourse go down - while obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinions and a small business isn’t immune from criticism- it just made me so sad. And this story feels less about this one particular small business and more about people piling onto people they don’t know just because it feels good. Do they have a point? Maybe, and we will talk about it. But this is just a reminder of how pervasive the mob mentality can be online.

YouTubers Are Taking Over Hollywood
YouTubers are proving small-budget films can outperform Hollywood's biggest franchises — A24's Backrooms and Obsession have shattered box office expectations while The Mandalorian and Grogu bombed. Maybe the future of cinema isn't in studio recycling, but in creators brave enough to do something new.

Private Equity Is Erasing The Cities We Love
People ask me if I like living in Nashville, and honestly? I kind of shrug. We live outside of Nashville intentionally, and I struggle to answer because I don't really know what Nashville's identity is anymore. I don't think it does either. That's a growing trend in rapidly expanding Sunbelt cities — Denver, Austin, and Houston. They've become homogenous caricatures of themselves, where everything from the architecture to the businesses has what one author called "unbearable sameness." Main Street USA is effectively gone. So who's to blame?

Stephen Colbert Became Exactly Who He Got Famous For Mocking
Tonight CBS will air the last episode of Stephen Colbert's Late Night Show. People on both sides of the aisle are quick to blame politics and gloat, but honestly, it all just makes me sad.

Is Alex Cooper Intentionally Leading Her Audience Astray?
Alex Cooper just announced that she is expecting her first baby with her husband Matt Kaplan, and it set the internet ablaze for a myriad of reasons.
