Mike, Max and Shane discuss the JUNO Award nominations for Arkells’ “Knocking at the Door,” the Red Bull Thre3Style World Finals, a chance encounter with a fan of the show and how to recover from embarrassing slip-ups. Lena Waithe (“The Chi,” “Master of None”) tells Mike about dissecting TV as an art form, running a writers’ room, empowering other voices, ambition, doubt, influences and winning an Emmy Award for “Thanksgiving.” For dessert, Shane describes his upbringing, and his upcoming single “The Nutcracker” (featuring Dru Grange) and his award nomination in a bonus interview segment.
