On today's episode:
1. On today’s show, we’ve waded into some very uncharted territory for us. You might have seen online that Wall Street is freaking out about companies like GameStop, AMC, and other brick-and-mortar stores, and apparently, it all has something to do with a viral Reddit thread?

Cue extreme confusion for ALL of us. To help us make sense of what’s going down, from the financial aspects to the memes that inevitably followed, we brought in BuzzFeed’s social news reporter Tanya Chen, who’s chronicled all of the memes related to GameStop’s surging stock price.

2. We finally have photos of Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana.

3. Is sleeping 8 hours a day a capitalistic ploy? This TikToker thinks so.
