Rape Adjacent “Stealthing” Is NOT A Crime In America, Even Though It’s Considered A Form Of Sexual Battery Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

The term “stealthing” is making headlines after Maine Democrat and Senatorial Candidate Graham Platner has been accused by an ex-girlfriend of repeatedly removing condoms without her consent during sex. We did a deep dive on the subject and were fascinated and frustrated by the lack of recognition from lawmakers in this country about NCCR: Nonconsensual condom removal. Several countries around the world have strict, criminal code on stealthing, categorizing it as a “rape adjacent” crime. Right now, only a handful of states allow victims to pursue civil damages, but not a single jurisdiction in this country considers stealthing a crime.

Love Island (EP 31): Situationship Vs Exclusive Dating Vs Boyfriend/Girlfriend Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

While the girls went off to play at a Fiji waterpark, the boys at the villa went to work setting up a scavenger hunt for K.C. to ask a very important question to Titi. Sure, it looked like the ladies had a blast, but there was growing tension between Kayda and Trinity: a heated back and forth played out throughout the episode on how to exactly define Zach and Kayda’s relationship, is it a situationship or not? The differing labels left Kayda in tears defending their “exclusive dating” status, while K.C. cut through all the label BS and asked Titi to be his girlfriend. It was an adorable girlfriend proposal that ended with Titi in tears of joy (along with the rest of America).

Brain Dead Or Discussing Iran? Speculation Swirls Around Senator Mitch McConnell Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

There is a concerning level of secrecy surrounding Republican Senator and former leader Mitch McConnell. The 84-year-old Senator has been in the hospital since June 14th after a disturbing 9-1-1 call that suggests McConnell was unconscious and experiencing cardiac arrest. There has been no official word on McConnell’s condition and no explanation as to what he’s being treated for specifically. While there are growing theories that McConnell may be brain dead, or in a vegetative state, several Republicans are now stepping forward detailing phone conversations they’ve had with him about current events, almost as if they’re providing proof of life, without actually providing it.

Another Former Girlfriend Accuses Maine Senate Candidate Of Nonconsensual Sexual Conduct Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Another day, another accusation by a former girlfriend… and yet Maine Democratic candidate Graham Platner has yet to drop out of his bid for the U.S. Senate and a chance to unseat longtime republican incumbent Susan Collins. 41-year-old Lyndsey Fifield told several news outlets that while they were dating, Platner repeatedly removed condoms without her consent while having sex. The act is known as “stealthing” and is considered a crime in multiple countries and states here in the U.S. and is classified as a form of sexual assault. Platner’s camp is vehemently denying the latest accusations, in addition to a former girlfriend’s claims that he raped her while they were dating, saying they are all politically motivated.

Harry Uninvited To Stay At Buckingham Palace Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

We were all so hopeful that finally Prince Harry, Meghan and grandchildren Archie and Lilibet might have a royal reunion with King Charles and family at Buckingham Palace this week. Harry’s camp made the announcement that an invitation had been extended, but shortly afterward, the Palace announced that the Duke of Sussex didn’t respond in time to make the necessary staffing accommodations. Harry’s spokesperson suggested it may be the court decision regarding Harry’s lawsuit against the Daily Mail’s publisher that may be the real reason behind the Palace’s about face, not wanting King Charles in an uncomfortable position. Harry arrived solo in London on Monday, and right now, it’s unclear whether Meghan and the kids will join him later in the week outside of London, given security concerns and the government’s unwillingness to provide taxpayer funded security to the Sussexes.

Love Island (EP 30):“Why Does America Hate Me?” Islanders Spiral After America’s Vote Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

The villa was an emotional wreck after the bottom two couples tried to unpack how and why they ended up being voted least compatible. While Zach and Kenzie looked internally as to what they may have done to irk America, their partners started pointing the finger at others. Kayda was outraged that K.C. and Titi, and Carl and Aniya were in the top 4, given their history and the fact that she and Zach have been together since “day 3.” Dylan started questioning and questioning Kenzie, assuming her exploration in the villa was the cause of their low ranking. And then there was Melanie and Sincere. Melanie now feels like she has permission to love Sincere again after America’s vote, while Sincere took things to a whole new level of love bombing, telling Melanie he wants to marry her and have children with her one day. WTF Sincere.

We Didn’t Believe In A Trump Curse… Until Last Night Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

It was a devastating, and yes, embarrassing loss for the U.S. Men last night as they faced off against Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup. We were the talk of the world for all the wrong reasons for most of the day and certainly in the hours leading up to the match. Many are now pointing to the added pressure from Trump, who placed a call to the FIFA president , which ultimately led to our star striker being allowed to play despite receiving a red card in the previous game. While having Flo Balogun on the field seemed like an advantage, turns out it wasn’t, and perhaps even shifted the team’s energy knowing the world was outraged by it. Some are pointing out several recent sporting events Trump has attended, that have resulted in losses, including Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where the Knicks lost their only game of the series.
