E301. Why Hot Happy Kids Are Driving Critics Crazy - Dumpster Fire
Bridget Phetasy breaks down the Jesse Watters spring break video that's making intellectuals and prudes equally furious, explains why hot dumb happy kids are actually a sign America is doing fine, and reacts to the most insane headline of 2026: a quadruple amputee cornhole champion charged with murder who dumped a body from a self-driving Tesla.
