Mike Drucker, head writer for Full Frontal W/ Samantha Bee, joins Rebecca to discuss the first pop culture phenomenon, Young Werther, a romantic tragedy written in 18th century Europe. Killing yourself because of romance being seen as very romantic, being a huge try hard, trying to "act deep" your way into a relationship, and when an entire culture forms around a book. Preachers gave sermons against this book! Also, idiot confidence, and Mike is doing fine in quarantine.
