Summary

Each week, Sam and Alex will hop in their time machine and spend time in the past in hopes of understanding the chaos that is sure to be our future. From pop culture to political news to scientific markers and medical breakthroughs, they and a guest will hold up a mirror to society and ask ourselves, “Did we really learn anything, or did we just become dumber?”

    In this intro episode, Sam and Alex Look Back At 2015. The year they met. They talk everything from Sam's career tracking nut to Alex’s days as a subpar GoGo dancer. We remember the good ol' days when we didn’t know Nicki Minaj's political affiliations, the golden era of Lee Daniels and the need for black men to get therapy. Plus, whether you should walk or drive to a protest and who should go to a Black Lives Matter rally, all and all 2015 was a wild ride. Tap in.
