Alix Earle Controversy, Epic NBA Scandal, & Daisy Chain Highlights | Episode 7

What's in your algorithm? Our algorithms determine the news we receive. Literally ALL NEWS. Couples no longer know what is most important to the other in a given week...unless they watch Switching Positions Podcast! Matt and Lizzie each bring a new story at the top of their respective algorithms that the other hasn't heard - then argue for which story matters most. But FIRST, together they switch YOUR position on a news item. In this week's episode of the Switching Positions podcast, hosts Matt and Lizzie discuss three main topics: Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Festival makes history and is the item they team up to switch YOUR position on, with the Lilith Fair backstory, surprise sets from Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette, and $20 million raised after Melinda Gates doubled the total. Earle Meets World (Alix Earle's new Netflix reality show) is reviewed by Lizzie, who argues the critics got it wrong and that the Alex Cooper and Call Her Daddy fallout is the real story. And the Kawhi Leonard salary cap scandal punishment is handed down, with the LA Clippers losing five first round picks and paying a $30 million fine over $46 million in endorsement deals that required nothing of him.
