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.

In this week’s single phase, the hosts take on the recent health recommendations coming out of the Department of Health and Human Services. They discuss the recent announcement of a (non-)connection between acetaminophen usage while pregnant and autism, the damage such misinformation can do to people’s trust of healthcare, and other concerning issues that will likely harm not help Americans.
Word of the Week: Acetaminophen [1:41]: The safety of the fever-reducing drug that millions of people, including pregnant women, use to reduce muscle aches, fevers, and headaches was called into question by the President, who it turns out, cannot even pronounce it.
Phase 1: Bad Science Foolishness [4:48]: There are just so many reasons to be worried about the pseudoscience coming out of the Department of Health and Human Services under the leadership of one RFK Jr. The most recent debacle included blaming women for their child’s autism if they took acetaminophen while pregnant. This claim, for which there is zero causal scientific evidence, was announced loudly from the White House under a self-imposed September deadline for identifying the cause(s) of autism. Decades of research, changes in diagnostic criteria, and an increase in medical provider awareness be damned. “Don’t Take Tylenol,” the President chanted [note: acetaminophen appears in many other brand name drugs you might know]. This announcement, plus the recommendation that infant vaccinations put “too much liquid” into babies, and the MMR vaccine should be broken up are an assault on public health. These assertions are not making Americans healthier, in fact, the consequences could be just the opposite.
