Tipping Controversy, Kelly Clarkson's Messy Divorce, Matt Damon Doesn't Say the F-slur Anymore

The topics are strong today! 
We start out by addressing a weird tipping encounter Shannon experienced a few nights ago. This event lead us to ask some tough questions about tipping and the correct protocol. 
Kelly Clarkson's divorce is getting a little messy.  This songstress is in a hefty legal battle with ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. 
During an interview for his new movie, Matt Damon revealed that he no longer uses the F-slur due to a letter his daughter wrote to him a few months ago.  The response to this sudden change in behavior has the world questioning why Matt Damon was even saying this harmful word at all.  
The olympics are all we can watch right now!  We touch on a few of our favorite moments from the 2021 summer games.

We are back people and we are ready to share all of the stories that were on our radar from the past week. We come in hot with a controversial story about a high school in Florida that decided to photoshop all cleavage out of 80 teenage girls yearbook photos. Why is this even accepted?  Who implemented this policy?  We discuss it all! We also cover hot takes on buying new towels and where it is acceptable to wear flip flops? (Please let us know what you think) The viral tiktok party that had the world talking is also covered today. The power of tiktok and genZ is something to discuss.

Enjoy our Catch UP!
