Oh my God, hi, it's me Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters, the show that treats popular

culture as the most important kind of culture to celebrate, analyze, and perhaps eviscerate it.

Troubled Waters has pit a pair of entertainers against one another in a pop culture battle

to the ego death. To win, each guest will be called upon to use their intelligence,

their rhetorical skills,

the great comebacks that they didn't think of in the moment, and it haunts them to this very day,

to earn the coveted Troubled Waters title Punter Emeritus, which will automatically give their opinion

on what Brat Summer means to you more weight than a civilians.

You're listening to troubled waters. Let's meet our guests.

Our first contestants off-Broadway show about those miscarriages I had,

and other messes I've made will premiere later this month.

It's Bethany Hall.

I'm in Memphis.

So far, I've seen the laundry room.
