The summer heat brings with it a whirlwind of topics on this episode of Doing Me So I Don't Read You. We kick off with a sobering reflection on the devastating floods in Texas that claimed lives at a youth camp, highlighting the increasingly unpredictable and dangerous weather patterns affecting communities nationwide.
Some good news comes in the form of Georgia's new "10-8 drinking in public law," allowing Metro Atlanta residents to take alcoholic beverages outside establishments in proper containers. But there's a bigger reason behind this change – Atlanta is gearing up to host eight FIFA World Cup matches in June 2026, including a coveted semifinal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We weigh the excitement of this global spotlight against the practical concerns about city infrastructure and crowds, contemplating whether to embrace the experience or escape the chaos.
Sports fans will appreciate our breakdown of Wimbledon updates and the upcoming WNBA All-Star game selections, where we question how popularity sometimes trumps performance in these prestigious honors. Meanwhile, movie buffs will enjoy our anticipation for upcoming films like Jurassic World Rebirth, complete with philosophical musings about T-Rex just wanting to mind his own business – a surprisingly apt metaphor for marginalized communities in today's society.
The conversation reaches peak excitement when discussing Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour arriving in Atlanta for four consecutive days. We speculate about potential special guests, unique elements for the Atlanta shows, and share a laugh about her professional handling of a technical malfunction during her Houston performance. Queen B, if you're listening (and we're manifesting that you are), bring out some Atlanta talent!
Whether you're planning your summer entertainment, navigating changing local laws, or just trying to make sense of our increasingly chaotic world, this episode offers both lighthearted moments and thoughtful reflections.
