MONDAY ANALYSIS:  Writer Lindy West has let us into the world of her modern marriage. It made us wonder…do we all know far too much about each other’s relationships?

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: Today, Mich and Zara welcome you to their husbands’ algorithms. And then, some of your dumb dilemmas to unpack!

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: A dry cleaning AYINOSI! And then, you’ve probably seen the video of McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski trying their new burger – it was cringe, to say the least, because, well…. he didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about eating it.

MONDAY ANALYSIS: After the tragic deaths of actors Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, GoFundMe pages were established to ‘support the families,’ and the donations started rolling in. It begs the question: is it okay for celebrities – or families of celebrities – to ask for charity? Is this a case of asking the poor to donate to the rich? And…have we entered an era where being famous no longer equal...

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: Soooo, Obama confessed this week that ALIENS ARE REAL.

MONDAY ANALYSIS: A new round of Epstein files has just been released – around 3.5 million, to be exact.

MONDAY ANALYSIS: We cannot stop thinking about Bryan Johnson’s 800-word tweet about hooking up with his girlfriend. To jog your memory, Bryan Johnson is the multi-millionaire who is sinking his money into one goal: to not die. He’s going to extreme lengths to achieve this, but we wanted to know… what is motivating this guy? Is it altruistic? Or is it just another health and wellness grift? And yes...
