So guys, I thought that the most pathetic thing I saw on social media this weekend was the Barbie Dream Fest that took place in Florida, or maybe I should say attempted to take place, like failed utterly.

And then I saw photos of CPAC.

And suddenly, Barbie Dream Fest did not look so pathetic.

And shocker, and maybe this is a controversial opinion, but I don't really think that the podcast

wars did this. Now, before we dive into today's story, I actually want to ask you guys a question,

what do you think MAGA stands for these days? Like, I'm interested in reading your comments.

Like, do you still identify with MAGA? Do you think it still represents the same thing that

it did in 2016, 2020, or even 2024?

This is a debate that I've been seeing in comment sections on X. It's something Alex and I've been talking about a lot. And I think it's really relevant to what we are discussing today. And I'm genuinely just interested in where you guys stand. So we're going to do a little bit of my own polling today. I don't know if you guys saw, but CNN was like,

100% of MAGA approves of everything Trump is doing,

100% approval rating.

And I was like 100% of MAGA approves of

everything Trump is doing, 100% approval rating. And I was like, oh, oh, okay, well then am I,

am I still MAGA? I don't know. Anyway, just let me know. I'm excited to read your comments.

All right. Moving into today's story, we certainly are in the era of failed conventions.

You know, two years ago, we had the infamous Willie's Chocolate

experience that happened in Scotland. There was the woman in the crazy green wig doing the potions.

Of course, there was Fire Fest, Tana Khan, which was Tana, how do you even pronounce her last name,

Mogul module, whatever it is. that was her alternative to VidCon.

There was, of course, DashCon, which was some kind of like Tumblr conference,

where the only immunity they offer people was a blow-up ball pit.

Anyway, the point is, this weekend, and you might have seen this on social media,
