Guys We Know

Corey's making me write the descriptions now I guess. I use the fact that Corey is sort of not-totally-white as a shield to defend myself from charges of "class reductionism" as I half-assedly summarize my cool vicarious grandpa Adolph Reed and some other people in a probably futile effort to take the lens off race and refocus it on class in the context of ongoing protests against police brutality

Is BIll Gates a eugenicist? Are you? How does climate change make you feel in your bones? WIll Matt agree with anything said by our guest this week? This and more with special guest Ben.

Populism remains untapped. Matt and I leave things left unsaid. Adam comes forth with equal parts anger and humility about the national situation. I refrain from saying anything interesting. Will our heroes survive this omnipresent turbulence? Stay tuned to our various channels for various amounts of time to find out!!!!!

Join us as we talk remotely about the bailout and the tricky world of QE and cheap cash. Stay inside. Stay drunk.

In which we discuss a section from the book "Alienation" by Rahel Jaeggi about the in's-out's of self-alienation and get into it with dinosaurs, quantum physics and washing holes.

Matt talks at me about Iraq for long enough to convince anyone who listens long enough that Bush was indeed right in every decision he made.

Our guest Adam has been charged with the task of objectively describing the music of Primus. Inevitably this feat proves itself to be too difficult, and we take a moment to reflect on some of the more sophomoric choices of words we've used on the show.

Join us in another mega-sized episode where we talk about the family as an idea and the political and economic forces that move, shape and respond to it.

Matt tricked me into talking about TOOL songs for 2 hours and I kept trying to bring up Epstein.
