On this packed edition of the show, we’re hitting every corner of the internet, sports, politics, pop culture, and the just plain bizarre. We start with Cam Skattabo, who’s out here living his best life while the haters stay loud — and we break down why people get triggered when someone’s thriving.

Then we shift to a surreal political moment as Donald Trump and Rep. Zohran Mamdani meet at the White House. Yes, that pairing really happened, and yes, we need to talk about it.

Hollywood is back in the discourse too, this time because the Wicked cast is noticeably — and worryingly — skinny on their press tour. We explore the conversation around celebrity bodies, pressure, and what’s driving these reactions online.

From there we dive into a big one: Can AI wipe out entry-level white-collar jobs? (Inspired by the latest 60 Minutes report.) We discuss what’s hype, what’s real, and what the near future actually looks like.

In business news, Ford announces it will start selling cars directly on Amazon, and we unpack what that means for dealerships, car buying, and the entire auto industry.

Then the vibes get… weird. Like really weird. There’s a viral clip featuring twerking with the dead — yes, literally — and we process the internet so you don’t have to.

We wrap with a Nuclear Opinion of the Day and end with our Question of the Day to get your takes rolling.

On today's Productive Conversation, We’re breaking down a historically bad fall movie season — the worst box-office slump since the 1990s — and what it says about the state of Hollywood right now. Plus, Timothée Chalamet accidentally turns the internet upside down with a simple Zoom post, and we dive into Netflix’s new Eddie Murphy documentary, Being Eddie, to explore the legend’s impact.

In sports, Draymond Green’s latest clash isn’t with a player… but a fan. We also shine a light on Matt Taylor, who continues to rise and make noise in the media world.

On the lifestyle side, we unpack how to make real friends in 2025, share the greatest Subway take of all time courtesy of Ms. Pat, and drop this week’s viral Nuclear Opinion.

And of course — we wrap with our Question of the Day and another bad thing Trump went viral for over the weekend.
