Finally, Davin gets to tell a story! He fills the other co-hosts in on the 
story of the exploitation of NCAA athletes, prior to the push for 
some of them unionizing. He describes the conditions that led up to 
that movement, showing how the league continuously profited off 
of them, while denying them any chance at making money from 
their work.
 Also, two announcements:
 Tragically, Andrew has left the podcast, and so Davin and Sophia 
must search for a new third. In this episode, they try out a new co
host, V., in this episode.
 AND the Patreon now has new tiers, which feature some actual 
merch! Stickers and shirts! Please subscribe and rate the show if 
you like where it's going!

T he co-hosts have a chance to chat with the journalist Kim Kelly, author of the book Fight Like Hell and the upcoming book Fight To Win, about how labor movements provide a way to build a society based on trust, where disinformation doesn't have a chance to flourish. They also ask her what killer metal records have been coming out lately. 

The co-hosts are rounding out the journey through showing how 
climate change disinformation has led us to where we are now. They 
discuss the second Trump administration, and how it has, through 
DOGE and its own actions, buried information on climate change in 
order to benefit the American kleptocracy. They discuss the details of 
grants and other funding from the federal government that would aid 
research and infrastructure investments to help dull the effects of 
climate change on vulnerable people.

Sophia , Andrew & Devon are joined by comedian and science educator Annam Choudhry

. They all continue on the climate change journey, this time 
discussing the careers of two men who both worked for the Cato 
Institute (a right wing think tank co-founded by Murray Rothbard, one of 
the Koch brothers, and another person), and we're Fox News 
contributors. Those men have their work put into the context about 
faith in scientific institutions falling among Republicans.

The co-hosts continue their series on climate change, this time discussing both the mechanics of damaged caused by climate change and the escalation of disinformation in the 1970's and 1980's. Perry Como comes up, but nothing about climate change is a magic moment. Sophia loses her mind thinking about the reproductive habits of the eastern cottontail. The group has launched a site on beehiiv where you can check out all of our show notes, informational graphics, articles we'll be writing, and more. Click on our links for more! 

 The co-hosts talk about how the 1960's had such bad air quality that parts of 1965 were compared to the days after 9/11 in New York. They also learned that that year was just awful in general, and may rival 2020 and 2025 for sheer audacity in being a bad and uncertain time to live. The recurring villain makes a return trip because how could the American Petroleum Institute leave anything good and decent alone? The co-hosts learn what the PSAC is and that it sounds dirty. 

 The hosts open the discussion on climate change. They talk about how the potentials for climate change were discovered in the 1800's, and how it was identified to be happening in the early 1900's. They go on to discuss how disinformation started very quickly, funded by the petroleum industry. The AI co-host finally reveals his secret identity: Davin DuBois. That shouldn't mean anything to you, as he's just a guy, but he's a cool guy and a smart guy, and we love him, so we hope the audience appreciates the reveal, and getting to know him better. 

 The co-hosts chat with journalist Laura Jedeed about the story of Kash Patel, how he got where he is, and more importantly, what he intends to do with power if confirmed. They read one of his childrens' books, which is perhaps one of the worst things ever committed to paper. The glowing poo is revealed.
