Prednisone is supposed to help, but what happens when it flips every switch in your body at once? We’re talking candidly about corticosteroid side effects and the real day-to-day fallout: a heart that won’t settle down, sleep that disappears, cravings that feel like a possession, and the weird emotional intensity that makes you buy “just one more” thing you do not need. If you’ve ever felt like your meds changed your personality, you’ll recognize the tension between relief and regret.

From there we slide into food anxiety with receipts. We break down the viral “bread washing” test, why some wheat bread is basically white bread with coloring, and how vague terms like natural flavors can hide a lot of processing. We also run through a list of American foods and additives restricted or banned elsewhere, including chlorine-washed chicken, ractopamine-treated pork, potassium bromate in bread, and preservative-heavy snacks. It’s not a lecture, it’s a nudge toward defensive shopping and clearer labels.

Then we let ourselves be ridiculous because the internet demanded it: yes, scientists investigated whether mayonnaise can be a musical instrument. We use that as a palate cleanser before jumping back to real life, including weight gain frustration, shout-outs, visitors arriving, a cleaner who has fully checked out, and the kind of strange news that makes you grateful you can still laugh.

The headlines feel like they’re written by a prankster, so we start where any sane Tuesday begins: an April Fool’s argument about Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and whether “What A Fool Believes” can possibly be called a cover. Then the mood shifts hard into a true crime mystery that’s been eating at us, the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother. With a $1 million reward, cameras everywhere, and weeks gone by, we keep coming back to the same question: what motive makes sense, and why does it still feel like nobody knows anything?

From there we jump to Jerusalem and Palm Sunday reporting about access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, plus the way a single claim can turn into global outrage when people are already raw. Anne brings lived experience from Israel and pushes back on what sounds exaggerated, while we talk about why sources matter, what gets lost in translation, and how fear travels faster than facts.

The back half turns into a whirlwind of modern anxiety and very real consequences: rumors of boots on the ground in Iran, a teacher accused of bringing marijuana to school to sell to minors, and the rise of AI music and AI-generated junk that’s slipping onto charts. We also get personal about how AI can be used for harassment and stalking, then zoom out to public health with measles surging again. We end on incarceration stories and deaths in custody, then take one last sharp detour into the bizarre with “baloney pockets,” plus pop culture check-ins from The Hail Mary Project to celebrity image changes and classic-rock cameos.

Feathers in faces, wisteria on bodices, and a brooch so big it becomes a character. We’re coming to you from WOMR/WFMR with our full 2026 Oscars roundup, and we’re not playing it safe. Michael and I start with something that’s been bugging us all week: the rise of AI voices in media and how quickly “real people” can get swapped for something that sounds human enough. That thread keeps popping up as we watch Hollywood try to stay glamorous while the ground shifts under it.

Then we hit the red carpet hard. We talk feather overload, the rare white-gown prophecy that actually works, and the looks that feel instantly iconic versus the ones that feel like a craft project. We also dig into the documentary race, the films we were rooting for, and why the winner still lands as important. From there it’s a rapid-fire tour of the night’s biggest fashion debates, including our unapologetic worst-dressed picks and a longer chat about stylists, aging, and what it means to dress for your body when millions are judging every seam.

And yes, we get to Conan. The fake commercials are killer, the jokes are sharp, and the most shocking takeaway might be this: starting in 2029, the Oscars won’t be on television at all, they’ll be YouTube-exclusive. Add in winners, acting highlights, Devil Wears Prada 2 news, Project Hail Mary anticipation, and an In Memoriam that genuinely hurts, and you’ve got a night that feels like the end of one era and the start of something stranger. Subscribe for more, share this with your favorite film friend, and leave a review, then tell us: which Oscars moment did you love or hate the most?
