Lady Gaga had a baby. Not a celebrity baby with a made-up name like "Maverick Jet" or "Brinley" — just Rose. That revelation, delivered via a text from a friend mid-concert, kicks off a freewheeling episode of The Hangover podcast where hosts Heather, Chauncey, and Matt work through a stack of pop culture news with the energy of a group chat that accidentally got recorded.

Show Notes
We watched the movie Hope and are still recovering from the ending. We are dragging the Emmys for being so white again, and we need to talk about Ed Sheeran, because the internet said what it said, and honestly? Miss Rachel is out here ending his career too. Also, Lady Gaga had a baby and nobody told us, and we gave ourselves Flavor of Love nicknames on honor of our patreon episode.
