The One With Ohio’s Senate Race and Ye’s Hate Speech
Manage episode 345510940 series 3345967
Today, Jay continues our tour of Senate races with a stop in Ohio, where Dem. nominee Tim Ryan is being left to fend for himself against J.D. Vance as the national party opts not to invest in the race. Jay questions why.
Then, Suzanne tells us about how German athletic wear company Adidas has finally dropped their Yeezy partnership in light of Kanye West’s incessant antisemitic remarks. Jay and Suzanne ask: is Ye being ‘canceled’? Or is he being ‘fired’? And what’s the difference?
Plus: Sinead O’Connor, Contact lens horror stories, TYME Machines, and a ranked list of the best (and worst) Friends characters.
