I think they're revealing their own totalitarian tendencies since they ultimately do believe in stoning and shunning metaphorically instead of trying to actively deradicalize others because the problem is a deep distrust from systems and institutions they themselves have shown are awful and corrupt.

them using consumerism and capitalism interchangeably seems very intellectually dishonest.

seems like you didn't have enough here for an episode. the music breaks were really annoying. I started listening to you two to learn. I felt like I skipped half the episode. every 5 out of ten minutes were cuts to music.

I kinda believe it was George who was yelling for help in the phone call. not because I think he was right or was practicing self defense. I believe he was yelling for help so he could look like the hero. just in case anyone was looking out the window or just in case anyone else was around, he could look like he was protecting himself and the area. fuck him.

Fantasric show. For new listeners I recommend the Andrew WK episode as it helps with the other celebrity/artist based episodes. it's a sort of landmark episode with how often they refer to it in the other episodes
