Ep. 14 – Taylor Swift and the Chiefs, Why Elmo is so Angry, and a Basketball Collision!
In this episode, we dive into the divisive devotion and disdain for Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs’ competitive clashes, and the charming chronicles of “Love on the Spectrum,” a series spotlighting the sweet stories of dating with autism. It’s a captivating conversation crammed with contrasts, from pop culture passions, to football frenzies and heartfelt human connections. (Whew!) In BEST TRENDS, Elmo is trending… and not in a good way. Is Elmo anti-semitic? Does he just need a good tickling? We talk about the NFL Playoff games and all the hate that’s being pointed to Taylor Swift. I use AI to lip-sync one of her songs, and people are not having it. And I have some AI-generated pictures of me as different playoff mascots. Have you seen the new season of Love on the Spectrum? Thoughts?

Did you get all that? In Best Trends, WWE2K24 is trending… and no, that’s not a new Star Wars character. It’s a video game, so Intern Isaiah is going to fill us in on what’s going on and who made the cover of the game this year. We talk about the NFL Playoffs and ask the controversial question: Is the NFL rigged? There’s some conspiracy theories floating around… with some video evidence and color scheme strangeness.
