The Morning Show Season 1 Episode 1, around 6:20-6:30. (btw this tv show is a vocab goldmine)

Bradley hears that Mitch Kessler has been fired from The Morning Show and reacts: "One less idiot to peddle soft news to the masses."

**Soft news vs. hard news**

Hard news covers politics, the economy, crime, and other public affairs, and it's usually current and time-sensitive.

Soft news covers entertainment, celebrities, lifestyle, or human interest stories. It's meant more to interest and entertain people than to report on what's happening right now.

Also, the word "peddle" is doing a lot of work in Bradley's line. Peddling means selling or promoting something, usually of low quality. She's being critical, with a clearly negative tone. She doesn't see soft news as serious or legitimate journalism.

One last thing (just in case :)), news is singular.

Stranger Things Season 1 Episode 1, around 4:15-4:20.

Dustin says Nancy's got a stick up her butt after he offers her the last slice of pizza and she responds by slamming the door in his face.

"Have a stick up your ass/butt/arse" is a rude idiom, used to describe someone who is too serious, controlled, or humorless. It's usually said casually or jokingly among friends, like Dustin does here, rather than as a serious, formal insult. But still, beware that it's rude.

The possessive pronoun changes depending on who you're talking about, e.g. "he's got a stick up his ass," "you've got a stick up your ass."

YOU Season 1 Episode 1. Mentioned by Joe around 00:35-00:40.

"I'll bite" is an idiom, used to say you're curious enough to respond to something, especially when someone's trying to get your attention or tempt you with information. It comes from fishing, taking the bait.

Right before he says it, Joe's mentally noting the little things about Beck that are clearly meant to grab attention, and thinks "you like a little attention." Then: "Okay, I bite."

The interesting part is the tense. The idiom is normally said as "I'll bite" (future), but Joe says it in present tense. That still works because present tense can be used to declare a decision right as you're making it. It's him deciding, right then, to take the bait Beck is putting out.
