Newberg Pod 89 - Netflix is a Fraud, Yelp for Hookups, and Why Birthday Parties Are a Scam!

from Newberg · host J Chris Newberg

This week on the Newberg Pod: We've gone twice a week because once wasn't enough to unpack all the chaos. Today, we're exposing Netflix as the lazy Blockbuster wannabe you always suspected it was, asking if "sorry" actually means anything, and pitching a Yelp for hookups—because why not ruin sex too? We're also tearing apart birthday parties (spoiler: they suck), wondering what happened to real fun (RIP), and roasting the sad claps we give for mediocrity. Plus, we're talking stolen jokes, why the Matthew Perry book feels off, and how "sold out" became everyone's favorite status update. Oh, and don't miss our take on... TARIFFING THE CHICKENS. It's hilarious, unhinged, and 100% what you didn't know you needed. Buckle up—this is the most ridiculous Newberg Pod yet!
