As a quick mid-hiatus snack, the boys engage in two quick spontaneous debates. Does a seminal indie rock band have more Spotify listeners than a 90s one hit wonder? Would Kurt Cobain like Vampire Weekend?
The format of this show came directly from the podcast The Great Debates, which is much funnier and more clever than what the boys did. The Great Debates is available everywhere.

By encouraging complacency, did “Hand in my Pocket” pave the way for Trump’s 2016 election win?
Probably not, but it won’t stop the boys from exploring the evergreen pop sentiment “Everything’s gonna be fine” from “3 Little Birds” and “I Can See Clearly Now” to “Float On” and “The Middle.”
Then thank you, India, for sticking around for our discussion of Alanis’ 1998 album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie.
