This week on Baddies for the People, Cheyenne shares a major life update about starting a new job, and what it means to rebuild your identity when your routine changes overnight.

We also dive into the latest panic over Gen Z’s sex life. Are young people really having less sex? And if so, why? We look at the data, the headlines, and the culture, from the impact of COVID and social isolation to a growing political divide between men and women. We unpack how dating has been shaped by social media echo chambers, a rise in manosphere content, and the real consequences of ideological incompatibility.

In the news: Trump appears confused about whether Barbie Land is a real country, rails against the toy manufacturer Mattel, and may have violated the Constitution by accepting a $400 million plane from Qatar. Also, is the new pope... woke? We break down Pope Leo’s surprising positions on Trump, JD Vance, and racial justice, alongside his more traditional views on LGBTQ rights.

Plus, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes may be in prison, but her partner is pitching what looks like the same fraudulent blood-testing machine. And in Rent Free, we talk about what it means to see violence go viral, again and again, and what that’s doing to our collective sense of empathy.

It’s a week of delusions, contradictions, and some hard truths about where we are and what’s ahead.
