This week, the Drs discuss [ridiculous] reactions to the NFL’s announcement that Bad Bunny will be performing at its 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show and recap a few cases recently argued in front of SCOTUS. The cases at issue could have profound effects for LGBTQIA minors and the voting rights of racial minority groups in the U.S.
Word of the Week [02:25] Anocracy: The inbetween space governments occupy as they transition from democracy to authoritarianism or autocracy. Sometimes called semi-democracy, it is generally not a good sign we are describing the U.S.A. this way.
Phase 1 [06:37] Bad Bunny: The NFL announced that Bad Bunny would be the Superbowl Halftime Show performed next year. Despite Bad Bunny’s global fame and his U.S. citizenship, many influencers and pundits on the right took umbrage to the NFL’s choice. Apparently, a significant number of these commentators did not know that Puerto Rico is part of the U.S.
Phase 2 [24:00] LGBTQIA rights are for Suckers: The Supreme Court of the United States recently heard arguments in two cases that will cause profound harm to marginalized communities in the U.S. if they go the way the hosts fear. The Court seems poised to invalidate state laws banning conversion therapy for minors and to enact the death blow to the Voting Rights Act as it turns 60 years old this year.

Whose history gets told? In this episode, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna unpack the unsettling intersections of memory, commodification, and state-sanctioned narratives. From the newly opened Jonestown site in Guyana to the controversial signage reshaping U.S. historical landmarks through QR codes, we ask: What happens when sites of trauma become tourist attractions—or propaganda tools?
Word of the Week [1:15]: Commodification: We're not just talking about grains and fruit. Buying and selling can go too far.
Phase 1 [5:25]: Guyana and the Jonestown Massacre: Dr. Lisa explores the ethics of opening the site to tourists. Unfortunately, this is the not the first time we have had to negotiate such a controversy. Amache, Sand Creek, and other National Parks point to a long history of shaping such narratives.
Phase 2 [25:39]: Deaf President Now!: Dr. Shaunna encourages us to study resistance by plopping down on the couch, grabbing the remote, and watching this documentary on Gallaudet University's fight. Four students led the charge for the first deaf president in the University's 122-year history.
