Gather round homies, a new Easily Entertained episode dropped. And this week we begin with a bit of a venting session...with a little something to do with the most ridiculously lavish Bora Bora influencer trips (*ahem, Tarte*).

Host Maddy McClain shares this week's pop culture news including a major class action lawsuit against popular dating apps and legal battles involving P. Diddy that could very much be the final nail in the proverbial coffin. And a Florida town leans into the state stereotype, the Florida Man, by hosting the first ever Florida Man Games. It's as bizarre and perfect as it sounds.

Then, we're breaking down the latest episodes from Love is Blind Season 6 including the alleged rumors regarding secret relationships & more. Whether you've watched the show or not, there's MUCH to be learned about human behavior...and it's entertaining of course.

Cheers homies! Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts and on IG @easilyentertainedpod 🤠
