Summary

After two months recovering in Korea, Matt returns to ask what an honest, human show should look like in an internet dominated by sameness, AI-generated talking points, bots, and manufactured outrage. He also discusses COVID accountability, the FBI’s reported pre-crime ambitions, cultural cohesion in Korea and America, the state of major U.S. cities, and why the next version of the show has to feel different.
