Hey yall we're back with the Tea and today we discuss — Nicki Minaj's anti-trans pivot, Grindr's AI-first plans and safety failures, Trump moves to restrict trans youth care and chest binders, battles over Pride and library books, viral assaults targeting gay men. A lot of drama you won't wanna miss!

Nicki Minaj is drawing sharp criticism after appearing at a conservative Turning Point USA conference and publicly praising President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake just dropped a bombshell on Instagram, breaking his silence after wrapping his grueling two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour amid backlash over lackluster shows. Parade reports he revealed a private Lyme disease diagnosis thats been plaguing him with nerve pain and debilitating fatigue, explaining viral flops like his rainy, late Romania Electric Castle gig where fans walked out demanding refunds after he sang snippets under a hood and cap. He powered through, Parade notes, prioritizing performing joy over stopping, and now hes prioritizing health post-tour. This candid post, echoing a December 27 MariskalRock TV interview covered by Parade, marks a rare vulnerability from the private 44-year-old, thanking wife Jessica Biel and sons Phineas and Silas while aiming to destigmatize the illness.The Romania disaster went mega-viral on TikTok, with clips slamming his off-key moves and no-show face, reigniting gripes from an earlier Lytham Festival tech meltdown where he slashed a cut-it gesture at crew. AOL highlights a lighter wardrobe tweak tooa comically long shirt at his Kansas City finale, poking fun at a prior malfunction. Social buzz spiked December 29 with a YouTube Short of SexyBack blasting, and Chorus.fm flagged his Lyme reveal as top news. No fresh public appearances or business moves popped, though unconfirmed chatter swirls on NSYNC reunion post-Turkey tour endfans crave a Vegas residency like Backstreet Boys. Timberlakes Memphis roots linger in the background, per Commercial Appeal, via Grizzlies stake and Stax support, but nothing new there.

Celebrities keep stepping into politics even when they know the backlash is coming—and that’s not accidental. In today’s fame economy, attention is currency, silence is risky, and political identity has become part of personal branding. Chris and Lady La break down why stars increasingly feel compelled to signal values, take sides, and wade into controversy: social media rewards certainty and conflict, fans treat opinions like personal loyalty tests, and outrage itself can be monetized. The result is a calculated trade—lose some followers, gain others, stay relevant, and keep the algorithm fed. This segment examines whether celebrity influence actually moves voters, why authenticity matters more than ever, and why politicians should think twice before hitching their credibility to famous faces.      

California wants to tax billionaires 5% of their net worth, including unrealized gains, starting in 2026. The PBD Podcast breaks down the ballot initiative, union backing, why critics call it asset seizure, and how this policy could drive job creators and capital out of the state for good.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump suffering massive backlash for his botched cover up and once again resorting to ordering all hell to break loose across the country as his ICE and Border Patrol forces terrorize peaceful people in the United States and Meiselas brings the receipts with videos and photos about what's transpiring in this country and he urges his audience to share this video with as many people as they can to get the word out urgently.

Zu Weihnachten steht kein neues Gespräch an, sondern ein Highlight aus dem vergangenen Jahr. Die Folge zählt zu den eindrücklichsten "DIE BOSS"-Episoden und ist hier noch einmal zu hören:Die deutsch-jesidische Journalistin ist mehrfach in Kriegs- und Genozidgebiete gereist, hat IS-Schlächtern in die Augen geschaut und erhält regelmäßig Morddrohungen per Social Media. Doch all das hält Düzen Tekkal (48) nicht ab, sich international für Menschen- und Frauenrechte stark zu machen. Gemeinsam mit vier ihrer Schwestern hat sie mehrere Hilfsorganisationen aufgebaut und wurde so zu einer der führenden Sozialunternehmerinnen Deutschlands. Tekkal spricht über ihre familiäre Herkunft mit zehn Geschwistern, den besonderen Leistungsdruck gegenüber migrantischen Menschen, warnt vor Extremismus jeder Coleur und einem Backlash bei Frauenrechten und in der deutschen Migrationspolitik.

