Summary

In this solo episode Matt covers the award-winning documentary BOYS STATE, dives into his feelings about it, and breaks down why he was so deeply disturbed by what it says about politics and young people in this country today. He then gets into a few other things, including but not limited to: corporations pretending to be woke just to sell their dumb shit, Instagram’s new ‘Reels’ feature, absolutely insane 2020 congressional candidates (like Laura Loomer), and his deep confusion about why Election Day is not a national holiday but some shitty days (like Columbus Day) still are.
