Overlooking Bums and Bummy Moments

On this episode, we take stock of a moment that feels equal parts unstable and revealing. We unpack ongoing economic strain and how it is landing on everyday people, cut through the latest political wildness shaping public life, and break down the standout moments and cultural signals from the Grammy Awards 2026 ceremony. We also discuss the news of a former survivor connected to R. Kelly announcing a forthcoming book, and what it represents for narrative control, healing, and accountability beyond the courtroom. It’s a candid conversation about power, culture, and who gets to tell the story now.
