Part 4/14:
Country singer Zach Bryan becomes the focal point of cringeworthy behavior. After a drunken tweet comparing Taylor Swift and Kanye West—calling the Eagles better than the Chiefs—Bryan faces swift backlash from Swifty fans. The next morning, he posts a lengthy, contrite apology on Instagram, which, surprise, involves linking Taylor's songs as “reparations” and citing his “hard times.” The hosts criticize this performative groveling, arguing Bryan is merely caving to social pressure and that he’s not truly sorry but only managing his reputation.
