Hey there, folks. It's me Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters. The show that treats popular

culture is the most important kind of culture because, honestly, it is the kind of culture that

bums us all out the least. Now, back in the before times, we would pit two teams of comedians

against one another in a pop culture battle royale. But now, still, teaming up with another

person who's not in your quarantine pod is

possibly lethal, definitely more frowned upon than trying to say happy holidays around the

biggest snowflakes in the fucking world. So for now, it's one comic against another. To win this

battle, each one will be called upon to use their smarts, their rhetorical skills, their good

comebacks that they've been saving in their notes app to earn the coveted Troubled Waters title

Pundit Emeritus, thereby giving their opinion on Whamageddon, for example, more weight than

a civilian's.

Let's get into it.

You're listening to Troubled Waters.

Thank you. than a civilians. Let's get into it., our first contestant.

Alex. Hi. Thank you so much for having me. How are you? I'm good. I mean, I've been having

Don't, don't taunt them, though.

Just be nice.
