Erwin brings up Alex Jones’ dumb conspiracy theories, and JV talks about how Zucks and company need to grow up.

S2E6! JV and Erwin talk about being on Spotify and flex on the podcast. LOL. Their main topic is sports fandom, and the investment into it. Erwin brings up the ROI of being a fan, and JV talks about how fandom seeks into e-sports. THE ULTIMATE TIE-IN TO OUR E-SPORTS EP. Also sucks to be a San Diego fan. No over/under this time. Maybe we killed it?

Difficult to Please Season 2, EP 3! We address BTS, the K-POP group, because BTS is youth culture. We can’t hide their influence on youth culture, even if we don’t know what is going on in their videos or why BTS is super poppin. We don’t discuss K-POP as a genre besides Erwin’s washed rants about the K-POP video countdown on international channel back in 1999. It’s really about BTS’ hold on youth culture. Heads up, we sound old here y’all.
