2009 MTV Video Music Awards

You know, the one where Kanye took the microphone from Taylor Swift. We look back at this seemingly meaningless moment that now carries so much weight 10 years later due to the reaction to event and subsequent actions by both artists (but mostly Kanye) that have kept this controversy going. It's often a silly subject, but unfortunately has brought up a lot of dark and uncomfortable feelings over the years. We do our best to examine why that's the case. Shout out to Jay Leno. 

Also, we look at Todd Phillips' comments on comedy and how that relates to our earlier discussion this year on The Hangover.
