I'm Justin Charity. I'm Kate Nibbs. Welcome to Damage Control on the Channel 33 Network,

a podcast where we have an awkward upsets, excites and divides us.

We're talking about the Atlanta rapper 21 Savage, who faces deportation to the UK a week after

ice detained him hours before the Super Bowl.

But first, have you ever read something that you knew you were going to hate and then you read it anyways?

This week, Esquire published something we both read knowing it would probably suck,

which got us thinking, why do we hate read?

Okay, so this week, like, pretty much every week ever, I read something that I hated.

I heavily suspected I wouldn't like it before I read it because people I respected were

criticizing it on Twitter in a way that certainly made it seem like it was poorly written and poorly

thought out. And then I read it anyways. The thing that I read that I did not like was this month's

Esquire Editors Letter. I think it was the first time I've ever even read an Esquire Editors Letter.

It's a bad piece of writing for so many ways I could probably talk about the ways in which it is

bad for like three separate podcasts. But I think that would be boring and a more interesting

topic of conversation that it brought up is why did I even do this? Why do we hate read?

I truly don't know. Have you been hate reading Justin?
