Taylor Swift's new album dropped, and of course the Nuts have to discuss it. The conversation explores the concept of long albums and the role of editors and producers in the music industry, as well as other creative industries. Other topics include summer classes, Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, and other tragedies. The conversation then shifts to a discussion about a controversial documentary on Netflix called Ancient Apocalypse and recent comments made by Alex Jones. The Nuts express disinterest in internet debates as well as their frustration with being asked to provide immediate answers to complex questions, and they do so without being completely full of themselves.
