Most challenging topic!
What on earth are they going on about?
ARE THESE PAIR OF CUNTS EVEN SERIOUS? I used to love this show. Now what has it become? The mouthpiece for a revolting, disingenuous, obsequious movement that deserves no place in adult conversation. None!
NO, YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT MOST MEAT EATERS BEING AWARE OF THE HORRORS OF THE INDUSTRY!!! PEOPLE GET MAD & DEFENSIVE WHEN THEY'RE SHOWN THE VILE & REPREHENSIBLE CONDITIONS! THEY CHOOSE TO STAY IGNORANT... & IGNORE THE TRUTH.
Excellent podcast
How does this relate to those who care? Nurses, doctors those who work in ages care who would be overwhelmed if we didn't flatten the curve to minimise those affected by the infection?
Another wasted opportunity to have a grown-up conversation. When are the grown-ups coming on?
the constant use of the term "IWD" sounds like a contraceptive device..... according to my female partner
Love the guest presenters, great discussion
Scott, have this dude on. "Contrary to conventional wisdom, Christianity has never really taken deep root in America or had any success in forming American consciousness; in its place, we have invented a kind of Orphic mystery religion of personal liberation, fecundated and sustained by a cult of Mammon." https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/three-cheers-socialism
Love the comment "regression to the mean".
Could you please tell me why people kill eagles?
Excellent episode. I think Waleed's "long bow" actually hit the target. Definitely watch to the end.
This podcast is fast becoming too much of a chore. Any recommendations for some more balanced Australian-based political and philosophical podcasts?
Impeachment discussion began with the Dems *before* Trump came into office. The Comey, later Muller, investigation produced no solid evidence upon which to impeach. This disappears almost immediately as soon as it becomes apparent that it could not be weaponised as hoped. Now, a whistleblower in the tradition of Assange, Snowden and Manning (all of whom contemporaneously condemned and exiled according to the trajectory of the Obama office) is to come forth, currently with no evidence whatsoever. To accuse Trump of misusing the term 'witch-hunt' is in extremely bad faith and reveals only the motivation of Scott amd Waleed. A frustrating listen indeed.
Waleed was particularly bull-headed on this topic. It's interesting to see how he can become when he feels that he isn't being heard.
This is my favorite episode!!! Love it! Slow journalism!
They weren't nations.
Would it be beneficial to define what hardship is and the thresholds? hardship for one may not be hardship for another. it is contextual.
Can you please include the name of your guest in the description of the podcast? thank you
