Social Media During Tragedy

"Are we too desensitized to tragedy in the age of iPhones and instant reactions?"Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—discuss the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s death at Utah Valley University. They open the show by reflecting on the tragedy, the toxic polarization of social media, and the unsettling reality of how violence is consumed and politicized in real time.But true to form, the show doesn’t stay in the heavy for long. The crew pivots with their signature humor and chemistry, riffing on everything from bot-driven outrage to KT’s hilarious declaration that “we live on the one planet that has water—that’s cool!” (only to be immediately dunked on by Krystina with breaking news about water on Mars).
