In this minisode it's time for Justin to deconstruct another song explaining the true meaning behind those catchy lyrical and musical hooks...effectively ruining it forever. This week it's the song that unseated Biggie's Hypnotize from the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 MMMBop!

In this week's very special minisode of "Mark Explains Things" Mark tells and endearing story of woe, friendship, and triumph; Justin laughs, and we all hear the story of how we met. That's right American, this is us...hang on! 

Notes from this episode: 
At the top of the show before we started recording Mark asked me for two random women's names. They appear towards the end, and I completely break down into a pool of tears and laughter.

Episode 7 closes the garage door on the grunge phase of the show. We're growing up and taking a look at growing unrest in America's Cities. As the President and Mayor take each other to task on Twitter we shine a light on Chicago's urban violence and try to gain greater understanding as to what is happening, and why the the numbers continue to soar in the urban jungle the FBI dubbed "America's Murder Capital" in 2016. All that plus the this weeks addition to the growing Basket of Deplorables, and  a super-sized Star Spangled Awesome Award!
