Episode The Campaign To Crush Chappell Roan
On March 21, 2026, as violent tensions escalated in Trump’s illegal war on Iran, the second most-discussed event in the United States was Chappell Roan’s hotel breakfast. What began as a forgettable “controversy” involving celebrities, a security guard, and a fancy hotel in Brazil soon transformed into a political proxy war that feels deeply emblematic of what the Internet has become. Today, Caroline Kwan, Kat Tenbarge and I dive deep into the episode I was sure I wouldn’t make. But here we are. In tears.
