Our pal Steve joins us again as we talk about vaping versus cigarettes. Do you have a preference? Jewel is from Alaska which reminded us of our show pal Danny! Could any of you decide between Sarah Palin or Kamala Harris if there was a run-off vice presidential election? We read out lone email for the week from Mr. Pink. The mystery surrounding Mr. Pink only gets more curious after this email. Mr. Pink also wants to know what we think of self-help books. Mike learned a valuable lesson about reading books blindly without investigating the author first. 12 step recovery programs like AA have a 95% relapse rate which leaves Steve wide open to make a first-class crack about capitalism. Mike loves the song Arthur's Theme, but isn't much of a fan of the movie. Bill Maher had Russell Brand on his podcast recently. We go over a clip from the show that was curious which means Luke definitely goes off on Bill Maher at some point in this episode. Steve has a new plan for preventing doom scrolling. We also talk about the existence of investigative journalism and how important it is to prevent mainstream news from distracting us 24/7. Luke complains about Detroit local journalist Charlie LeDuff and why his podcast No BS News sucks. Mike disagrees. Steve drops some knowledge related to how bad things have gotten economically in the USA over the last 40 years. We love you all! We close this session with a selection from Steve called Urgent, Important, Please Read by DJ Shadow. If any of this nonsense strikes you, please email the show [email protected] to explain why.
