Polymarket reportedly paid creators to post videos of themselves "winning" bets that didn't exist. The Wall Street Journal found 118 videos showing nearly $900,000 in winnings — bets that, in reality, would have lost more than $166,000, placed on a creatively misspelled lookalike site.

Meanwhile, Wendy's is drawing more Wall Street Bets chatter than SpaceX, 80% of its borrowable shares are already sold short, and the internet has decided a $7 burger stock might be the next GameStop.

Ricky Mulvey and Malcolm Ethridge discuss.:

- The summer box office recovery, and what movie audiences want.

- The Polymarket "poiymarket" fake-bet scheme.

- Whether Wendy's is the next GameStop.

- Netflix as a "durable good" and why it's trading at a discount to the market.

- The clipping economy, why one operator estimates 90% of what you see online is advertising in disguise.
