In this episode, we also dive into other hot topics: the Packers’ heartbreaking loss and their struggles this season.

Also the controversial debate around food stamps and societal misconceptions. Some of this anger about government benefits seems to be misdirected.

Later hear the jaw-dropping news of hip-hop being absent from the Billboard Top 40 for the first time in 35 years. Is this the end of rap’s dominance? Or are we witnessing a cultural reset?
