The show kicks off with Michael’s take on grifters in the influencer class, before diving into Trump’s push to militarize the police and Mark and Michael’s insights into the LA riots and whetherICE agents should wear masks. James Valliant was commenting in the chat, but didn’t join the call. Some interesting debate about rights.
Supernatural fans may be interested in the brief exchange about Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins’s political leanings! Mark also shared his disappointment that a horror movie he pre-ordered and looked forward to turned out to be the worst filmmaking he’s ever seen. Ouch. Don’t you just hate it when that sort of thing happens? You’ll also hear about the bizarre news that George Orwell’s 1984 now comes with a trigger warning. Seriously?
As usual, the episode wraps up with a powerful Capitalist Thought of the Day — and then Mark did a late extra segment talking about his approach to online interactions in response to comments in the chat. If you’ve ever wondered why Mark responds the way he does on X, give this a watch!
