Flu Game, News Edition

Aaron, stay home please!

California’s election results are mostly in and the reactions are exactly what you’d expect. Across the pond, Idris Elba officially joins the ranks of the knighted after being honored by King Charles III. In sports, the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks are battling it out to become the 2026 NBA champions, with every game raising the stakes. This week’s watch recommendation is Spider-Noir — a stylish, gritty take on the Spider-Man universe that’s worth adding to your list. Politics, pop culture, basketball, and a little noir detective action — what more could you ask for?  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Brief Intermission

A judge in California finally puts a stop to the Kars4Kids ads, and it is not the reason you think. The internet is not happy with the Kevin Hart Netflix Roast. We cover the NBA Conference Finals — who’s dominating, who’s on the verge of collapsing, and what the Finals matchup could actually look like. Our music tour continues, with the Baby Keem Casino concert. To close it out, we’ve got your May watch list lined up with the live-action Netflix One Piece and Man on Fire Netflix series — two very different vibes, but both worth the watch. Catch up with us.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Could’ve Called It!

This week, the government signs off on a casual $70 billion ICE budget like it’s light work, relationships are dropping, and Apple is switching CEOs in September—because even trillion-dollar companies need a refresh. NBA Playoffs are already doing the most in Round 1, Kehlani drops a self-titled album. We still squeezed in a show pick: The Pitt — Season 1… because we’re a little late to Season 2. A little bit of everything, per usual. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

On a Tuesday?

Artemis II is pushing things out of this world while everything down here feels like it’s spiraling. The UK Wireless Festival gets scrapped, Oracle Corporation sends out 6am layoff emails like it’s routine, and Rory McIlroy goes back-to-back at The Masters Tournament like it’s nothing. Karol G shuts down Coachella making history, being the first Latina to close out the festival. This week we're recommending The Expanse - pressure, power, and space. Space missions, real-world chaos, and a little escape — tap in.   ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
