IT’S ANOTHER WEEK OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, AND THIS EPISODE IS LOADED WITH TAKES ACROSS SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT, AND POP CULTURE.

WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES, STARTING WITH JOHN CENA’S FINAL MATCHUP — WAS THIS REALLY THE LAST TIME WE SEE HIM IN THE RING, AND HOW DID WE FEEL ABOUT THE RESULT? FROM THERE, WE DIVE INTO JACOB ELORDI’S COMMENTS ABOUT PAPARAZZI, BREAKING DOWN THE REALITY OF FAME AND WHETHER CELEBRITIES CAN EVER ESCAPE THE SPOTLIGHT.

NEXT, WE TALK SCARLETT JOHANSSON ENTERING THE HORROR GENRE — SHOULD FANS STAY CALM, OR IS THE HYPE JUSTIFIED? WE ALSO UNPACK DISNEY’S COLLABORATION WITH OPENAI, WHY IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT, AND HOW IT COULD ALSO GO VERY WRONG.

FROM THERE, IT’S ALL FOOTBALL. WE BREAK DOWN KEY NFL MATCHUPS AND SHARE OUR UNFILTERED TAKES — CHIEFS FANS, YOU MAY WANT TO TUNE IN (EVEN IF YOU’RE STILL GRIEVING THE SEASON). WE ALSO HIT COLLEGE FOOTBALL, INCLUDING DIEGO PAVIA, BOWL GAME RELEVANCE, AND THE ONGOING MICHIGAN DISCUSSION.

TO CLOSE THINGS OUT, WE SHIFT TO FILM, DISCUSSING THE GOLDEN GLOBES SHORT FILM CATEGORY AND SHARING EARLY PREDICTIONS ON WHAT COULD TAKE HOME THE WIN.

GRAB YOUR DRINK, SETTLE IN, AND JOIN US FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS.
