E352. Ed Sheeran Needs to Apologize for Apologizing - Dumpster Fire
Ed Sheeran got pressured into apologizing to the pro-Palestine mob and ended up crying. Bridget breaks down why he never should have done it, what the rage mob does with an apology, and why Macklemore — a 42-year-old opener who's been in the industry for 26 years and has songs nobody can name — had no business hijacking Ed Sheeran's concert in the first place.

E350. Feminist Meltdown Over Sydney Sweeney - Dumpster Fire
Sydney Sweeney posed naked with a football for a sports betting app and feminists lost their minds. The same women who rallied behind Lindsay Clancy are now attacking a woman for having boobs.

E349. "Never Forget" Is a Dumb Slogan - 9/11 Anniversary - Dumpster Fire
Twenty-five years late, but Bridget has decided she hates the phrase "Never Forget." It's passive, it requires nothing, and we slapped it on a bumper sticker and called it grief. She breaks down why Gen Z's 9/11 memes are Gen X's fault, why we didn't guard the grief well, and why "Never Forget" should have been "Never Forgive." Also: Charlie Kirk's assassination sits one day before 9/11 on the calendar now, and what that means for how we process tragedy in America.

E341. The WNBA Can't Define A Woman And Now Men Are Signing Up - Dumpster Fire
Two former NBA players have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft. One is six-foot-eight and says he "identifies as sometimes identifying as a woman, for purposes of basketball." The WNBA responded by holding a meeting, validating everyone's feelings, and adjourning without a resolution. Bridget breaks down why this was always inevitable, why there's no way to tell the "sincere" trans women from the bad actors, and why that’s always been the point.Â

E340. AOC Wants To Be President And She’s Telling Lies To Get There - Dumpster Fire
AOC has a new name for the last decade of insanity — she's calling it "Woke 1." Bridget breaks down why the woke era didn't start with COVID, why the unwokening is a massive retcon, and why AOC is exactly as radical as she's always been — she just learned to hide it because she's running for president.Â

E339. Normies Won Summer. Commies Won Elections - Dumpster Fire
The normies showed up for everything this summer — and it was exactly what America needed. July 23rd was the biggest travel day in history. Spider-Man broke box office records. Shane Gillis set a Guinness World Record with 73,000 people at a comedy show. Ella Langley beat Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Bridget breaks down the Summer of the Normie, why the doomers were wrong about everything, and why none of it matters if normies don't start paying attention to the DSA quietly winning elections while everyone was tubing down a river.Â

E338. Sophie Cunningham Went Viral For Pointing, Now She's A Culture War Villain - Dumpster Fire
Sophie Cunningham pointed at someone for 22 seconds and became the most talked-about player in the WNBA. Then she said women shouldn't have to play against biological men — and people decided she should die. Bridget Phetasy breaks down how a finger point turned into a culture war, why the WNBA is the last place woke is still fully alive, and why women defending men in women's sports might be the dumbest thing she's ever seen.Â

Following the release of his COVID diary, Anthony Fauci pled the fifth 111 times before Congress.

E336. The Odyssey: Everyone is Mad About the Wrong Things - Dumpster Fire
Bridget went and saw Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey this weekend and has a confession to make — she loved it. Zero pee breaks in a nearly three-hour movie. That’s the highest rating she can give. She breaks down why the culture war around the casting is an idiotic hill to die on, and why the actual controversy nobody’s talking about is 70mm IMAX privilege — that’s what’s really pissing off the white dudes.Â

E335. Dirty Dancing Is A Dumpster Fire - Episode 335
Dirty Dancing was a huge hit when it came out. Everyone remembers the fun and the dancing. It also has a botched back-alley abortion, a 25-year-old male prostitute dancing with a 17-year-old, and a dad who was completely right the whole time. Bridget rewatches the 1987 classic and breaks down why the movie is genuinely insane, why nobody noticed because there was dancing, and why the only reason it became legendary is that the Lift at the end made everyone forget everything else. Nobody remembers the abortion.Â

E334. Even Liberals Are Over The Left - Dumpster Fire
Bill Maher said he might vote for JD Vance. Van Jones told his own party to stop pooping in the punch bowl. And Hasan Piker showed up to the College Democrats convention dressed as Mao. The Left has lost its mind and old school liberals are finally speaking out. Bridget breaks down the DSA takeover of the Democratic Party, why there's no such thing as too far left in America, and why the capitalists funding island bunkers instead of pro-America media are going to regret it. Also: a plea to David Ellison, one hundred million dollars, and a yacht...

E331. The Odyssey Outrage Is Overblown - Dumpster Fire
Christopher Nolan's Odyssey hasn't even come out yet and it's already the most disliked Hollywood trailer since Snow White. Bridget breaks down the casting controversy, why Elon rage-tweeting about a movie he hasn't seen is just as annoying as woke casting, and why the script is a downstream effect the collapsing literacy rates of our youth.Â

E330. Most American Reaction to Losing the World Cup - Dumpster Fire
The US men's soccer team got knocked out of the World Cup by Belgium 4-1, and America responded by immediately going back to not caring about soccer. Bridget breaks down the Balogun red card, Trump calling the president of FIFA, and all the reasons why America will truly never care about soccer the way the rest of the world does. Also: two Russians illegally climbed the Empire State Building, got engaged at the top, and got arrested on the way down. She was raised in the circus. Obviously.Â

E329. What Do You Love About America? - Dumpster Fire
A new CNN poll says only 29% of Democrats are proud to be American. Bridget Phetasy asked her audience what they love about this country — and got hundreds of responses. The four things that came up most: free speech, the founding documents, guns, and the freedom to build your own life. The people who felt it most weren't born here. They were immigrants, refugees, and World Cup tourists who showed up expecting the country the media described and found something completely different. This is Dumpster Fire's love letter to America on its 250th birthday.Â

