Shane Gillis is all over social media, so we watched the clip and gave our honest takes. Is the joke misogynistic, or just a joke? We talk about gym wear and fitness influencers, glancing versus creeping, what misogyny actually means, and why people are so quick to judge. Do you think the word misogyny gets used too loosely? Tell us what you think.

Is AI going to kill us? In our first episode, we talk about who controls AI, how it could take jobs, what it's doing to our critical thinking and relationships, and what data centers mean for communities and the environment. We also share how we think people can use AI mindfully. Let us know your thoughts: are you for AI or against it?

Why does this topic get so much political attention? My dad and I talk about fear of the unfamiliar, the debate over trans athletes in sports, and what we think we should be talking about instead, like wages, housing and the cost of living. We don't fully agree on the sports question, and we say so. Should trans people compete as equals in sports? Let us know in the comments.

With the midterms here, we ask whether a blue wave is really coming.

We're not telling you who to vote for, only to vote for what affects your everyday life. Do you think a blue wave is coming?
