About this episode

The gang explores the tale of FreddyLA7, the social media handle of a German World Cup tourist who, following viral attention, has received negative attention following old tweets, private plane offers, and other various paid experience at absolutely no expense. Is this a simple story of jealousy, or is there a deeper lesson to be learned here? They also dive into the resignation of Keir Starmer, the UK's 7th Prime Minister in a decade. What exactly is Britain looking for in a leader, and will it ever find it?
