We've grown up surrounded by beauty ideals that promised confidence, but often delivered shame.

In a special episode of a millennial mind, I sat down with Nicola Adams to explore how

appearance-based compliments and body talk shape our self-worth without us realizing it.

Rising and shine, my friends. I'm B. Spear. And I'm Sammy Sage. And for the very last time, this is American Fever Dream presented by Betches News. A show that is not crying because it's over, but is happy because it happened. Yes. You know, this isn't the last of us that you'll be seeing. No, it's just the last of this particular iteration of the show.

We're doing different stuff. Just because political chit-chat show is too much for people. But by the time we say something, three hours later, it's crazy. So we're going to do more in more live stuff. You'll get a substack thing. But you know, this won't be the last you'll hear from us, but it will be the last you hear from us on this particular channel on Tuesday mornings with this regular cadence. And this will be the last time you see this shirt. Don't worry about that either. Okay. So I got this shirt in Texas at a boot barn because I wanted a souvenir. And for like literally two years now, I've been trying to wear it. And I was like, okay, it's like too much, but it's not for today. It's a celebration shirt for today. It's perfect for today. It is a fever dream of a shirt, if you will. Perhaps if you had headed to a Trump rally at any point. Well, I thought I could wear it on even like Fourth of July or something, but I was like, no, it's too much. No, it's too. Not in this economy. No, not in this state of New York, maybe upstate.

I don't know.

We're just going to let it rip today.

We just collected a bunch of thoughts, random thoughts that we're going to discuss as usual.

We're not even going to pretend to give it a structure.

First thing I want to talk about, Sydney Sweeney and that American Eagle commercial.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Here's the thing. American Eagle is a Jewish-owned company. I don't know if a lot of people know that because the point that's out here right now is that it's eugenicsy, it's Nazi-ish. And not to say that that it's not, because it is eugenicsy and Nazi-ish, but it, American Eagle is a Jewish own company.

And so I was like okay I just think it's stupid I think they were so I think this is

why you need diversity on teams because literally anybody from a marginalized background would

have told you that this is a red flag here's my take on this is that if you watch it without sound, it actually is totally fine.

So it seems really weird that people are calling it eugenicsy just based on if you only watch it without sound.

It's actually kind of a good commercial.
