The gang gushes over Taylor Swift’s record-smashing album, clears up Dolly Parton’s “deathbed” drama, and side-eyes America’s latest political clowns, led by a man literally named Johnson. How unfortunate!

The guys get into America’s never-ending government shutdown, ICE villains who need to be melted like the Wicked Witch, and, speaking of melt-downs, just look at the reaction to Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl. Between clergy getting pepper-sprayed and politicians chasing Nobel Prizes like it’s RuPaul’s Drag Race: Dictator Edition, it’s a wild ride through politics, pop culture, and petty power plays.

The shutdown is on, the hypocrisy is loud, and somewhere in the madness, Taylor Swift emerges as America’s accidental emotional support icon. The boys go off this week on America’s “reality TV” government, where cabinet members are cast from Fox News and beauty pageants. Meanwhile, Portland's "war zones” look more like mom yoga retreats but still require an army of out-of-shape grievance goons to tamp down the fun. Who knew there'd be a cabinet filled with Fox News rejects and failed wrestlers? From Bad Bunny backlash to Taylor Swift’s lyrical vengeance, it’s political chaos meets pop-culture sparkle. Hey, America might be falling apart, but at least it’s doing it with a great soundtrack.
