Larry and Thomas discuss Ed Sheeran winning his copyright infringement trial, in which he fought allegations that he stole music from the 1973 Marvin Gaye hit "Let's Get It On". Then they talk about Adidas being sued by investors who claim the firm knew about Kanye West's problematic behaviour years before it ended their partnership. They also chat about other sponsorship issues like the Bud Light controversy after a ban on the beer was called when they featured Dylan Mulvaney (a trans model) on their can. And lastly - they wonder about the current Writers Guild of America strike which is an ongoing labor dispute between the Writers Guild of America labor union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to secure better compensation and equity structures for TV and Film Writers. They also discuss how the writers strike affects the late night talk shows and James Corden of The Late, Late Show leaving after it was revealed that his show lost 20 million dollars a year.
