December 17, 2025 The Gang Resolves the Contradictions (Unlocked)
This is a Patreon episode we liked so much that we unlocked it for everyone to hear. We hope you enjoy it.

This week, Jason and Ben sat down to acknowledge and resolve all the contradictions that have manifested in our discussions on this podcast. Actually, we don't resolve anything, but we do acknowledge some things. Our listeners will know that we often disagree with the broader left, each other, and our earlier selves. While we don't manage to piece together a solid line for the podcast, we do manage to talk a lot about those contradictions.
