Don't miss
The hosts distinguish between legitimate criticism of Stella Lefty’s alleged musical similarities and an unfair internet pile-on against her personally.
The brief
The hosts return from Labor Day weekend by recapping Surviving Barstool’s finale, praising Roan’s win and debating whether friendship should influence a reality-show jury.
Celebrity relationship drama centers on Alex Earle, Braxton Berrios, and Lando Norris’s ex, with the hosts questioning whether public outings are genuine or deliberately provocative.
Earle Meets World becomes a case study in televised family history, as the hosts weigh TJ Earle’s affair, complicated loyalties, and the pressure of filming every reaction.
CT and Phaedra’s romance is treated as an unexpectedly convincing reality-TV success story, while Miley Cyrus’s new dance track prompts comparisons with major pop influences.
