The episode kicks off with a hilarious callback to last week’s “trade” of Arya, as the guys dive into a discussion about athletes who were cut from their leagues—only to claw their way back in.

From there, it’s onto the headlines:

‍

👩⚖️ A surprising PR win from Gwyneth Paltrow and Astronomers Canada

🎾 A wave of athlete no-shows at the Canadian National Bank Open

🗝️ And Olivia Chow handing The Weeknd the Key to the City—sparking Luke’s passionate take on what mayors should be making headlines for, and a heated moment on Drake's “betrayal.”

‍

That launches the crew into a deeper convo about Drake's evolving legacy, his UK pivot, and whether “the 6ix” is still home.

The episode wraps with a high-level look at consumerism—how much choice we really have—and sets up next week’s deeper dive into the system behind it all.

“Just because you can buy it, doesn’t mean you’re in control.”
