The 2026 Golden Globes introduced a Best Podcast category for the first time, and Amy Poehler won it after just 10 months of podcasting — beating out her ex-husband Will Arnett, who has co-hosted the massively popular Smartless for years. The internet had thoughts.

The first work story of the day comes from @aitah: a man who brought his own $1,800 Herman Miller Aeron chair to a new sales job, had it stolen on his fourth day, was told by his boss that chairs are first-come-first-served, and escalated by calling the police. [1] — Morgan Absher "He brought his own $1,800 Herman Miller Aeron chair to a new job. Day 4 — stolen. The boss said chairs are first-come first-served. So he c…" 1:14:57 The thief admitted to the theft, and OP had his receipt with the serial number as proof. OP then pressed charges even when his boss threatened termination — and was fired on the spot, carrying his chair out as he left. The thief, a 15-year industry veteran, lost his security license. Morgan and Michaela initially side with OP over the terrible boss and brazen thief, but both conclude that pressing charges and destroying a career over a chair crossed a line. The segment sparks a listener call-out about whether office chair theft is a widespread phenomenon.
The 2026 Golden Globes introduced a Best Podcast category for the first time, won by Amy Poehler's podcast over competitors including Will Arnett's Smartless.
A widower insisted on wearing his late wife's wedding ring on his left ring finger while seriously dating a new partner, refusing compromises like a different finger or necklace.
A boyfriend insists on wearing his dead wife's wedding ring on his left ring finger while seriously dating someone new — and won't compromise. This isn't jealousy of a ghost; it's a compatibility problem. He's simply not ready, and his girlfriend has to decide if she can live with that.
A Reddit commenter who was widowed at 25 and lost their partner and unborn child said it took years to stop telling people they were 'spoken for,' lending insight that the boyfriend may not be ready to date.
Morgan says if she'd met her partner Justin in college, it never would have worked — she wasn't ready. But Michaela pushes back: sometimes people manufacture reasons for 'wrong timing.' The debate is whether the universe gives you the right person at the wrong moment, or if missed timing just means they weren't the one.
Robby Hoffman isn't fearless — she's terrified all the time. The difference is she does it anyway, because not doing it feels worse than the fear itself.
John Mulaney texted Robby Hoffman out of nowhere saying he'd been a fan for a while and wanted to make a Netflix special with her. Robby called it 'shocking, horrifying, anxiety-inducing, surreal and thrilling' — and said yes.
Mulaney is buttoned-up, suit-wearing, classy. Robby is gritty, raw, and undefined. Together they made the collab nobody expected. Batman and Robin. Eminem and Dido.
Music had Pope Gregory forcing notation. Comedy has had 'magical thinking' — he's just got funny bones. But jokes work through discoverable, teachable mechanics. Writing down the rules doesn't kill the magic; it gives more people access to it.
Howard Ashman had one insight nobody else had: animated Disney films should be Broadway musicals. The third song of every great musical is the character sitting alone explaining what they want. That's 'Part of Your World.' That structure — combined with Alan Menken's compositions — generated Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, and turned Disney Animation into the most profitable creative engine in entertainment history.
The Lion King musical has been running for 30 years across Broadway, London's West End, and global touring companies. It has grossed over $11 billion in total revenue — more than Avatar, more than Avengers: Endgame, more than any album, more than any video game. It generates an average of $350 million in revenue every single year. Disney owns it outright.
The anonymous French artist Invader has hidden 1,500 pixelated mosaic artworks across Paris alone, with thousands more scattered across 80+ cities — affixed to the Eiffel Tower, the Hollywood sign, and even sent to the International Space Station. He might be even busier than Banksy.
The Flash Invaders app turns city streets into a treasure hunt, letting players scan Invader's hidden mosaics for points. Players have collectively logged over 47 million flashes. Unlike most mobile games that glue you to a screen, this one forces you to look up and engage with your surroundings.
New York draws thousands of young, talented performers every year chasing Broadway stardom — but the hard truth is that most of them never make it. Zelig Williams was one of the rare exceptions.
