We kick things off by wondering aloud if a new approach to stand-up comedy is needed, and then discuss FX’s hit show, The Bear (which we both just finished). We talk about Biden’s recent withdrawal from the presidential race, and then turn our attention to Trump’s remarks about how much he loves Christians (despite claiming not to be one). We tease a future topic, Modern Monetary Theory, and then talk about evangelicalism’s martyr complex. Biebers involve fruit and IT nerds.
