Your hosts discuss the controversy surrounding Holyhoke mayor Alex Morse, the sex scandal that... wasn't. What does the attempt to gin up outrage about Morse's Tinder matching (sometimes with students as young as Legally Adult!) tell us about the current state of #MeToo? What's the difference between unwanted overtures and a bad chicken sandwich? Do Zoomers even know what love is?! Then, a viral tweetstorm ignites a debate on the merits of dissing other people's relationships (and butts), and Kat recaps the complicated history of Ren & Stimpy in light of its upcoming reboot.