In Kim on a Whim, the crew dives into the story of a Pennsylvania bus driver fired for posting a sign banning Spanish on her bus. Kim breaks down the controversy, explaining the driver's claim that it was about stopping bullying, not discrimination. Marc and Kim debate whether the punishment fit the “crime,” calling out weak school discipline, zero-tolerance nonsense, and the breakdown of authority in classrooms and buses. Listeners chime in with their takes—some backing the driver, others suggesting cameras or better oversight. The takeaway: rules mean nothing when schools won't enforce them. #KimOnAWhim #SchoolBusControversy #DisciplineCrisis #MarkCoxShow

  Episode Cancellations and Card Collecting Jefry and Scott discussed the cancellation of "Nostalgia" this week due to scheduling conflicts with predictions and a "Top 11" episode next week. They also talked about the delay of the "WCW Revenge" episode for the Nintendo 64, which will now debut in the week after next. Scott shared his thoughts on the bizarre concept of "rip cards" in baseball card collecting, where a card is destroyed to reveal a smaller, potentially more valuable card inside. They also discussed the recent retirement of John Cena and the high value of his autographed cards, as well as the discovery of a rare Tom Brady card.   Wrestling Era and Figure Discussions Jefry and Scott discussed their opinions on the recent era of wrestling, particularly focusing on John Cena's last run. They both agreed it was rushed and poorly executed, with Scott giving it a rating of 2 out of 5. They also talked about the potential for Mattel to create action figures of Jimmy Garvin and Steve Regal. Finally, they briefly mentioned upcoming wrestling events, including WrestleCon in Vegas.   WrestleCon Autographs and Collectibles Scott and Jefry discussed the rare autograph signing opportunities with Don Morocco and Kevin Vaughn Eric for WrestleCon, with Jefry considering a day trip to attend. Scott shared his excitement about receiving a blue card Hogan LJN figure, and they discussed the appeal of Dusty Rhodes figures, particularly the polka dot era, with Jefry having a blue card Dusty and Scott considering a black card version.   Wrestling Figures and Nostalgia Scott and Jefry discussed Dusty Rhodes' wrestling character and how he embraced a negative gimmick. They then shared their experiences with the new LJN-style wrestling figures, with Scott describing the nostalgic feeling of holding a figure from his childhood in 2025. Scott also read a message from Russell Cartwright who had canceled pre-orders for Hogan and Cena figures after listening to their podcast, and instead found them at retail, which brought back childhood memories.   WrestleCon and Upcoming Product Releases Jefry and Scott discussed the rarity of Rick Martell's autograph signings and speculated that Martell's participation in a New York signing could indicate an upcoming announcement for WrestleCon. They then reviewed new products, including a limited-edition Undertaker bobblehead inspired by the Backlash 2008 poster, and discussed Funko's upcoming releases featuring Uncle Howdy, Jesse Ventura, Bray Wyatt, Jey Uso, and two Rhea Ripley variants. Finally, they mentioned that Junk Shop Dog is releasing three different looks for Tanahashi, who is retiring early next month.   Wrestling Tag Teams Legacy Debate Scott and Jefry discussed the legacy of various wrestling tag teams, including the Hardys, Dudleys, and Road Warriors, and debated who should be included on a hypothetical "Mount Rushmore" of tag teams. They also talked about Ringside Collectibles' new Joe Hendry figure, which is ready to ship and includes a bass that plays his theme music.    Mick Foley's WWE Departure Discussion Scott and Jefry discussed Mick Foley's decision to part ways with WWE due to concerns about the company's relationship with Donald Trump. They admired Foley's ability to stand up for his principles and walk away from the company. The conversation then shifted to new wrestling figures, including Tito Santana in his El Matador gimmick and a highly anticipated Coco Beware figure, which Scott placed on his top 11 list for 2026.   Rob Reiner Event and Licensing Jefry and Scott discussed the upcoming Rob Reiner annual event, which will be the first official one and will feature a "Top 11" list. They also talked about action figures, including the inability to use the Superman logo on WWE products due to licensing issues. Scott expressed surprise at learning that Andre's license is no longer with WWE. They briefly discussed the possibility of future DC-WWE mashup figures and the likelihood of John Cena being featured as Peacemaker. Lastly, they mentioned that WWE is open to working with Target and potentially using other LJN lines for future products. LJN Product Line Future Discussion Scott and Jefry discussed the future of the LJN product line, agreeing that it would likely continue for about 4 years before a reevaluation. They emphasized the importance of including a ring and cage as a package deal, as well as releasing tag team sets. They decided against producing thumb wrestlers and stretch wrestlers but expressed interest in potentially creating Bendy figures in a few years if the LJN line remains successful. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about potential upgrades to wrestling belts, with Steve mentioning that the classic IC title was next on his wishlist for belt upgrades. Wrestling Belt Nostalgia and Upgrades Jefry and Scott discussed the nostalgia and upgrades of wrestling belts from the 1985-1986 era, highlighting significant improvements across major organizations. They expressed hope for the release of the AWA tag team titles, with potential candidates like the Road Warriors or Hall and Henning, though Scott noted limited options for tag champions. They also discussed the possibility of signing legends like Marty Jannetti to future deals, and Jefry confirmed that Barry Wyndham is still under contract, despite no new figures being made since 2010.          

