Episode 22: The First Presidential Debate
After a brief hiatus, Morgan and Gavia return to discuss the first presidential debate. Through a haze of existential despair, they discuss topics including, but not limited to, debate strategy or lack thereof, Hillary Clinton's extraordinary self-control, Donald Trump's sexist buffoonery, the futility of fact-checking, when ISIS was founded anyway, and whether anything matters.
