Hello, Good People. Have you seen the Obamas new movie on Netflix, Leave the World Behind? I thought it was a great movie. My co-host thinks it's part of an elaborate conspiracy. Go watch it on Netflix and let us know who you think is right.
Hello YouTube! Tomorrow is election day, and it could go either way. Here are my thoughts on Biden vs. Trump. Neither one is my first, second, third etc. choice, but here we are. Ran into a couple of Trump caravans being a nuisance yesterday, so that was nice.
If you'd like to check out some of the people and videos I mention, you can find them here.

Let me know what your thoughts and worries about tomorrow are. Are we really headed to disaster, or is the media overreacting? Please, be respectful and honest.

Hello, Good People. We're big fans of personal responsibility on this channel, but the world throws you curve balls and we can't control everything. So, who is ultimately responsible for someone joining a cult - the person that got sucked in or the leader who sucks them in?
My podcast producer read me this comment against my will on my latest Patreon podcast. To listen to the whole episode, sign up at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=60002924

Hello, Good People! Lot of the modern Western world has moved away from religion, but have they really? Or have the roles of religious leaders been replaced by celebrities? Has the Bible been replaced by Marvel Lore? Have the temples been replaced by the Magic Kingdom?
Monia Ali, our resident fandom expert, is back by popular request. We were supposed to discuss fan astroturfing, and we got to it eventually, but I was more fascinated with her article on the religion of fandom.
What do you think? Are Disney adults perfectly normal? Have you ever fallen into a fandom trap? Could it happen to anyone??
These ideas are fun when we talk about fandom, but the same ideas are dangerous when we talk about cults and political propaganda. Gotta keep an eye out.
Read along with Monia's Substack here

Hello, Good People. The biggest health crisis America faces right now is obesity. The rates have increased dramatically over the past 40 years, and the solution for pop culture media seems to be to gawk at it.
In this video, we go into the backstory of American obesity through three examples of obesity in media - Niko Avocado, The Whale and Fatso. Don't tell anyone, but Fatso's free on YouTube. Check it out. American classic.

Hello, Good People. Lots of important moves going down this week. It's all in the public domain, and nobody cares! Too busy worrying about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Well, what can we do?
This week, we talk about the ministry of truth, sorry, the disinformation governance board; we talk Congress being openly bought and sold; we talk student loan forgiveness and other loans too.
Overall, I'm somewhat optimistic. What do you think?
Is this deception & sneakiness unique, or have you seen it before?
Isn't it funny that our ancestors have written down numerous warnings for us, but we don't heed them because reading is for nerds?
Here's that USA Today article that Congressman Brooks references https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/05/25/lobbyist-offered-help-key-committee-seat-thomas-massie/84852902/
Hope you saw the CP podcast this week. We talked about the Pentagon UFO dump. We get into the most random stuff over there. Here's the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hWYS26q6-c

Hello, YouTube!!! Trigger warning for people who don't know about mortality. We like to think/hope that history will end with us. It's why all these apocalypse cults pop off, but we know that's not true. The mortal coil is fleeting, and our bodies are made of organic matter and jelly beans, and the annoying AF youth will outlive us. Well, not all of them. How will people remember us? How will our children see us? What will people in a thousand years think?
Why so morbid? Well, it's me. Also, I just finished a painting.
What do you think of our place in history? There's a lot to unravel, I know, but any thoughts you have, let me know.
Here's the Joe Bob Briggs monologue I mentioned:

Hello, YouTube. Dr. Donald Brown is a psychiatrist working in the trenches of Los Angeles. We had a long talk about morality and "abnormal" behavior. I asked him about demon possession, and he's got first hand experience.
What do you think? Do you know anyone who ever claimed to be possessed? Was it real or not?

Hello, Good People! Here is the weekly Ukraine report. Hopefully, this situation is coming to an end, and it didn't bring on the apocalypse. Fingers crossed!
What do you think? Should we be concerned about the dollar? Why is Putin in a bunker, or was that whole story bunk?
