This week, Brian  is joined by regulars Tom Sawyer, Yayne Abeba, and Brent Weinbach for a candid, wide-ranging discussion.

They debate whether Trump’s base will stick with him, the cult of personality in politics, and the shifting tides within the Republican party.

The conversation expands to personal stories about encountering shady situations, the psychology of denial and complicity, and the broader issue of accountability for those in power. The group also touches on vaccine mandates in Florida, the anti-vax movement, and the impact of political decisions on public health and tourism.

Other topics include the legacy of public figures embroiled in scandal, the nature of evil, and the importance of recognizing and confronting wrongdoing.

This week Brian Copeland welcomes comedians Brian Malow and Monique Marvez for a wide-ranging discussion on politics, culture, and society. The episode opens with light banter about yoga and aging, then quickly shifts to deeper topics, including:

Political Discourse & Divisions: The gang discusses the polarization in American politics, referencing Michelle Obama’s “When they go low, we go high” philosophy. They debate whether it’s effective to take the high road or if it’s time for Democrats to “fight in the gutter” as Republicans do. Both guests express frustration with the current state of political discourse and the erosion of norms.

Generational & Cultural Shifts: Monique Marvez shares her perspective on generational change, noting that younger people are tired of the ongoing political battles and have a broader, less divisive worldview. She argues that the internet has leveled the playing field for women and minorities, but also acknowledges its role in amplifying negative voices.

Women, Power, and Social Change: The conversation delves into the challenges women face in achieving equality, both from societal structures and internalized biases among women themselves. The panel discusses the “queen bee” syndrome and the need for women to support each other to effect real change.

Denial, Blame, and Enabling: The group explores how denial and scapegoating play out in politics and personal life, from vaccine hesitancy to excusing the behavior of powerful men. They discuss high-profile cases involving Trump, Epstein, and Cosby, and the tendency for people to double down on denial rather than confront uncomfortable truths.

Science, Vaccines, and Misinformation: Brian Malow, as a science communicator, explains the significance of vaccine technology and the dangers of anti-vaccine rhetoric. The panel laments the spread of misinformation and the consequences for public health, referencing outbreaks of preventable diseases.

Personal Stories & Humor: Throughout, the guests share personal anecdotes from their careers in comedy and media, reflecting on the challenges and absurdities they’ve encountered. The episode ends with plugs for upcoming shows and a reminder to be kind to one another.
