In entertainment, we break down the massive opening weekend for Steven Spielberg's new film Disclosure Day, the continued box office success of Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic, and the industry-shaking news that Fox is acquiring Roku in a deal worth approximately $22 billion.

TaylorTalk is packed this week as we cover Taylor's involvement with Toy Story, her premiere appearances, live performances, recognition at the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Travis Kelce flying in to support her, and appearances from Ed and Donna Kelce. We also unpack her latest Knicks game appearance alongside Estee Haim, Alana Haim, Mariska Hargitay, and an unexpected Scooter Braun sighting nearby.
On the sports side, Patrick Mahomes lands another massive extension, the NBA Finals continue to deliver drama with the Spurs taking Game 3 and the Knicks stealing Game 4 at the buzzer before ultimately winning the championship. We also discuss Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby entering the NFL Supplemental Draft and dive into the latest College World Series action, where Ole Miss and Alabama have been eliminated while UNC sits just one win away from advancing.
Plus, we answer listener questions about the biggest celebrity comeback of 2026, which celebrity seems to get a free pass from fans and media, the pop culture moment from the first half of the year that we'll still be talking about in five years, and the most underrated Taylor Swift song that deserves far more attention.
