That’s sexist, actually! And then, let’s take you back to October 2018, and the biggest story in Australia then: were we too harsh on the Honey Badger?

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS:

Lukewarm takes, and then… Egg! On! Us! Cast your minds back to the beginning of 2023: Penn Badgley said in a podcast episode that he finds sex scenes in TV shows troublesome, and feels like they’re not necessarily fair to his wife. Obviously, we had thoughts! But the real question is… do we agree with them now?

Coming up on today’s show: Sandra Bullock was at the height of her career in 2010.

MONDAY ANALYSIS:

Coming up on today’s show: is reality TV…regressing? In light of all the headlines surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul and the future of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, we wanted to ask the question: is reality TV in 2026 harkening back to the wild, lawless world of 2000s reality TV?

The 49ers blog post that piqued Zara’s interest! Then, the headlines we’ve been given after Taylor and Travis’s wedding that aren’t a bloody photo.
