AMERICAN EAGLE SYDNEY SWEENEY HAS GREAT JEANS
Transcript
I think she's really cringe, and I think the place she's taken her career is completely cringe worthy. People have so much emotion about it that she's lost 200,000 followers. Mhmm. I think the worst thing I'll say though, I think in the first couple of instances of controversy that she found herself in, I was like, oh, maybe it's bad luck. Maybe she didn't see it coming.

And then part of me is, though, like, she is rage baiting us in all these different ways, and we are still taking the better.
