In this spicy bonus episode, we discuss the government's national strategy for countering domestic terrorism. Have we reached a slippery slope through this strategy? Do the ends really justify the means? Can the government truly take on methods such as what they're planning on without upending the rights laid out in the Constitution or trampling on the people's freedoms? We discuss these things and more.

We discuss what we thought of the story and politics within the Disney+ Marvel series Falcon and the Winter Soldier.  What were the Flag Smashers all about?  What was up with John Walker, the newly appointed Captain America?  Was the Global Repatriation Council (GRC) right in their approach to take care of people who were never Snapped, or were they wrong?  We ponder this stuff and more in a new, nerdier episode.

Forrest reads Blade an article about Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signing a bill to make daylight savings time all year round in the state for reasons that are too stupid to put in this description, and because we want you to listen to the episode to find out.  This episode swings into other topics somehow too, like voting systems and Forrest admiring his Libertarian label.

In this episode, we get to talk nerdy stuff with Remso W. Martinez, from the Second Print Comics podcast and discuss what can be done to better separate pop culture and storytelling from the politics of today.

Forrest and Jek the Red discuss cancel culture, and today's tendency for politics to get mixed into pop culture like Star Wars.

Leading up to a 'two-part arc' about pop culture and how deeply modern politics has found its way into it, Forrest and Blade discuss some of the movies and TV shows that influenced them growing up and have had an impact on them.  Pop culture like movies, TV shows, video games, books, and music all play a part in influencing and building the society around us.  Some stick to our memory so hard it's impossible to get it off.  We discuss this kind of impact in this long bonus feature!

In today's episode, Forrest had on Craig Smoldt of the Break the Bell podcast to talk about the purpose behind his podcast and cover topics from current events.  They also discuss what people can do to navigate through these uncertain and unpredictable times.

Forrest and KG discuss the acquisition of Ithaca by HYBE in an unexpected and bold move that will bring about a new and promising future for the western music industry as the K-pop industry meets the Western industry.
