Lauren and Ben emerge from a months-long depression nap for a long discussion about how garbage 2017 really is, and how to cope with it. (And Ben fat-fingers the audio controls, which completely screws up his sound. Apologies all around.)

Surprise: we're back! Silicon Valley's still full of willfully ignorant people, white boys on YouTube are still largely problematic, and the most fire diss track just came from...the White House?

People and things that have received their due this week: Caitlin Jenner, Uber, and Nicki Minaj. The jury's still out on Jeff Sessions, though.

Oh, also: buy shETHER on iTunes.

We regret to inform you that Nothing Matters is BACK FOR 2017. Turn off that garbage inauguration and put us in your earbuds instead!

Listen: fighting over who gets to eat the drumstick is so last century. Turn up the volume as we get you ready for the inevitable political discussion around the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Double up your Xannies, kids--we're finishing this election with a giant MEHHHHHHHH.
