Darryl is nerding out this week with a reluctant, but necessary, defense of Big Government. We're tracing the tragic disasters that led to the creation of the FDA, the EPA, and landmark protections like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Bureaucracy may be annoying, but history shows why it exists… and why we’re gonna be cooked without it.

Setoiyo jumps in with hot takes on Ashli St. Claire’s redemption arc, and the proper handling of her public foolishness. Plus the entire podcast is officially done with being called “Unc.” It’s policy, culture, and petty grievances, the Knockout Nerds way.

They may have never cared about us, but the Knockout Nerds do.

Tap in, subscribe, and stay nerdy for the culture.
