This week, in our first-ever transnational episode of Mean and Sober, Ethan is reporting from a highly-efficient, hyper-capitalist superpower (China), while while John calls in from a third-world shithole (Miami)! As we start the show, Ethan schools John on how capitalism works without the need for money in China; why Walmarts just aren’t as fun there, and why the Chinese have no sympathy for the poeple of Flint, Michigan. Then: It turns out, John actually agrees with the Chinese- on racism! Then we’re on to a special Trump-themed edition of UK? U Cucked!, and John just can’t resist saying mean things about London’s liberal, God-fearing mayor. And, what’s this? Trump’s in Europe, and so is Sloppy Steve Bannon? Find out why Bannon’s a late-to-the-party tryhard, and why John would kick him out of Nazi-school for ruining fascism. Oh, and a shout out to our erstwhile Tea-Cuck, Matt, who’s in Merry Old England dribbling gobbets of soy milk all over the beautiful Mean and Sober T-Shirt we sent him! Then, Ethan’s excited about a journalism blockchain product that could end censorship, but John won’t stop suggesting how it should be used for child porn. Really, John! And then it’s on to #CuckOfTheWeek, and John has a special surprise revelation for Ethan, who’s been out of town for two weeks and left his wife (and girlfriend) all alone in America! (Oh no!) And finally, in a gender-war-themed edition of #ConspiracyFriday, we give a special shout-out to two brave ladies who are doing all they can to bring down the military-industrial complex, one catfight at a time! It’s late, but it’s here, folks- it’s #MeanAndSober!
