One Last Thing 8/24: Hayley Kiyoko, Josie Totah, Garrett Clayton, Max Bemis, Male Cheerleaders, Alyssa Edwards, BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB!!!!

19 minutes

Let's not bury the lede: Billionaire Boys Club made $126 on its opening day. But before we talk about that, we have some other news! We congratulate Hayley Kiyoko on her VMA, and also try to figure out what VMA she won, exactly, then talk about our favorite child actress Josie Totah, who came out as trans and was inspired by, you guessed it, Lea Michele. Two other people also came out this week: Garrett Clayton (star of Hairspray Live) and Max Bemis (lead singer of Say Anything), and after we do some research about them, we talk about the NFL's first male cheerleaders! After a quick shout out to Alyssa Edwards' new Netflix show, we try to figure out how many people exactly saw Billionaire Boys Club, and (hopefully) close the book forever on Mr. Spacey. Thank god!
