The Lea Michele Renaissance Is Nigh (feat. Alex Walker)

Did you know that Elon Musk and Amber Heard allegedly had a threesome with Cara DeLevigne? Well, if you didn’t, you do now! You also probably haven’t been spending time on TikTok, where true crime creators have been obsessively tracking the ongoing Johnny Depp/Amber Heard defamation trial, with predictably gross and skeevy results. This week, Brittany and Ej talk about creators profiting off misinfo about the trial, as well as the inevitable Lea Michele renaissance (another beloved Spring Awakening alum makes a shocking guest appearance), Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s blood-drinking rituals, the scourge of non-famous creative directors on Raya, and why himbos on TikTok are crushing watermelons with their thighs. Featuring Alex Walker, a candidate for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district running against batshit QAnon head Lauren Boebert, who has a rather unorthodox TikTok strategy that has made him the target of both progressives and poop fetishists.
