Bill Burr hosts the post election episode on November 9, 2024, which feels disorganized and arbitrary at best. We talk about the complicated nature of satire and power in SNL for Trump Cold Open, and the complicated nature of meaning and commercial representation in Calling Dad, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Sex Rock CD. We also take time to appreciate Michael Che's frustration with the election on Weekend Update. Readings include articles on the philosophy and psychology of music, as well as the role of semiotics in conversation and advertising.
