I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no. Regardless, love remains the primary subject in pop music. Even unpop music, for that matter. This week, we explore that love connection, its lyrical and social convolutions, auto-tunage, and its ties to terrorism.

As podcast hosts, we take pride in accessibility, operating under the assumption that we cater primarily to a blind audience. This episode in particular is for you, so we hope your screen reader doesn’t garble this text dedication. Our contribution to the deaf community, however, is obvious in its silence. Nor do we wish to burden them with transcription or captioning of this punditry. This week we debate the best time for blindness. Answer: Miller time, which also happens to be the best time for ageusia, covered back in Episode 15.

Where did the vice association start? And why? On a long enough timeline, a seminal alcoholic in Ireland must have consciously decided to gift whisky to the bloodstream of his future bloodline. “Your descendants will thank ye, Ronan McShane O’Sullivan.”

And we have a great time with it this one holiday in March each year, but is it worth it. Today we ask, would you be okay with your heritage being defined by a vice?

Does anybody really care? Sure, it helps us catch that flight to North Korea (don’t forget to set your watch back 100 years), but it also costs you a fortune in daycare overtime and gave rise to Flava Flav fashions. We scienced the shit out of this episode to make it worth your 20 arbitrary minutes.

We’re talking blind faith. Binary belief. A true-false dichotomy that leads and bleeds to a true faith lobotomy. Is blind faith healthy? Is faith generally useful? In summary, can we get an amen?
