Summary

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey explore what patriotism means in modern America, reacting to President Trump’s planned UFC event at the White House and new polling showing record-low levels of national pride. They also discuss how Americans define patriotism and whether that definition has changed over time. Later, the conversation turns to the U.K.’s social media ban for children under 16, parenting in the digital age, and what childhood should look like in a smartphone-driven world. The show wraps with a look at OnlyFans, consumer spending habits, and the vices people choose to spend their money on.
