Happy “Nuclear Family Month!” How Some States Are Hijacking Pride Jun 28, 2026

Show notes

We’re recording this episode as we get ready to celebrate the annual Pride March here in New York City, a huge parade steeped in history, going back to the 1969 police raid on the Stonewall on this very date, June 28th. But did you know that Pride Month isn’t recognized nationally this year, nor any year where a Republican is president, going back to 1999 when Pride month was first established by President Clinton. In fact, several states have even chosen counter programming for the month, labeling June as Nuclear Family Month, Strong Families Month, or even Fidelity Month.

Love Island Love Lessons: Why Won’t You Believe In Love #brinity #toogoodtobetrue Jun 27, 2026

Show notes

So many people are skeptical of the love story that brought us to tears last night: watching Bryce and Trinity reuniting after pining away for one another in Casa Amor. Come on, how could they each fake those tearful confessionals apart? How could they know what the other was feeling or thinking, and when would they have had a private space to come up with a plan? Nah, we believe in their slow burn friendship turned romance and we are rooting for them to the very end.

'Love Island' Love Lessons: Why Nice Guys Finished Last #Carl Jun 27, 2026

Show notes

During last night’s recoupling, we saw the girls each praise the Casa Amor man they coupled up with, some even saying they were the “perfect man.” Then we heard Melanie, Kayda and Aniya all criticize the boy they had been coupled up with, talking about the hurt and distrust they felt for them. But when decision time came, they all dumped the nice guys, the men who they said all made them feel seen and validated. Amy and T.J. talk about why it seems, nice guys always finish last.

Stay tuned for our next episode, where T.J. explains why K.C. dumped sweet Aniya for Titi.

Love Island (EP 21): Best Episode Ever (Amy) I Might Be Done (T.J.) Jun 27, 2026

Show notes

Last night’s episode was arguably the most explosive, entertaining one yet! There was laughter, tears and drama from the islanders as Casa Amor and the Villa reunited and the recoupling ceremony ended with a bang. We go over our favorite moment… duh, Bryce and Trinity for the win, and what we think about KC’s decision to dump Aniya and bring TiTi to the villa.

Love Island (EP 20): Alannah Has Left Casa Amor; Casa Amor Left Kayda In Tears Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

20 minutes into last night’s Love Island episode, the narrator made a brief announcement saying only that Alanna had left Casa Amor. And that was it, no explanation. Fans of the show have been demanding her removal following video that surfaced of 21-year-old Alannah Keyser singing the “n-word” to camera, along with several concerning posts where she also uses the racial slur. Meantime, the other big headline from episode 20: We all just fell a little more in love with Bryce and Trinity. Can they just go ahead and claim their prize? They have emerged as the couple to beat, especially after a photo card was delivered to each villa showing the boys and the girls behaving questionably with the bombshells. The episode ended with Kayda inconsolably crying, along with Melanie, and the boys rightfully worried about what will happen for the recoupling tonight.

Taylor Swift Has Rented Out MSG, Hmmmmmm Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

For weeks there has been non-stop speculation about where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will tie the knot. From Rhode Island to Lake Cuomo to New York City, fans and journalists have been trying to figure out where the wedding of the year will take place. With Swift and Kelce the closest thing to American royalty, leave it to The New York Times to confirm that Swift has rented out the Garden for the Fourth of July weekend, complete with permits for street closures as the city celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, Fleet Week and a World Cup Game that weekend. We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait!

Love Island (EP 19): Go Ahead And Call It “Orgy Island” Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

Just when it didn’t seem possible that Love Island producers could sexualize the Islanders any more, they introduced another challenge that quickly divulged into a barely clothed orgy on national television. One contestant even apologized to her parents afterwards…. We’re really hoping for their sakes, they fast forwarded through the segment. Looking beyond the growing ick factor of the show, there were some incredibly interesting developments in several relationships, with a couple of the boys continuing to pine away for their girls back home. And then there’s Corbin and Kenzie, who seem very satisfied in their new couples, with poor Caleb, who once again finds himself in a love triangle with Corbin. Who will recouple with someone new, and who will stay in their original couple? We make our predictions.

Love Island (EP 18): Alannah Survives For Now, 6 Bombshells Dumped Jun 23, 2026

Show notes

So far, not a word from Peacock about the fate of bombshell Alannah Keyser, who many fans are demanding be dumped from the show after video surfaced of her singing the N-word on social media. While she seems pleasantly coupled up with Zach, the ladies have narrowed down their Casa Amor newbies from 12 to 6, but it remains unclear if any love connections are actually forming at the Villa. Meantime, the men are split, with half of them fully exploring and seemingly enjoying their new women. However, Bryce was moved to tears and Sincere mused about missing their ladies back home. Melanie and Aniya also admitted to missing their men, but that is setting up a hell of a mess with KC, who seems to be extremely content with his new lady Tierra.
