Y'all What The Fu*k?

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 arou...

This week, we unpack the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela before diving into the shocking prison sentences handed down to anti-ICE protesters in Texas and what they could mean for the future of free speech, protest, and civil liberties in America. We also discuss Zohran Mamdani's latest political victories, New York City's new two-year rent freeze, and why grassroots candidates continu...

This week, we celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago and unpack why the moment felt so different from today's political climate. From celebrity-filled optimism and presidential nostalgia to the strange rehabilitation of George W. Bush's image, we explore how public memory, media narratives, and social media shape the stories we tell ourselves about politics, powe...

This week, we accidentally become sports commentators. We react to Trump getting booed at the NBA Finals, Taylor Swift’s courtside appearance, and the reality that championship tickets now cost more than many people make in months. Then we dig into the growing controversy surrounding the World Cup, including reports of athletes, referees, and fans facing visa delays, extra screening, and travel re...

This week's episode is arriving a little later than planned thanks to a neighborhood-wide internet outage that reminded us just how dependent we are on the digital gods. But we're back online and ready to complain about the internet, corporations, AI, and reality television—as nature intended. This week, we're talking about Pride Month, corporate allyship, and the suspicious lack of ra...

This week, we unpack another bizarre “assassination attempt” surrounding Donald Trump, the Freedom 250 concert fallout, and the internet’s collective joy after Stephen Miller got called exactly what many people were already thinking. We also get into why Hasan Piker has become such a target, how influencer politics and dark money are shaping online discourse, and why blindly trusting anyone with a...

This week, we’re talking about the bizarre convergence of politics, propaganda, and pop culture exhaustion. We break down Jasmine Crockett, AIPAC influence in U.S. politics, Ireland and Palestine discourse online, celebrity activism, and the growing feeling that the internet is flattening every serious global issue into content. Along the way, we spiral into conspiracy territory with men in masks,...

This week, we’re talking about what it actually means to build a society around care instead of control. We break down Mamdani’s balanced New York City budget, why grassroots politics are giving people hope again, and what it would look like to invest in communities before harm happens instead of only reacting after the fact. From lobbying and labor rights to hyper-surveillance, burnout, and wheth...

This week, we’re talking about the systems quietly reshaping American life—from racist redistricting in Memphis to the slow erosion of public trust in institutions, expertise, and science itself. We unpack the politics behind representation, why conspiracy thinking is filling the vacuum left by failing institutions, and how fear spreads faster than facts in an online world built for outrage. Natur...

This week, we’re diving into a heavy mix of politics, power, and perception. We unpack the Supreme Court’s move against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and what it could mean for representation moving forward, while also questioning why figures like Jill Stein keep becoming scapegoats instead of focusing on the systems actually making these decisions. Along the way, we get into media narratives, pol...

This week, we’re asking a big question: are we being lied to? We get into the growing tension around Iran, the way media shapes what we see (and what we don’t), and how hard it’s getting to trust the information coming at us from every direction. From AI and historical memory to the feeling that reality itself is getting harder to pin down, we unpack what it means to stay informed in a moment that...

This week, we start with the global headlines that feel impossible to ignore—from escalating conflict with Iran to the emotional toll of trying to stay informed in a constant state of crisis. We talk about media trust, fear, and what it means to process events that feel both urgent and overwhelming in real time. Then we zoom in on culture and the internet: lookmaxxing, incel pipelines, and the gro...

This week… was not a chill one. We start with the moment that completely stopped us in our tracks: a sitting U.S. president posting that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” From there, we unpack the emotional whiplash of that message, the global reaction, and the unsettling reality of living in a time where rhetoric and action feel dangerously intertwined. We get into the chaos that followed—...

This week, we’re starting with a big one: our official podcast launch. We reflect on putting ourselves out there, the fear (and excitement) of being perceived, and what it means to create something in real time—plus how we want to bring more context, learning, and curiosity into these conversations moving forward. Then we dive into a heavy week of headlines—from Supreme Court rulings on conversion...

This week, we’re unpacking a wild mix of politics, power, and pop culture. We talk through the SAVE Act, new Olympic policies targeting transgender athletes, and the growing presence of ICE in airports—plus what all of it says about control, access, and who gets targeted first. Then we pivot into the lighter side of the week: Druski’s Erika Kirk parody, Disney backing away from AI, and RuPaul’s Ka...

Welcome to our very first “Get to Know Us” episode—where we, Bobbi and Margaret, pull back the curtain, introduce ourselves, and set the tone for everything to come. We dive into where we’re from, how we met, and the experiences that shaped who we are today. From unpacking identity and bias to debating Disney (yes, it gets real), this conversation moves between the personal, the cultural, and the...
