Beyoncé Has Better Jeans w. Akilah Hughes

America’s got a long and shameful history with eugenics, and, while history doesn’t repeat itself, it rhymes. As white supremacist ideology permeates everything from Silicon Valley startups to domestic policy in 2025, is it really that far-fetched to notice it in that American Eagle “good jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney? This week, Akilah Hughes joins Erin to break it all down. They also discuss Candace Owens’ low-key hilarious legal battle with the Macrons, MAGA politicians getting their karma, and The Nelk Boys' Netanyahu interview– the children that were left behind are now 30-year-old male podcasters. They wrap up with a petty rant about modern attention spans and how South Park is maybe the only TV show doing it right.
