Summary
On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Slate staff writer Nadira Goffe to answer the question everyone is asking since he appeared in a viral moment from the Oscars’ red carpet: Who TF is Jake Shane? The TikTokker has a podcast, an upcoming Hulu show, and a role at a candy company, but is best known for just being around famous people. He insists he’s not a journalist, but he’s not quite a celebrity himself, either. Is this our first “professional clout-chaser” (non-derogatory)?
This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.

| 0:37.7 | the big internet moments because that's how I consumed it because I was being held hostage |
| 0:44.8 | at the Holiday Inn at Heathrow Airport due to a canceled flight. And so there was no way with |
| 0:50.9 | the time zone I could watch it in real time, but I was the next day catching up. |
| 1:00.2 | I would say the big internet moment for me is Club Chaleming to hang up her hat. |

| 1:17.6 | Salome retweeted something, another tweet to the effect of it's really humbling. It's really |
| 1:25.9 | humbling when you find out why everyone hates someone that you've been defending, basically. |
| 1:31.3 | And then she retweeted it saying, like, I know the feeling or I feel the same or, you know, something to that effect. |