The weekend should have been quiet. Instead, a Hanukkah celebration on a Sydney beach turned into a massacre, a Muslim bystander tackled a shooter, and within hours the tragedy was weaponized. We dig into what happened, why the early “false flag” whispers took hold, and how Benjamin Netanyahu used the moment to argue that supporting a Palestinian state is the same as fueling antisemitism. That framing doesn't just poison debate—it endangers Jewish communities by collapsing criticism of state policy into bigotry against a people. We also trace another deadly thread: three Americans killed near Palmyra, Syria, and the fog that followed. First it was ISIS. Then reports pointed to a member of Syria's own security forces with a jihadist past. If the original mission in Syria was to destroy the Islamic State, why are U.S. troops still in harm's way years later? We lay out the mission creep, the shifting justifications, and the growing talk of adding troops to “monitor” ceasefires that rarely hold. If the rationale has evaporated, the policy should too. On the media front, we examine Barry Weiss's interview framing around the Charlie Kirk case and why public trust erodes when legitimate questions are lumped with the most absurd conspiracies. Candace Owens scored early with receipts, then drifted into claims she hasn't substantiated. That pattern fuels both cynicism and polarization. And on Capitol Hill, Chuck Schumer's resolution condemning “platforming” Nick Fuentes tries to police conversations rather than win arguments. We break down why Tucker Carlson's approach—separating people from governments, rejecting blood guilt, and aiming to persuade the audience—may be the smarter way to defuse extremist appeal. If you care about free speech, accurate reporting, and a foreign policy that reduces risk instead of multiplying it, this conversation is for you.

The U.S. Department of Justice has come under fire after releasing thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, only to include extensive redactions that critics say undermine the law's intent. Lawmakers and advocates argue the heavily blacked-out material—some pages entirely obscured and many more with large sections removed—fails to meet the statutory requirement for transparency. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the redactions, saying they were legally necessary to protect victims' identities and sensitive information, but opponents counter that the lack of clear explanations for the edits fuels suspicion and diminishes public trust in the process. The Hill noted that even innocuous or puzzling redactions (such as non-substantive content) have drawn ire and raised questions about whether the DOJ is fully complying with the law.The controversy intensified as some documents initially published on the Justice Department's website were removed without explanation just days after release, including files that appeared to contain a photograph featuring a former U.S. president alongside Epstein. Critics from both parties, including co-sponsors of the transparency legislation, accused the department of a “bare minimum” rollout that falls short of Congress's mandate, and threatened further oversight or legal action to enforce compliance. DOJ officials maintain they are continuing to review and release additional materials on a rolling basis, but the dispute highlights ongoing tensions over how much of Epstein's records should be public and how to balance survivor privacy with demands for accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:16 Epstein files, including photo of Donald Trump, disappear from DOJ website: ReportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
