Buck is back—and Matters Not picks up right where it left off.
Chris and Buck reunite after the holidays to catch up on life, fatherhood, unfinished house projects, and the chaos that comes with both. The conversation moves from deeply personal reflections on Christmas as a single dad to family memories, loss, and the strange feeling of watching eras close.
From there, the episode takes its usual unfiltered turns—breaking down pop culture fatigue, Stranger Things, nostalgia-driven reboots, gaming and streaming culture, and how the internet has turned everything into performance. The guys dig into DNA tests, Viking ancestry, generational myths, and the absurdity of identity in the modern world.
Things get heavier as they discuss healthcare failures, identity theft fears, policing, protest culture, and how political division thrives on outrage and consequence-free behavior. Rather than picking clean sides, Chris and Buck wrestle with nuance, personal responsibility, and the reality that most situations aren’t as simple as the internet makes them.
As always, the episode blends humor, cynicism, introspection, and blunt honesty—wrapping up with reflections on education, life paths, and why sometimes dropping out, figuring it out, and building crocodile-skin accent walls might just be the most honest way forward
