This week, we discuss restaurant grease traps, the joys of Valentine's Day, Elon Musk's juvenile human shield, and we also say 'obsequious' a lot. Like during editing I realized it's kind of egregious. If you guys correctly count how many times we say it Evan won't go into the light.

P.S. The music is bad on purpose in this one I swear.

We do have a Patreon, if you're interested in funding out extravagant lifestyle and intense travel schedule:

There are really only three great Slayer albums.

We talk about the AI arms race, the state of affairs with Elon, Vivek, and DOGE, and the pros and cons of benevolent rule by Shamans guided from beyond.

Cam continues his Barbarians series by examining the first of our tribal confederacies: The Goths. Picking up where episode 143 left off, we will discuss who these people were, what brought them into conflict with the Roman world, and where and how they appeared as a dominant cultural force in the rapidly changing cultural landscape of Europe in Late Antiquity.

The return of the Matt Gaetz saga. Pay for play, sex trafficking, cryptocurrency mines, intelligence, dead spooks, autoerotic asphyxiation, Trump’s return to power, the mysterious Nestor, and the chase for Attorney General.

This week, in the introductory episode of Cam's long promised series on the 'Fall' of the Western Roman Empire, and the rise of the 'Barbarians' we outline the mission statement for the series as a whole, and discuss the state of the Roman Empire from the late-2nd Century up through the mid-4th Century CE. This includes the Antonine Plague, the Crisis of the 3rd Century, the brief but glorious reign of Emperor Aurelian, the sundering of the Empire by the Emperor Diocletian, and the early introduction of the Goths and their friends.

We appreciate your patience in waiting for this series, and further appreciate those who subscribe to our Patreon. If you do not already subscribe, now would be a wonderful time to consider, as we're cranking out the good stuff. The link is below:

This week, we got together to briefly talk about the bizarre failed coup and failed impeachment in South Korea and the events in Syria before diving into whatever the Hell is going on with the assassination of the UHC CEO and the bizarre twists and turns the case has taken so far.
