The $75M Paul vs. Askren Fever Dream

The news of Chrissy Tiegan being back on Twitter has Brian and Molly pondering the age old question, "is simping kindness?"Paula Abdul is filling in for Luke Bryan on American Idol and known heterosexual Ryan Seacrest helped welcome her back with a FaceTime from Randy Jackson that instantly transported the audience back to 2007. The biggest Internet event of last week, though, probably had to be the heavily-hyped fight between Jake "The Problem Child" Paul and Ben "The Dad Bod" Askren. After a slap fight hosted by Ric Flair and Pete Davidson, commentary from a slammered Oscar De La Hoya, the weakest undercard fights ever and a heavily lip synced concert we finally got to see the main event. Well, Molly didn't because her illegal stream broke. What everyone else saw was Jake Paul proving to society for the millionth time that only cream and bastards rise.
