Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham Runs for Austin City Council, Sydney Sweeney's Sports Betting Controversy & Jasmine Crockett's Chris Brown Backlash

Sydney Sweeney released a mostly-naked sports betting ad for Novig. Meredith and Rebecca break down why athletes are rightfully upset, why Sydney Sweeney as an equity stakeholder changes the calculus, and what the difference between sports betting and sports trading actually is. Then, Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett gave Chris Brown an official congressional recognition at his concert with Usher, calling it "Black Joy at the Highest Level.” We go through the allegations against Chris Brown, and it is not pretty. Roxane Gay and the internet pushed back hard. Then, the original mom influencer and Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham joins to talk about why she's running for Austin's District 5 city council seat, what constituents are actually telling her on the ground, what MTV financially owed her and never paid, and why she compares James Talarico to Righteous Gems' Baby Billy.
