Tyler, the Creator wants to round up all the podcast mics and put them in the trash.
Okay, maybe not all of them, but in a recent interview with The Cut , the Odd Future founder believes the market is oversaturated and that the medium isn't for everyone.
'I think we give a lot of people who aren't smart and just want attention platforms to be loud and incorrect, and other stupid people follow them,' Tyler told The Cut.
'Where are the people with skills? We need electricians, we need more drummers, painters, teachers. Everybody with a mic is crazy. I just think that sh-t is gross.'
Tyler acknowledged that there are several podcasters who are doing a great job, like 'Deante Kyle is sick, and The Cutting Room Floor is sick. Those are two podcasts that are in the right direction.'
This isn't the first time Tyler has expressed his disdain for the accessibility folks have to podcast mics. Just last year, he told Billboard , 'If I was president, the first thing I would do is take podcast mics away from n-ggas.'
And it's not just the podcast mics that have earned the ire of the 'Sticky' rapper; he also believes that social media can oftentimes ruin a good thing.
'Love gatekeeping. Everything is not for everyone, and that's okay. People have to stop wanting to be invited into everything; it's okay to not be into something, bro. It's cool, it's chill,' he said.
Still, when it comes to his own medium of music, he doesn't think it's beneficial to keep your tastes under wraps.
He continues: 'Gatekeeping music is a little weird, but when it comes to companies, restaurants, and clothing — like certain restaurants that some people really love can get f-cked up because someone makes a TikTok and now everything is sold out. This small thing they loved and enjoyed is no longer available for them to enjoy because everyone wants in on this new thing to feel like they're part of something. That's when I'm like, no, f-ck that, gatekeep your restaurant. When people are like, Where'd you get that from? We good. ID on Tyler's so-and-so? No, we good. Let me have my thing; you might not look that fire in it.'

Atlanta Braves still face an uphill battle, but with Ronald Acuña Jr., anything seems possible
NEW YORK — Around Ronald Acuña Jr.'s neck hangs an unavoidable symbol of his own excellence. As if such a reminder were necessary. Atlanta's swashbuckling outfielder has never been shy about expressing himself via his jewelry on the diamond. For most of his career, Acuña rocked an enormous, gold, diamond-crusted No. 13 pendant. That trademark piece grew into such a signature that during Acuña's rip-roaring, record-setting, 41-homer, 73-steal 2023 NL MVP season, one of the Braves' promotional giveaways was a replica version of their superstar's ice. Advertisement But this season, the 27-year-old has unveiled something new, something different: a gold, octagonal, jewel-encrusted medallion designed to look exactly like the MVP trophy he won two years ago. Ronald Acuña Jr. has been wearing a gold medallion inspired by the MVP trophy this season. () (Brandon Sloter via Getty Images) The chain, a gift from Acuña's wife, is a subtle, shimmering reminder of what this spectacular talent can do. He is one of the few players in baseball capable of bending a game to his will. His electrifying solo homer on Monday provided the difference in the Braves' 3-2 win over the Mets. And even though he went 0-for-3 with two walks on Tuesday, Acuña's presence in the leadoff spot changes the entire complexion of Atlanta's offense. 'Him in the lineup, it helps everybody,' Braves manager Brian Snitker said. 'What he's doing, how he's doing it, taking his walks — that's awesome.' Advertisement Since missing the last four months of 2024 and the first two months of this season while recovering from his second career ACL surgery, Acuña has reemerged like a bat out of hell. He went deep on the very first pitch he saw in May. He is slashing .385/.496/.692 with nine homers in just 29 games. He has swiped four bags on his surgically repaired legs. His arm, which has always been strong, now grades out as the single strongest outfield arm in MLB. But most importantly, he looks explosive, dangerous, formidable — everything his stuck-in-neutral ballclub desperately needs him to be. That's because these Atlanta Braves and their seven consecutive playoff appearances are facing quite the climb. After their 7-4 victory on Tuesday, the Braves are 37-41, 9.5 games back in the division and six games out of the last NL wild card. Their postseason odds have plummeted from 92.5% on Opening Day to 33.3% as of Wednesday. That is by far the largest drop in MLB. Atlanta's offense, which underwhelmed before Acuña's return, has been just as statistically drab since the outfielder reappeared. In other words: