James and Saby start 2017 with a meltdown -- Kanye's meltdown, of course, as well as his meeting with his BFF Trump. They engage in a heated Double Booked debate over Kanye's importance, and James asks the question "why does a pop star need to have substance?" They also discuss the Run The Jewels album drop, New Year's Rockin' Eve, and reflect on the passage of time.
