The hosts of Wake Up Call tackle a heartfelt “Ethicist” question from The New York Times Magazine about a mother supporting her teenage son who may be gay, sparking an honest discussion about coming out, acceptance, and family conversations. Later, the team dives into Costco’s surprising move to sell weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, debating the ethics and health impacts of their popularity. The show ends on a lighter note, celebrating Temple University’s newest emotional support dog, Barkley the chocolate lab.