The Braves cannot simply rely on their supernova to save them. To be fair, some of the underperformance to this point can be pinned on poor luck and batted-ball sequencing. The Braves' run differential (+29) is that of a team five games over .500, not four games under. Monday's win over New York moved Atlanta to a still substandard 11-19 in one-run games, largely a byproduct of closer Raisel Iglesias' shaky performance thus far in 2025. Advertisement Injuries have played a part as well. Being without Acuña for eight weeks was a significant impediment. All-Star hurler Reynaldo Lopez has been on the shelf all season. Flame-throwing ace Spencer Strider has taken some time, in his return from Tommy John surgery, to round into form. Not to be forgotten, the team's biggest free-agent addition, Jurickson Profar, has been serving a PED suspension since spring training. He's expected to join the Braves when his suspension expires on July 2. This past weekend brought even more bad news: Reigning Cy Young winner Chris Sale will be out for an undetermined amount of time after suffering a fractured rib cage while making a diving catch during his most recent outing. Still, Atlanta's humbling first half has been about more than bad bounces and boo-boos. Advertisement This offense, which set multiple MLB records just two years ago with many of the same characters, has been an utter disappointment. Atlanta ranks 22nd in runs scored, 18th in homers and 19th in wRC+. There are many culprits. Spectacular as his center-field glove might be, Michael Harris II's OPS starts with a five. Meanwhile, the Profar fill-ins in left field have combined for a .540 OPS, the second-lowest mark of any team in baseball. New shortstop Nick Allen is a defensive magician, but he's also homerless with a .574 OPS in 229 plate appearances. Marcell Ozuna, who finished fourth in MVP voting a year ago, is playing through a hip issue that has sapped his power and limited his output. Austin Riley has been solid but far below his All-Star standards. Yet no performance has been more concerning than that of three-time All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies, who has the ninth-lowest OPS this year among qualified hitters. All the batted ball data further confirms the Curacaoan's sharp decline. Albies has always been a free swinger, even at his best, but in the past, he was able to overcome that aggression by impacting the baseball with authority in the air and to the pull side. So far in 2025, those traits are nowhere to be seen. A startling lack of organizational depth has only amplified the big-league struggles. When Profar got popped for juicing, the Braves were forced to turn to free-agent band-aid Alex Verdugo, who has struggled mightily. The upper minors are barren of helpful pieces, on both sides of the ball. Even worse, Atlanta's farm system is light on impact prospects who could be flipped for reinforcements at the deadline. Advertisement To be fair, this organization — as president of baseball operations Alex Anthopolous is wont to remind you — has been down and out before. They battled back to clinch a spot in the postseason in the final game a year ago. And most famously, the 2021 Braves had 7.7% playoff odds on July 28. Then Anthopolous made lemonade out of nothing at the deadline, and the club rallied to sneak into a wild-card spot. That season ended under a downpour of confetti and a parade through the streets of Atlanta. But the shining glory of 2021 has little impact on the stark realities of 2025, something Snitker seems to understand. 'Every one of these seasons has its own identity,' he told reporters before Tuesday's game. 'You can't just sit back and think it's going to happen, because it doesn't work that way.' As unique as each season might appear — Snitker, for instance, has a frosty, white goatee now — the Braves do have a striking amount of continuity on offense. Albies, Acuña, Ozuna, Riley, Harris, Matt Olson and Sean Murphy have all been around for multiple playoff runs. Anthopolous has received much praise for his willingness and ability to secure many of those players on team-friendly, long-term deals. But that strategy works only as well as the players perform. Advertisement Still, this season, nearly half-gone, is also very much alive. There is ample time for the Braves to find their way back to October. Dodging any additional big injuries will be vital; surviving Sale's absence will be tough as is. Getting more production from the bottom of the order is another must. It's still too early to say whether this club — winners of five straight against the Mets over the past two weeks — has actually turned a corner, but there's more than enough runway for optimism. Having a superstar such as Acuña back in the fold certainly helps.

