From celebrity drama to political hypocrisy and headlines that make you question sanity, we’re covering it all on this episode of The Baker Take™! Kelly Clarkson finds herself in hot water after a public feud with a small Brooklyn shop over a $15,000 singing bird. Did a celebrity get the Pretty Woman treatment, or did a small business become the target of a bruised ego and online mob? We also discuss Kimberly Guilfoyle’s reported ethics controversies, Shane Gillis’s SNL monologue and the backlash over his comments about women’s gym attire, and whether late-night audiences and comedians apply the same standards when their political targets change.

Then it’s Texas politics as James Talarico and Ken Paxton face off in a race raising questions, rumors, and yes, we are judging their looks too. In New York City, a 168-year tradition could be coming to an end as officials push to ban horse-drawn carriages. Plus, a terrifying roller coaster incident, a robot accused of groping a teenage girl in Germany, and the disturbing truth about what happens when you flush a toilet. Yes, really.

And, of course, we’re wrapping things up with our Loves & Hates. The headlines are wild. The double standards are real. And we’re here to talk about all of it.

Join us for another episode of The Baker Take™, where we bring our perspectives, challenge the narratives, and leave you to form your own take.

This week on The Baker Take™, we’re asking the question nobody seems to want to ask: How old is too old to wear that? Madonna’s MTV VMAs appearance has us talking about age, fashion, reinvention, and whether some looks simply have an expiration date. And then there’s her very, very strange acceptance speech.

From there, we’re jumping into a cute pumpkin pepper recipe, the growing trend of adult children cutting off their parents, and Carnival Cruise chaos.

We’re also discussing the “Cornell Seven,” the increasingly complicated conversation around Kratom, the questions surrounding what actually happened when President Trump attended the Tennessee vs. Texas football game, and the White House’s new helicopter pad… Trump style!

We start to dive into what wearing a hijab actually means to it becoming a fashion trend.

It’s another Baker Take™ mix of pop culture, family, current events, food, politics and the stories that make you stop and say, “Wait…what?"

Greenland news, a lone juror, a few things about college kids, a super cool rescue dog, and the Texas State Fair’s funky foods. This week’s Baker Take™ has a little bit of everything.

We’re breaking down the new Greenland deal and the latest dispute over White House press access, discussing the juror who caused a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder trail, then looking at what college students should know as the 2026 midterms approach.

Is the “whiny college kids” trend taking over TikTok a true mental health crisis or something else, the unexpected brick product unplugging people, and Chloe, a dog who became the first rescue dog to graduate from the U.S. Border Patrol Canine Academy as a Critical Incident Response K9.

And just in time for opening day, we’re talking Texas State Fair — including some of the new food creations you’ll have to try.

Plus, as always, Loves & Hates.
