A Bizarre Twist In Sydney Sweeney's Ad, Theo James Is Sh*t Stirring & Elizabeth Holmes' Next Move
You've seen the Sydney Sweeney ad by now. You've read and watched and listened to the backlash and you've likely felt the disappointment of the Suffragettes slowly crushing your soul. But we've just discovered something that no one is talking about: Sydney allegedly approached THEM with the idea. What the actual f*ckkkkk bro. On today's episode of In The Comments, we're unpacking Sydney Sweeney's motivations. As much as we want to pin this on Sam Levinson or Scooter Braun, is there really an invisible hand to blame? Or is she firmly in control? Also the juicy financial details, including how much she ACTUALLY made from this campaign. Other things on the show today: Nathan Fielder is back in the zeitgeist with his Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. It's dropping next month and here's what you need to know about the documentarian behind the vision to prepare. Spoiler alert: this is NOT going to be a normal documentary. The Gentlemen has us in a chokehold this week. Shall we start a Theo James fan account... And do you know those fake phone calls you can play when you're in a ride share or walking alone? We've prepped some of our own versions. They include a prison release, an ankle monitor, and multiple celebrity impressions.

Exposing Industry Plants, Weird Twin Sh*t & Cancelled Celebrities
Is Ellie Ellis an industry plant? You've seen her on your FYP: the slightly awkward girl with long brown hair and a British accent, putting on makeup and chatting about her day. Simple, endearing, but not necessarily original. And yet... she's gained over 700k followers this week. We investigate infamous industry plants to determine whether the shoe fits. And why "ow my eyes hurt" is a trending search on Tik Tok (it's Carrie Bradshaw's fault) (nah just kidding it's the moon or something). Maybe our eyes are finally turning square omggg. Also the famous twin influencers whose partners didn't sign up for this sh*t: we're talking about Acquired Style. Filming your husband is one thing, but filming him looking like he hates you? A veeeery strange marketing strategy that may be fuelled by twin rivalry. Lol we also played 'guess the cancelled celebrity'. The internet is your oyster, HIGHLY recommend. And for the cherry on top, some worst first date ideas inspired by a viral video. Unfortunately we have an abundance of nightmare dating stories so we simply HAVE to share them. Strap in superstars, we'll see you in the comments xx THE END BITS DM us your craziest stories @ inthecommentspod on Instagram.

The 'Let's Marry Harry' Drama, Wicker Fanfic & A Very Tasteful LA Burglar
Welcome back chickies, we're so happy to have you in the comments with us today! If you saw the title and clicked for fanfic, you're in for a treat. This week Kaia Gerber admitted to writing fan fiction for 'wellness' purposes, and as former Watt-pad kids, we've never been more excited. We performing the fanfic we wrote about each other, including mythical creatures and celebrity breakups. Our producer gave us a word count and we ignored it (sorry not sorry). Also, would you marry Harry Jowsey? One man, twenty women and A LOT of shit stirring. The new show by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network is, somehow, even more strange than we anticipated. And a piece of furniture famous for the wrong reasons. Why is the Mah Jong couch constantly referred to in songs and media? Well, it's more complicated than you might think, and involves a series of robberies. Imagine deciding that your niche as a burglar is brightly coloured couches. Iconic. Plus the Kardashian/Jenner birthday party that has the internet confused, and why we could never be friends with a billionaire. Strap in superstars, we'll see you in the comments xx P.S. We spent the day handing out love notes on the street to strangers, so if you found us out in the world, welcome! THE END BITS DM us your craziest stories @ inthecommentspod on Instagram.

The Influencers Banned From Nantucket, Role Model's Hard Launch & Flute Beatboxing
We're back for round two baby. And thank god we are, because there's a LOT to unpack In The Comments this week. Role Model hard launched his relationship with Dakota Johnson by featuring her in a song, and can you think of anything more wholesome. We love them, but some people are confused so we've got a timeline to track their sparks (no pun intended) (sorry Chris Martin of Coldplay fame). Something happened in Nantucket. Do we know where Nantucket is? Not really. Ceebs to google it. But a shop has gone viral for banning influencers and now we'd like to understand... why. One of us is obsessed with Master Wu, the guy who teaches Kung Fu and whacks people with big sticks on Tik Tok. He's amassed over a million followers, and we'd like to sign up. Plus, a listener story about erectile disfunction and flute beatboxing. The headline writes itself. Strap in superstars, we'll see you in the comments xx THE END BITS DM us your craziest stories @ inthecommentspod on Instagram.

Zoella's Donkey Sanctuary, A Hollywood Prison Break & Our Favourite 'Child' Star
Welcome to In The Comments! We've got a couch, two fully charged phones, and at least 20 hours of daily screen time between us. Strap in, because we're unpacking all the crazy sh*t we've seen on our FYPs this week: Christopher Nolan, director of pretentious films (The Odyssey, Interstellar, Dark Knight Rises etc), has a secret sibling. AND he's an alleged criminal. The story is so insane it could be a movie (okayyy we're foreshadowing). Have you scrolled past that little blond kid who posts home videos from the early 2000s? Well, we've tracked him down. Olivia Rodrigo has been papped with a new brunette. And we listened to 'Cigarette Smoke' 267 times in June so do with that what you will. Her new guy works in finance, and ffs if another lanky brunette starts talking about Bitcoin we will scream. And we're leading an investigation on internet icons who have disappeared. We saw Ethan Dolan holding a child (??) It was like seeing an ex. Also Zoella has an 'illegal' donkey farm we think lol Love you superstars xx THE END BITS Support independent women's media.
