Oh my God. Hi. Oh my God, hi. I'm Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters. The show that treats popular

culture is the most important kind of culture because, well, frankly, it's the culture that most of us

feel like we're right about. And are we wrong? No. To this end, Troubled Waters pits a pair of

entertainers against each other in a pop culture battle to the ego death. To win this battle, each guest will be called upon to use their intelligence, their rhetorical

flair, the great comebacks they've been saving in their notes out for the last several years.

To earn the coveted title, Pundit Emeritus, which will automatically give their opinion on

which WGA strike location has the funniest

picket signs. More weight than

a civilians. You are listening

to troubled waters. Let's meet our guests, our first contestant,

hosts the podcast, we watch wrestling and watch it.

Which, by the way, when I first read that, I didn't see podcasts,

and I just thought it was one long title.

And I was like, they really watch wrestling.

We watch wrestling and watch it. And I was like, okay, we we watch wrestling and watch it and was like okay

we get it anyway it is the vhs tic-tok man himself matt mccarthy welcome matt well hello there

And it's turned out to be a wonderful little adventure.
