We're not totally sure how we went this long without doing an episode about psychedelics, but here it is!! This week we're sharing trip stories, insights into the benefits of psychedelics on a personal and societal level, and how our relationship with psychedelics may change once they legally enter the market. Will high-capitalism corrupt the psychedelic experience, or will such medicines entering the public consciousness lead to the downfall of consumer culture as we know it?

This week the lads walk around the ever hotter topic of unconditional basic income. How do we fund it? What societal shifts could arise as a result? Who would this benefit, and would it be enough to make a significant impact on the rampant poverty and inequality that has plagued the United States since time immemorial?

PLUS, Uncle Jimmy goes deep on his 2021 Super Bowl picks for all you sports gambling fanatics!!

Everybody's tonkin' stonks right now, and we are too! Our resident financial wizard Jimmy takes us through what happened this week between Wall Street and r/wallstreetbets. What could this mean for the American working class going forward, and how does it relate to greater cultural trends involving the deconstruction of defunct institutions and explosions of the irrational into our previously hyper-rational reality?

This week the lads discuss the causes and symbolism of conspiracy theory movements like QAnon, the hazards of social media and  how it converges with identitarian politics, and the current impulse of the democratic electorate to return to the political apathy of the Obama years.
