This week Bryan reminisces about his family's (now closed) Italian restaurant in El Paso, and Erin gets in a fight with a Russian man at a Vancouver suspension bridge. Erin shares some good news with Vermont passing S.28 shoring up the state's shield laws for abortion medication and healthcare, plus Montana's striking down of SB 99 which would have banned lifesaving care for trans youth. Bryan reviews GLAAD's 2025 Social Media Safety Index which shows that most social media platforms have rolled back initiatives leading to more harassment and less safety online.
