Episode 7, "I used to have a horse..."

Chase and Matt wade into the racist waters of the so-called "great replacement theory", starting around minute 15, while also delving into anti-intellectualism, rewriting history, tucker/fuentes, and the all-too-familiar authoritarian promise of having a simple solution for a complex issue.
 
Also....God, psychedelics, connecting with nature, moral compasses, AI, SNAP, and Great Gatsby parties.

Episode 4, "Ya Gotta Have Villains"

The only way for authoritarianism to succeed is to have boogeymen. Having an enemy keeps the base glued together so they don't get curious about 5 billion in profit since elected, 24 million people losing healthcare, or of course..., the files...
Chase and Matt wade their way through some of the troubling and tragic events of the last few days and weeks, touching on free speech, manipulation, indoctrination, and the power and misguided uncritical comfort that can come from turning good people into villains. And Matt sometimes talks on 1.5 speed so you don't have to!
