Summary

In this episode Matt breaks down the recent history of terrible songs that have somehow captured the world’s ear, from ‘Dynamite’ to ‘The Macarena’, and explains his theory about how this has happened despite everyone knowing these songs are absolutely fucking terrible. From there he uncovers strange truths about Vin Diesel — from his perplexing appeal to his historically fucked up speaking voice to his new career as a singer(!!!) — and then gets into a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to: what to expect from the first presidential debate, why the political endorsements of celebrities are utterly absurd, and Donald Trump’s finally-available tax returns, which show that he somehow, inexplicably and against all logic, spent seventy thousand dollars on his hair in a single year.
