Your Music Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad

Matt and Jamie tackle the complicated nuances of the prestigious Video Music Awards. Just kidding, we talk about what a pointless train wreck it is and how everyone involved is awful. Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and wayyyy too much Kanye. co-host Jamie Ignao

We discuss the first single from The Pope's upcoming Prog Rock album. Terrance Martin is a producer or something, and I guess at the forefront of shoe-horning jazz into pop albums. Then when we run out of music to talk about we alienate everyone with religion! Then we stick with the theme of all the things you're not supposed to talk about and follow up religion with politics. When is Donald Trump releasing a prog rock album? Maybe we should make one for him. Also YouTubers, Felicia Day, how are these related? They're not. Shut up. You're still reading so just listen to it. co-host Rich
