In this recap episode, Josh Dubin and Joe Rogan explore the systemic failings of the legal and carceral systems, focusing on the wrongful conviction of innocent individuals. Dubin details his advocacy work, highlighting the Pearl Mutter Center and specific cases where police misconduct or forensic errors led to decades of unjust imprisonment. Their conversation expands into the psychology of accountability, questioning why institutional figures often refuse to admit fault even when presented with exonerating evidence. Beyond the law, they examine the history of prohibition, particularly the corporate interests that drove the criminalisation of hemp and cannabis in America. The dialogue concludes with a look at alternative therapies for trauma, such as ketamine and EMDR, alongside lighter reflections on the modern boxing scene. Through these diverse topics, the speakers champion the necessity of mercy, empathy, and truth within a flawed society.
