We kick off this episode paying respect to the brave men who video people in public with the hope that they will get assaulted and have an excuse to use pepper spray on their assailants. We chat about the film Project Hail Mary, which leads to a broader discussion about the Oscars and why its audience has shrunk so significantly in recent years. We break down a post by one of our patrons about the consequences of our changing views and then discuss the popularity of online betting sites like Polymarket and Kalshi. We conclude by talking about GLP-1 drugs and a new segment of “Pastor Jack’s Off.”
