After a long Memorial Day weekend, Paul jumps back into the Tuesday commute already feeling like the week is off schedule — and then dives headfirst into a brutally honest reaction to the American Music Awards.

From confusion over modern music categories to wondering who half the performers even are anymore, this episode turns into a funny, slightly cranky, very relatable Gen X-style rant about today’s music industry and award shows.

Paul talks about:

• Why the AMAs feel completely different from the Grammy Awards
• The bizarre “Best Throwback Song” category
• Seeing artists like Black Eyed Peas, Goo Goo Dolls, Twenty One Pilots, Linkin Park, and Billy Idol mixed into a show dominated by newer pop acts
• Why BTS and global music culture still feels disconnected to some American audiences
• How award shows now feel overly scripted and manufactured
• And why Billy Idol getting pushed to the end of the broadcast felt criminal
