Andrew and Wen sit down with Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero, Last Week Tonight, Make My Day podcast) to talk about the entire history of shoes! From horrifying hay sacks that look like something from Scarecrow’s fear toxin, to when fashion made them too pointy to walk, to the development of sneakers and sneaker culture!

Josh tells us about his collection, the greatest sneakers, and where it went wrong in resales!
