In this episode Matt covers many topics, including but not limited to: actors who suddenly decide that they are also singers, Korean boy band sensation BTS’s depressing holiday rendition of their hit song ‘Dynamite’, Smokey Robinson’s Cameo video in which he mispronounces a word (which makes Matt cry laughing), everyone’s strange obsession with cooking shows (particularly ‘The Great British Baking Show’ and one of its hosts Paul Hollywood), and of course the totally demented reaction from Trumpworld in response to the latest blow to their fantasy that Trump actually won the 2020 election even though he very very very veryyyyy obviously did not win the 2020 election.

In today’s episode Matt touches on a wider-than-usual range of topics, including but not limited to: the so-called ‘War on Christmas’ that doesn’t exist even though many American Christians insist it does, Donald Trump’s ongoing insistence that he won the 2020 election even though he for sure lost, the maximally confusing yet somehow maximally sensical KFC-branded Lifetime ‘mini-movie’ called ‘A Recipe For Seduction’ (in which Mario Lopez plays COLONEL FUCKING SANDERS!) — and the surprising litany of problems that arise when someone asks someone else ‘are you ok?’ in front of a group of people.

In this episode Matt breaks down some of the wrong things men do. The list is long. Matt gets mad as he goes point by point. Then in the second half of the episode he shits on evangelical Christian ‘prophets’, with audio clips to help drive his point home.

Matt is back in Los Angeles! Weeeee! In this episode he talks about the guy who got COVID and almost ruined the entire movie he was working on in Montana. After detailing how much of an irresponsible asshole that guy is and how much Matt hates him, Matt covers a wide range of topics including but not limited to: Rudy Giuliani’s terrifying hair dye-streaked face, the crazy religious MAGA people who have now turned on Tucker Carlson of all people, and the kind of crazy shit YouTube does to our poor little brains.

Still holed up in a weird hotel in Montana, Matt covers the presidential election, breaks down Joe Biden’s weird victory, digs into the insanity that has ensued since Election Day— and forecasts the insanity that is still to come. He also makes up some very good brand new lyrics to The Village People’s ‘YMCA’ and plays clips of ‘prophet’ pastors losing their shit over the fact that a Trump landslide, which they boldly and confidently prophesied, did not come to pass.

In this special Election Day episode, Matt shares his feelings about voting, the election, the election’s potential outcomes, how to behave if the person you voted for wins, and how excited he is that the next time he sits (or lays) down to record an episode, the election will finally be over. Matt also breaks down the way Donald Trump dances at his rallies— to The Village People’s ‘YMCA’, as though he is aggressively and gleefully jerking off two guys— and comes to a surprising conclusion about it.

Matt dedicates the first half of this episode to politics, covering topics such as what’s on Hunter Biden’s laptop, the third and final Trump / Biden debate, and the state of the 2020 presidential race with just over a week to go until Election Day. Later in the episode he moves on from politics to share his thoughts on two very different men: Jesse Lee Peterson and, unsurprisingly, Vin Diesel. Lastly, Matt touches on what the fuck he’s doing in Montana, and fills us in on how unbelievably / unacceptably cold it is there.

Writer Jon Sternfeld joins Matt to discuss his fascinating new book, ‘Unprepared: America In The Time Of Coronavirus’, which chronicles how the pandemic unfolded, chronologically and in the words of the people handling it — from the scientists to the doctors to the politicians — without any added political or social commentary. Matt and Jon have a wide-ranging conversation about the book, its contents, how it was written, how its rare form of objectivity was achieved, what’s taken place since Jon finished writing it, what it says about America today— and what it tells us about what’s to come.

In this episode Matt wades into the controversy over Columbus Day, tells us what Christopher Columbus the man was really like, and wonders how and why we could possibly still have a national holiday named after such a person. From there he gets into a few other topics, including but not limited to: some truly bonkers conspiracy theories being pushed by the president of the United States, the annoying guy leading the massive Christian ‘protest’ gatherings all across the country right now, and one particular thing that very devout religious people often have in common with serial killers and mass murderers.

In this episode Matt shows off his new Vin Diesel soundboard, tells us why the fly on Mike Pence’s head at the VP debate made him so happy, flies into a rage about Donald Trump’s propagandistic ‘medical exam’ on Fox News, and explodes with fury over a Portland mayoral candidate’s idiotic and perplexing choice of clothing at a recent fundraising event, which featured the likenesses of legendarily terrible and murderous people such as Joseph Stalin.
