For their 100th episode spectacular the Shuffle Bois turn to what might be the most influential piece of media from the 2000s, The Apprentice. Since 2015 we have lived in a world dominated by the toxic runoff of a 2004 game show. The Shuffle Bois continue their discussion of reality TV they began with Survivor to talk about the many noxious societal effects of this dumb, exploitative genre. After tracing the history and explaining the format of the show, they do a recap of the show's first season as well as its first "celebrity" iteration. They then discuss themes and big ideas behind the show, including branding, middle management training, the mechanics of reality TV, racism, and sexism.