Combat couture: Gen Z blasted as ‘messed up' for flaunting viral ‘World War III' camo outfits
War — what is it good for? Fashionably stuntin', according to tone deaf Gen Zers. Committed to looking bomb amid the mounting friction between the US and Iran, carefree clotheshorses are curating cutesy 'World War III' ensembles ahead of the potential bloodshed. 'What I'm wearing to WW3,' Paulina, a NYC influencer, wrote in the closed-captions of a vid, donning an oversized military camouflage shirt. Following a few quick 'fit changes, the platinum blond went on to pose in a camo-inspired bikini, meant to 'distract the enemy,' before flaunting mini shorts paired with a chunky belt, a brown one-shoulder shirt and an army fatigue jacket. As a posh pièce de résistance, she closed the virtual fashion show in camo-colored pants with a matching baseball cap, a chocolate crop top and flip flops. And Paulina's no lone soldier in the doomsday dressing charge. It's a contemporary, albeit controversial, Gen Z fad that's being hailed both 'iconic' and idiotic. In the days since Israel's preemptive strike against Iran on June 13, prompting President Trump to target three of the nation's nuclear facilities Saturday, twentysomethings have turned the turmoil into TikTok tomfoolery. 3 Mortified social media users have blasted the World War III fashion trends, calling its Gen Z promoters 'sick' and 'messed up.' STAN GILLILAND/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Armed with pop star Kesha's hit track 'Blow' as the soundtrack to their social media silliness, and '#WW3' as their unifying tag, goofball youngsters are making light of the mayhem with military draft jokes and overseas shopping quips. 'Is this gonna affect my SHEIN order?' a single-minded Zoomer commented, referring to potential pandemonium. 3 Avery plans to wow in skimpy camo fits should World War III erupt. @ 'I wanted a summer glow up, not a summer blow up,' another teased. The seriousness of the global situation aside, the newcomers to adulthood — especially those with penchants for pizzazz — are combatting the chaos in combat couture. 'First war kinda nervous,' Avery, a digital tastemaker, captioned a clip featuring her WW3 wardrobe, which includes a camouflage mini skirt and an army green bomber jacket. 3 Apson showed off his military-inspired style in a slew of eye-catching looks. @apsonarmy/TikTok Apson, a Tiktok-verified virtuoso, scored over 3.9 million views on his wartime wardrobe, sporting a head-to-toe green two-piece, as well as a distressed top and jeans getup. Christina, a stay-at-home mom of two, turned cyber heads with her World War III gear. However, unfortunately for the fashion plate, her call-of-duty-inspired cosplay also turned a few stomachs. 'Do you realize how sick and messed up in the head you have to be to come up with stuff like this?' questioned a commenter beneath Christina's post. 'Lives are at stake,' the peeved protester added. 'The future of our world is unfolding in front of us and YOU POST THIS?.' 'WTF is WRONG WITH YOU???.'

Latest ‘Love Island USA' Season 7 Dumping Turns Controversial With Islander Ace Greene At The Center Of The Firestorm
If you're on the right side of TikTok or any social media platform, you are being inundated with hot takes from the latest dumping on Love Island USA Season 7. Peacock streamed on Sunday night an episode of its hit reality dating series, which upset viewers following its outcome. More from Deadline All Of Ariana Madix's Outfits As Host Of 'Love Island USA' Season 7 Bravo's 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Pays Homage To Porsha Williams' Late Cousin Londie Favors: 'It's Just A Huge Loss' Hulu's 'Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives' Season 2 Reunion Teaser Previews Demi Engemann: "We Are Exposing It All" Viewers had been voting for their favorite Islanders to remain in the villa to continue their quest to find love. The episode that streamed on Sunday, June 22, saw the results with six Islanders left vulnerable and at risk of being dumped. Jeremiah Brown, José 'Pepe' García, and Austin Shepard were the boys with the fewest votes, while Iris Kendall, Hannah Fields, and Amaya Espinal were the girls with the fewest votes. Two Islanders were dumped from the villa, and the ultimate decision was left to the contestants who were saved by the public. Ultimately, the remaining Islanders dumped Jeremiah and Hannah, a controversial move that left viewers at home perplexed as to why this decision was made. RELATED: In the case of Hannah, she had found a connection with Pepe, and things had been moving toward them becoming a solid couple. The girls taking her out of the competition was senseless, as Iris and Amaya didn't have a similar connection with someone else. Similarly, the boys dumping Jeremiah made no sense as he was one of the OG boys who had finally found peace with bombshell Andreina Santos, following a tumultuous coupling with Huda Mustafa. Pepe is a newer Islander, while Austin hasn't found a connection with anyone and doesn't seem close to finding one either. RELATED: Although the boys decided to eliminate Jeremiah collectively, social media blames Ace for leading the pack in this way. Despite their rollercoaster of a relationship, Jeremiah and Huda were solid and willing to work things out between them when things got tough as they were committed to each other. However, Islanders were getting upset at how toxic their relationship became, ruining the vibes in the villa. Earlier in the season, Ace talked with Jeremiah, who pointed out that he quickly coupled up with Huda and didn't explore his options in the villa. Jeremiah seemingly took Ace's advice, got flirty with bombshell Iris, and moved on from Huda, ultimately breaking them up. Many saw that as Ace being strategic in breaking up the only other couple that had the potential to win the series. RELATED: Ace is coupled up with Chelley Bissainthe, someone he had an eye on from the beginning. However, in one of the first couplings, he opted to couple up with Amaya, despite having the option to choose Chelley. Ace seemingly never gave Amaya an opportunity, as he quickly found anything to distance himself from her and told her he would continue to explore his connection with Chelley. This is another instance where viewers see Ace as a game player who plays up to the cameras because now they get to see the 'struggle' of him winning Chelley's heart. Ace and Chelley ultimately coupled up, and after the dumping on Sunday night, they are the only solid couple left in the villa with a clear path to victory. Social media users have been sharing their reactions, blaming Ace for being jealous of Jeremiah and his most significant threat in the game. Love Island USA Season 7 will continue to spice things up as Casa Amor starts Monday, June 23, which can potentially change the game.
