Episode 3 gets into the origins of QAnon, debunks myths about the autobahn, and solves the casting problem on reality tv dating shows as it pertains to the myriad of problematic men that continue to grace our screens (by making it gayer). We also, of course, discuss The Traitors. Later we talk about living with severe depression, 'The Fig Tree' by Sylvia Plath, and facing our fears. Honourable mentions are given to the queer animal kingdom, the romance stories that shaped us, and how heteronormativity makes us dumber. Join us for another rampage through the peaks and valleys of late stage capitalism.

Buckle up honey, this episode is a chaotic ride through the American government's speedrun into fascism, DOGE, the unelected Elon Musk and how ICE raids are a reboot of nazi Germany.

But it’s not all doom and gloom! We also dive into The Traitors, where Braden experiences the queer revelation of a lifetime, and we analyze Tom Sandoval’s baffling redemption arc (??). Then, in true educational spirit, Braden walks Ari through the fine art of tucking, Ari introduces Braden to Vagisil, and we both agree that men are just… chronically unwell.
