Liar, liar pants on fire! I explain the specifics of the gain of function research and declare a liar. I also discuss the dystopian present where women are forced to bear children for wealthy elites. Plus, cocaine hippos roam the earth and someone has to do something about it.

"Let's Go Brandon!" What's that supposed to mean? And when I find out what should I do if it hurts my feelings? All this and a discussion on the extinction of women.

Check out this bizarre image. I'll tell you exactly what it means and so much more. The thing about public symbols is that they are difficult to control.

Based on comments from a listener, I do a complete smack-down on the vaccine. Why isn't it as effective as promised? What about the risks? Who can say you should get it. I also offer a Christian defense of Atheist chaplains.

I take a whack at idolatry in American culture, but not at the usual culprit. Does a fish know he's wet and does an American know he lives in freedom. Also an important thing to do if you're ever scammed. And don't forget, everyone needs a hot take on Simone Biles and the Olympics.

What do Britney Spears and Jeff Bezos teach us about homelessness? Quite a bit if we think about them together. I dive into Britney's conservatorship battle and the ethics of space travel. Plus, a follow up on the election fraud episode, it turns out I was wrong.
