We’re back from summer break! This week, we’re talking Taylor Swift’s downfall, Britney’s comeback, why certain white men are like Teflon, and the history behind the no-white-after-Labor-Day rule.

We start things off by breezing through all the pop culture goings-on we missed this summer, like how the whole world has turned on Taylor Swift:
