Macklemore is out on Ed Sheeran’s tour — and Erin and Kurt dig into why. After a string of antisemitic remarks and stunts (including an exaggerated, stereotype-driven costume), Robert Kraft — the Patriots owner, a major Republican donor, and an outspoken anti-antisemitism advocate — reportedly got stadium owners across the country to draw a line: Macklemore doesn’t play if he’s on the bill. Ed Sheeran, famously apolitical, made the call to cut him. Erin and Kurt break down the real distinction here — solo headliner vs. co-headliner responsibility — and land somewhere unexpected: agreeing with Robert Kraft, with one big caveat about applying the standard equally to everyone, Kid Rock included. Then, a palate-cleanser: what’s your actual plane-seatmate etiquette when a stranger really wants to talk politics for three hours?
