Sydney Sweeney Todd

This week, the lads examine Sydney Sweeney’s new advertising campaign, and look at how the betting industry is expanding and taking celebrities with them, and what that says about the future of American soft power.

They also talk about George Bush (the gouache painter) and the final stage of 9/11 memeification. Phoebe also recalls a story of telling a fellow parent a fun fact.
