Summary

In this episode Matt breaks down something so unbelievably and overwhelmingly confusing that it actually goes all the way back around again and becomes crystal clear: the hypocrisy on display in the current battle over the sudden vacancy on the Supreme Court. Later on, he covers a few other topics as well, including but not limited to: Hitler, world history, Hollywood history, the 1980 William Friedkin / Al Pacino film ‘CRUISING’, and finally— Matthew McConaughey, his overall genius, the genius way he laughs, and the deeply unsettling fact that he goes by ‘Matthew’ instead of ‘Matt’.
