    The Cornell Seven Case | We're Asking The Wrong Questions - 1341

    2026-10-14 | 52 mins.
    The Cornell Seven case raises questions beyond the allegations surrounding an October 2024 fraternity encounter, including what consent means when alcohol, drugs and incomplete memories enter the picture. Chalene Johnson explores why Jane Doe's reported text messages have fueled competing narratives, and what screenshots can leave unanswered about sexual consent.
    For parents and grandparents of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, Chalene examines research from the Children's Commissioner for England and Common Sense Media about pornography exposure, sexual expectations and body image. School Chromebooks, Snapchat and AI pornography bring another question into focus: how much do adults really know about the sex education kids are getting online?
    Topics discussed: Cornell University, coercion, incapacitation, sexual trauma, parental controls, school devices, Patreon.

    The F-Factor Diet Feud | The Shocking End - 1340

    2026-10-09 | 58 mins.
    F Factor Diet founder Tanya Zuckerbrot faced more than 4,500 Instagram posts in 75 days, but how did a fiber powder become the center of an influencer war? Chalene Johnson revisits the controversy involving Emily Gellis, anonymous health claims, and a weight loss brand Chalene once bought on eBay.
    From the appeal of fiber and protein to The New York Times reporting and years of defamation litigation, Chalene follows the F Factor story beyond the screenshots. The Instagram battle raises a sticky question about influencer accountability: when does sharing someone's story become spreading something nobody has verified?
    Topics discussed: F Factor Diet, Tanya Zuckerbrot, Emily Gellis, diet culture, online harassment, Fed Up, Wondery, Hulu.

    Pete Davidson's Creator Rant, Jasmine Guy Ageism & My AI Assistant - 1339

    2026-10-07 | 56 mins.
    Pete Davidson told Variety he has a problem with female content creators making $40 million, and Chalene Johnson has a few things to explain to him. She plays both sides, then her husband Bret weighs in on NIL and the Michigan quarterback paid $12 million straight out of high school.
    Jasmine Guy returns as Whitley Gilbert in Netflix's A Different World revival, and the internet goes straight for her face. Chalene names the thing almost nobody talks about: symbolic annihilation.
    Plus, why she's nearly stopped typing, and what happens when an ADHD brain calls an AI assistant.
    Topics discussed: Pete Davidson, Variety, female content creators, creator economy, Hailey Bailey, Cardi B, casting couch, NIL deals, Larry Ellison, A Different World, Jasmine Guy, symbolic annihilation, ageism, Meg Ryan, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sharon Stone, Stream Ring, Meta glasses, Elon Musk phone, Siri, ChatGPT, AI assistant, ADHD
