We set out to do a music and sports episode but the patchwork, saccharine Chris Martin produced World Cup halftime show was so terrible that we ended up spending half of this episode breaking it down. But it did get us thinking about the relationship of music and sports, how we got here and can it ever change? Along the way we consider the death of American culture, the growing irrelevance of time and how sports seems to be one of the few major components of global culture that maintains some continuity and consistency, resistent-ish our niche-laden algorithmic feeds. But can it last? We got thoughts.
