With the Oscars right around the corner, we break down our predictions for Hollywood’s biggest night at the Academy Awards and debate who we think is actually taking home the trophies.

Then we talk about the ongoing internet obsession with celebrity weight loss and why every transformation now gets instantly labeled as Ozempic. Is it fair speculation or just another social media pile-on?

We also dive into the viral “Mom and Dad, what were you like in the 90s?” trend that has people asking their parents about their wild younger days and uncovering some hilarious family lore.

Plus, we look at why Chappell Roan keeps trolling the press and whether her approach to media attention is genius, chaotic, or both.

As always, we close things out with Questions of the Day, including:

When someone says “see what happens”… what actually happens?
What villain from a movie or TV show actually had a point?
What’s the worst possible first date idea?

And of course, we wrap up the show with some Nuclear Opinions that might start a few arguments.
