The Rich Attend The NBA Finals, America Fumbles the World Cup, and Drag Race Starts a New Bracket

This week, we accidentally become sports commentators. We react to Trump getting booed at the NBA Finals, Taylor Swift’s courtside appearance, and the reality that championship tickets now cost more than many people make in months. Then we dig into the growing controversy surrounding the World Cup, including reports of athletes, referees, and fans facing visa delays, extra screening, and travel restrictions. What’s supposed to be a global celebration starts looking a lot more like a reflection of America’s anxieties, class divisions, and declining reputation on the world stage. We also revisit last week’s AI controversy after producers behind RuPaul’s Drag Race’s latest film reverse course and admit AI was used after all. Then we jump into Drag Race All Stars Bracket 3, breaking down the queens, the sports-themed design challenge, Joey J’s surprise breakout episode, and whether Sam Starr deserved the win. Plus, Southern Charm continues to consume Bobbi’s life, we discuss Disney’s quiet Pride displays, and why sometimes the biggest cultural stories are hiding in plain sight.
