Matt dedicates this shorter-than-usual solo episode almost entirely to one topic: the prevalence of extreme and immediate ‘hot takes’, why he is overwhelmed by them, the hypocrisy they breed, and what he thinks is a better reaction to each and every news story than just shooting off a knee-jerk ‘opinion’ about it. He also talks briefly about the sudden presence of the bubonic plague (yes, really) in both China and the good ol’ US of A.
