Looks like that is the whole segment: it certainly starts at the beginning of it, and the Blink 182 references etc were at the end.

Althought tbf, I did think the only shallow part of it was putting in pop culture references and using it to make fun of old dudes. I happened to know the artists referred to, but there’s a hell of a lot of chart artists I’ve never heard of, and I find it very easy to believe that someone with 30-40 years on me wouldn’t have the foggiest who these people were.

They were doing a good enough job of making themselves look like tits without this cheap ‘look they don’t know about Wiz Khalifa!’ aspect being thrown in, it wasn’t necessary, and arguably undermined the rest of the piece, as it showed that these people were prepared to read/endorse anything in front of them if they thought they would get some money for it (which I’m assuming that they were expecting from lobbyists)
