Episode 68 opens with a 1968 history lesson and runs through the fits-vs-kicks debate, whether MJ really got cut from varsity, the boldest take of the year — is it harder to become Jay-Z or Barack Obama? — plus the man who lost $950M of Bitcoin in a landfill and whether Meek should've ever touched Dreams & Nightmares. Two's out this week — shout out to Two. All things love.
