In this jam-packed episode, we dive into the headlines, the hot takes, and the heated debates taking over pop culture and beyond. We react to the heckling and attention Sydney Sweeney continues to get after her American Eagle ad and break down the mixed reactions to Brock Lesnar’s controversial return to WWE. We also take a turn to discuss the chilling Netflix documentary, Amy Bradley Is Missing, and what makes her case so haunting.

Then, it’s debate time: McDonald’s vs. Burger King – who really serves the better food? Are 7-3 work hours better than the classic 9-5 grind? And who has better music? — Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel?

We also talk about underrated gestures like giving someone flowers, and we close it all out by asking: what’s your most controversial opinion?
