The JAAM takes on another GTA 6 delay, Met Gala announcements, Jasmine Crockett’s Senate bid, and the hard emotional labor of being a Chicago Bears fan.

Then we dive into the advent of Kalshi, the probability-market betting app trying to turn politics, news, and daily decisions into tradable wagers. The boys break down the ethics,the influencer pressure and accountability, exploring the disturbing reality that Kalshi lets users bet on things like famine in Gaza, polio coming back, and other crises that should never be treated like sportsbook props.

We also break down the dumpster fire that was the Streamer Awards; terrible production, cameras cutting to the wrong Black streamers, tension between the “poggers” side and the W/L community, and the general chaos of the whole thing. From India Love’s “Kanye moment” to Kai’s responsibility as the face of the platform, the crew asks what these awards even do for Black creators and why everyone still chases white validation.

And then, unfortunately, it’s finally time to talk about Nick Fuentes. His latest viral moment forced its way into the discourse, so we break down what happened and why he keeps resurfacing. We also get into why he might literally be the antichrist of American politics and why the direction he’s dragging young men in is deeply concerning. Tap in.
