Dudley is on fire right now, first as my guest on Digital Identity and now with his new article on millennial speak, which he has dubbed “Millennial Snot.” You’ve all seen it online, heard it on the news, and perhaps even been subjected to it when Trump, "science," men being women, or any other hot issue comes up at dinner parties, church, little kids birthday parties, or anywhere else these people congregate. But what are its implications, what are they trying to communicate through their to...
For Halloween, my guest and I discuss one of the most iconic Gen X movies ever, The Crow. We both love the movie, but we wonder if it holds up for later generations because it was so "of the time." Despite its weaknesses, we feel the strength of the source material, the character, and the aesthetic is enough to earn it a place in film history and deserves a resurgence in the current wave of 90's nostalgia. We are of course, extremely biased. We expected to talk music a lot more, and Nine Inch...

What changed, how, and was the change for the better or worse?Follow me on Substack
How deep does Biden corruption go? Well, too deep to discuss in one episode, so we stick to the Ukraine only. Originally this was intended to smear the presidential incumbent Joe Biden, whose corruption is vast and global, but he's been removed by the Deep State and is no longer the candidate. Still, the corruption he got up to in Ukraine involved the State Department and players who are still active in the DNC. Find out exactly WHO the Democrats backed in Ukraine and what schemes the Bidens ...

I discuss Freud with Garfieldbot, writer at "The Egg Report" on substack. He's writing a long series of articles reconsidering many of Freuds ideas, which he thinks are embedded in the framework of the modern individuals understanding of themselves, their relation to the world, and the primary mode of describing human interactions for all of the 20th century.Perhaps now its time for people like us to dispel these ideas, and you can do so without reading a now out of print book, The Ordeal of ...
