The episode begins with host Jack Tame introducing music reviewer Chris Schulz to talk about the Coachella festival. Schulz immediately positions Coachella as the TV event of the year, surpassing shows like Game of Thrones. Tame reveals he has never watched the Coachella live stream, prompting Schulz to sell him on the experience. Schulz explains that the festival is freely accessible via YouTube with seven simultaneous streams. He emphasizes how Coachella can make or break artists' careers, citing examples like Sublime's new singer debuting there and historic reunions including Outkast and Rage Against the Machine. The conversation shifts to Justin Bieber, who is headlining after a long hiatus. Schulz describes Bieber's recent Grammys performance as raw and shirtless, suggesting he might perform similarly at Coachella. They discuss the practical benefits of watching from home, such as avoiding crowds and having better snacks. Schulz lists notable acts playing, including The XX, The Strokes, and Turnstile. He notes Coachella's unique two-weekend structure and its global influence compared to other festivals. When asked for recommendations, Schulz highlights The XX's return after eight years, Nine Inch Nails' dance mashup, and Iggy Pop's enduring performance style. He mentions his daughter will watch Sabrina Carpenter. The episode ends with Schulz planning to watch the streams right away, and Tame playfully admitting he likes some of Bieber's music.
