Brad Pitt is Drinking Again

In this episode, Suzy Weiss and Dan Ahdoot unpack this week's very important culture news and spotlight the bizarre stories you probably missed. They celebrate Brad Pitt’s return to drinking “in a more restrained manner” after seven years of sobriety. They explore the Tokyo government’s decision to let men wear shorts to the office—and the resulting concern over “leg hair harassment” from the women forced to look at their hairy shins. And they investigate the extraordinary case of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, whose alleged fabrications include being mute until age 11, illiterate until 18, running 600 miles in six days, and surviving a monthslong coma. Plus: Jussie Smollett and Karamo Brown’s blossoming relationship, what Olivia Rodrigo dating a finance guy means for Suzy’s romantic prospects, and why Bumble is giving up on women making the first move.
