Here’s what we tackled:
1. Adriana Smith & Georgia’s Dystopian Abortion Laws
The tragic story of Adriana Smith—a brain-dead woman being kept on life support against her family’s wishes—highlights just how extreme Georgia’s abortion restrictions have become. It’s like the Handmaid’s Tale… except somehow less fictional.
2. David Geffen’s Go-Go Divorce
82-year-old media mogul David Geffen is splitting from his 32-year-old go-go dancer husband. We’re shocked, shocked that marrying someone 50 years younger didn’t work out. True love, meet prenup.
3. At first, Venezuelans supported Trump; however, once his immigration policies began to affect them directly, their support quickly faded.
Now, in a surprising twist, Venezuelan voters in Doral, Florida are beginning to question their MAGA hats—especially as Trump’s promises turn into personal consequences. Trump’s mass deportation plans weren’t supposed to apply to them, right? Spoiler: They do.
4. Salvatore Garau’s Invisible Sculptures
Yes, an Italian artist is selling invisible sculptures. Real money. Fake art. He’s out here living every art major’s dream—and we can’t even get people to pay attention to our podcast.
5. GiveSendGo: The Least Christian “Christian” Site
GiveSendGo claims to be a Christian crowdfunding platform. Unfortunately, they have a client list that reads like a Southern Poverty Law Center watchlist, maybe it’s time for a new mission statement.
6. No Surrender… Except They Did
Meanwhile, a Bruce Springsteen cover band found itself booted from a gig, specifically because The Boss dared to criticize Trump, drawing political lines even in tribute acts.. We guess No Surrender… surrendered.
