The hosts, Trevor and Joe, discuss the challenges of having meaningful conversations about sensitive topics that have become heavily propagandized, emphasizing the difficulty of addressing issues like the genocide in Gaza.

  • Episode 454 - Banned from Mailchimp
    2024/12/02

    In this episode, the hosts dive into a variety of thought-provoking topics. Trevor kicks off with a story about Mailchimp banning his email service due to an article critical of Israel, sparking a discussion on the challenges of sharing controversial content. Scott then discusses President Biden's controversial decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for tax and firearms felonies, comparing it to previous political scandals. Trevor shares an amusing anecdote about visiting an old-school barbershop. The conversation takes a serious turn as they discuss proposed legislation in Queensland to impose mandatory life sentences for children as young as ten, raising concerns about the impact on youth offenders and the justice system. They also satirically critique the Courier Mail's portrayal of youth crime and the LNP's economic recovery efforts. The episode wraps up with a discussion on France's decision not to arrest Netanyahu despite previous statements and a debate on the effectiveness of democracy versus dictatorship, reflecting on historical and current examples of political systems and their impact on society.