E328. Supreme Court Detransitions Women’s Sports - Dumpster Fire
Bridget breaks down the Supreme Court Hecox ruling upholding states’ rights to ban biological males from competing in women's sports — and somehow it took nine justices, two lawsuits, and six months to confirm that girls are girls. Also: Supergirl bombed so hard even the pirates didn't bother, and Armie Hammer makes a comeback in a role only an aspiring cannibal could pull off.Â

E327. The Rise of the Anti-American Left - Dumpster Fire 327
The Democratic Socialists of America just swept the New York City primaries, and one winning candidate has said 9/11 was America's fault because of "capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia." Bridget breaks down the new anti-American wing of the Democratic Party, why "democratic socialism" is just socialism wearing a wig, why these aren't just progressive Democrats — they're revolutionaries who openly want to tear down America, and why gentle parenting might be to blame for all of it.Â

E326. Americans Can’t Get Enough World Cup Attention - Dumpster Fire
World Cup fans came to America expecting the worst and left obsessed with free refills, ranch dressing, and Buc-ee's. Bridget breaks down the Great American Sleepover, how we’re basically thirsty thots on Instagram excited that everyone thinks we’re pretty, why Europeans are treating gas stations like religious pilgrimages, and why America now deserves Greenland.Â

E325. Even the Gays Are Over Pride - Dumpster Fire
Americans are suffering from Pride fatigue.

E323. World Cup Tourists Discover Real America - Dumpster Fire
The World Cup is in America and Europeans are losing their minds — in the best possible way. A German named Freddy went tubing down the Chattahoochee, discovered Buc-ee's, watched an eagle fly around a stadium, and declared it the most "European mind can't comprehend" moment of his life. A Swedish woman tried ranch dressing and said it was like crack. Bridget breaks down why watching foreigners fall in love with Real America is the 250th birthday celebration we actually needed — and why we take all of it completely for granted. Also: Tom Brady launched a coconut water brand called Good...
E322. California Made Election Fraud Legal - Dumpster Fire
In California you don't need an ID to vote, ballot harvesting is completely legal, and ballots signed with a smiley face might be counted as valid. Bridget Phetasy breaks down how the LA mayor's race went sideways, why Spencer Pratt went from second place to out, and why none of this is a conspiracy theory — it's just what happens when you make the sketchiest possible voting practices legal and then dare anyone to question it.Â

E321 - Billionaires Are Building Bunkers and Boobs Are Back - Dumpster Fire
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are building a $1.4 billion luxury eco-resort on a Cold War bunker island in Albania — and locals are responding with Molotov cocktails. Bridget breaks down the corruption probe, why Ivanka should not have gone on a podcast to talk about this, and why every billionaire quietly building a bunker on a remote island should maybe read the room. Also: Hunter Biden went viral on X with an AA joke, boobs are officially back, and Spencer Pratt is still in the LA mayor's race, but just barely.Â

E320. America's Big Gay 250th Birthday - Dumpster Fire
America is turning 250 and the birthday party is already a mess — every artist booked for the Freedom 250 celebration dropped out, but don't worry, Vanilla Ice to the rescue. Bridget breaks down what the collapse says about the “vibe shift,” why woke is crawling out of hibernation, and why normie Americans still don't want to be lectured - by anyone. Also: Democrat Graham Platner's never-ending scandals, UFC fights on the White House lawn during Pride Month, and the Donald Trump buffalo in Bangladesh who is apparently Bridget's spirit animal.Â

E319. Thomas Massie Lost and It Wasn't Israel's Fault - Dumpster Fire
Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary by 10 points and immediately blamed Israel. Bridget’s not buying it. She breaks down why Massie lost his own constituents, why Israel derangement syndrome is the new woke, and why the anti-woke comedians who've gone down this road are starting to sound exactly like the people they used to make fun of. Also: Trump trolling the right by saying he'll run for prime minister of Israel.Â

E318. Hasan Piker Won’t Shut Up - Dumpster Fire
Twitch streamer and communist LARPer Hasan Piker has been subpoenaed by the US Treasury over his Cuba trip — and instead of lawyering up, he immediately went on a livestream and started spilling everything. Bridget Phetasy breaks down the Piker legal saga, why the far left has always been allowed to play by different rules, and what it means that Elon's baby mama ended up on a communist's livestream giving away hoodies. Also: a meditation on Podcastistan, the nihilistic slop economy, and why livestreams are the laziest form of entertainment ever invented.Â

Stephen Colbert's Late Show aired its final episode tonight, ending a decade-long run that cost CBS roughly $40 million a year and alienated half the country.

America and China are in the world's most expensive bad marriage — they need each other, they don't trust each other, but it’s too expensive to get divorced. Bridget breaks down Trump's trip to Beijing, the CEO delegation that proves capitalism always wins, the handshake heard round the world, and why the Left would rather Trump spit in Xi's face than narrowly avoid World War III. Elon took pictures like a tourist and Marco Rubio has a new name and a new look.Â

A deadly virus is spreading around the globe. Health officials are scrambling to keep it contained. We’ve seen this movie before and we did not enjoy it. But this time it’s a virus with a 40% mortality rate. Bridget walks us through the hantavirus outbreak, how people are reacting to a potential Pandemic: The Sequel when our trust in our institutions is already shattered, and why the World Cup could be the accelerator event to a catastrophe. Are any of us actually ready to do this again? Definitely not.Â
