WikiLeaks on Weed

Politically Intoxicated is a show you should definitely check out. If we smoke weed and live in Massachusetts (we do) then they drink beers and live in Texas. Infer from that what you will. We cover all sorts of topics loosely focused around Free Speech, the consequences of, the need for it, and the responsibilities one has while practicing your right to speech.

Nothing says "life under capitalism" more than paying for your college education by playing online poker. This is Corey's story. He pinch hits on this episode, providing insight into poker, fantasy football, the politicization of gambling, as well as a larger conversation about technology and Neoliberalism itself.

Professor Gleb Tsipursky joins us on this episode to walk us through an endeavor that he and his wife started called the ProTruthPledge.org. It's a system of 12 behaviors that, when followed, promote truthfulness and rational thinking. We also read a letter in response to the Jon Sarkin episode from an audience member who is, technically, in a coma.

28 years ago, a "normal, everyday" chiropractor named Jon Sarkin suffered a massive stroke. After spending weeks in a coma, he awoke a changed man, with a compulsion to simply create art. Art very much unlike anything else out there. Even though language is often inadequate in describing such things, Crunch Dog and Larry invited Jon on the porch anyway. He walks us through his philosophy, his Hollywood life-story option purchase from Tom Cruise's production company, and we even get to play a game or two. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Part 2 coming Friday on Patreon.

In an effort to ramp up audience participation, we introduce a new segment into our show: Free Speech. It's become such a complex and hot button issue in our society. It needs to be examined, and examined well, so we're gonna try.

Also, we're working on ANOTHER segment called "Catching Up," where we circle back to stories that have fallen out of the public eye. We would love your ideas. Fill in the blank: Whatever happened to _______? For example, next week we have Brock Turner.

The conversation with Felonius Continues. Please go to http://patreon.com/wikileaksonweed for the full conversation

The Marvel / Northrop Grumman crossover came and went in the blink of an eye, but it left a bit of a foul taste in all of our mouths. Crunch Dog, Larry, and returning guest Felonius Thunk dive into the topic of military recruitment, and others, in episode 16, part 1. Part 2 can be found on Patreon.

If you paid attention during Occupy, and if you were even remotely conscious during the 2016 elections, you probably know that there's been an explosion of popularity of socialism in America. No, not communism. No, not anarchism. Socialism. Particularly something known as Democratic Socialism. Crunch Dog and Larry discovered that a group known as the Democratic Socialists of America had a chapter two towns over from them, so they had to check it out. Stephen and Joe graciously came to the porch to talk to use about it. Careful, there may be a ghost in here.

In this week's premium episode Crunch Dog and Larry take a second to explore the new "free speech" platform, Gab.ai

We call in our sports correspondent Michael Hunt to discuss the recent explosion in #TakeAKnee activity in the NFL, CTE, the history of politics in sport, and the connections between the NFL and the military-industrial complex. Also, what conversation about sports would be complete without a foray into flat earth theory. Enjoy!
