First, the Kentucky Derby drama (sorry, no Triple Crown this year), then it's straight into the Epstein investigation bombshell—14 terabytes of never-before-seen tapes, files, and photos being reviewed for high-profile indictments. Meanwhile, R. Kelly’s attorney claims Diddy is about to start naming names. Oh, and a woman on TikTok just said she’s Shia LaBeouf’s twin and that they were separated by a child trafficking cult. You heard that right.

Pat & JT spiral into tech paranoia after finding out Roombas might be recording you on the toilet—and leaking it. They break down the viral bathroom photo that resurfaced from Amazon-owned iRobot tests and share a wild moment when a piece of podcast equipment picked up audio while powered off. Plus: the terrifying truth about smart devices, how many photos we’re hoarding for no reason, and why you probably won’t ever watch that concert video again.

Pat & JT dive deep into the ultimate pop culture rabbit hole: Taylor Swift allegedly unfollowing Brittany Mahomes (she didn’t), and how it all ties back to Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and a scandal involving sexual assault accusations, leaked texts, and subpoenas flying. They break down why Swifties think Taylor’s distancing herself, how Reynolds may have overplayed his perfect image, and why LeBron James really skipped the Met Gala. Plus: Diddy’s trial, Gigi & Bradley go Insta-official, and the rise of “unfollowing” as the new breakup announcement.

Pat & JT recap a wild Derby weekend that included a sold-out live show with Dance Moms icon Abby Lee Miller—who insisted on Long John Silver’s for lunch (LOVE), dropped meet-and-greet pose rules, and had fans screaming like it was 2011. JT defends Larry Birkhead’s sweet Derby tradition with Anna Nicole’s daughter, while TikToker Griffin brings horse racing to Gen Z. Also: a Cirque du Soleil breakout star from Lincoln, Abby’s savage Bravo regrets, and a surprise Cinco de Mayo shoutout to Amigos.

Pat & JT kick off May with the weirdest headlines of the week: Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour is struggling to sell out, and no one can believe it. Then it’s the viral video of a Pirates fan who literally fell onto the field and is currently in critical condition, and a deep dive into why we judge people based on how they text. Plus: why concert ticket prices are out of control, and what “five-star lasagna” really means.

Pat & JT unpack Omaha’s latest "dry hump" storm that almost happened—again. Then it’s off to Belichick’s bizarre romance with his much-younger "muse," including wild theories about where they really met (hint: it’s shady). Plus: why Marketplace scams are exploding, the new Venmo con making the rounds, and the weird resurgence of Epstein's Zorro Ranch in online rabbit holes. B

Pat & JT are bracing for storm season with the National Weather Service down for maintenance (what could go wrong?), while Reed Timmer chases chaos across Nebraska. They dive into Nextdoor traffic rants about Omaha drivers, the Westroads Loop workaround, and why merging on Dodge Street is basically an IQ test. Plus: The awkward Belichick interview (ripped hoodie and all), and a Kentucky Derby update featuring Toby Keith’s underdog horse.

Pat & JT recap the wild storms that swept through Omaha last night. Tornado sirens, floating dumpsters, confused reporters, and drivers with flashers on for no reason. They break down local news chaos, and why Saddle Creek turns into a river. Then it’s on to Club Shay Shay’s sudden shutdown, Gen Z slang nobody understands, and the science behind why left-handed people (like Pat & JT) are basically superhuman mutants.
