The ReW🍷ne (4.5)- The One Where…Everyone Is a Bad Sport & Snitchin’
This week on the ReWine we are pouring heavy and breaking down everything from politics and power moves to scandal, sports, and the messiest of entertainment tea.
First up is 47 really a snitch for the FBI. Young Thug has been doing his own dance between snitchery and straight up foolishness, while only a few R’s are still standing on business. Massie is holding strong but how long before he caves or others finally find a spine.
We also touch the swirling rumors about Congestive Heart Failure, late nights at Club Rose Garden, Zuck caught running his mouth on a hot mic, and the fact that the jobs and economy still suck. Chicago is under threat but the city is fighting back, DC is suing, the National Guard says they are basically just taking out the trash, and NOLA is in the mix too. The Strongman Convention is flexing, and there is finally talk about doing something real about guns even if it comes wrapped in a ban targeting trans folks with the excuse of mental illness.
On the political front the DNC is losing confidence in its Chair, Jill Stein is back in the conversation, and Rep. James Talarico is running for Senate. A judge just ruled in Harvard’s favor in the race case, conservative SCOTUS judges are ducking responsibility, and ICE rolled up on a Hyundai plant in Georgia detaining 475 South Korean workers in what looks like another wrecking ball to the economy. National security is also looking like a joke with the FBI lowering its recruitment standards. Congress is back in session and Moore is eyeing Maryland maps while Missouri jumps into redistricting too. Brain Dead is on the hot seat with everyone calling for his head, Florida is scrapping vaccine mandates, and now Chagas disease is spreading. Hygiene matters.
In entertainment news Paula Deen is trying to cook up a comeback while throwing shade at Anthony Bourdain in the process and her lawyer claims she should not be shamed for using the N word in context. Jillian Michaels is still ten toes down in her ignorance, Lil Nas X revealed he was not high but dealing with a psychotic break, and Young Thug is either snitching or just plain dumb. He accused Gunna of flipping for his plea deal, tossed shade at Kendrick Lamar, and is now swimming in double standards. Scandal sells especially when it involves white folks. Cracker Barrel switched their logo back, American Eagle stock shot up after the Sydney Sweeney drama even though the Travis Kelce collab was set long before, and yes Travis and Taylor are officially engaged. Add Kelly Price’s public crash out and Ciara changing lil Future’s name and you have a packed docket.
Sports were just as messy. At the US Open bad sportsmanship was on full display with Ostapenko and Taylor Townsend clashing, the CEO straight up stealing a kid’s ball, and Sabalenka snagging the women’s championship. Trump is planning to pop up at the men’s final. Over in baseball the Phillies’ Karen made headlines, while Arch Manning redeemed himself by balling out for UT.
In the W, Angel got suspended for calling out the CHi for being trash, Caitlin Clark’s season is done with a groin injury, and ESPN is scrambling to adjust.
This episode has everything politics on fire, scandal that sells, sports drama, and more entertainment chaos than you can pour a glass over. Press play and sip with us CHEERS 🍿🍷
