The "ah of course China Bad" stuff was tough last episode.

Then there's Liam repeating "I'm an anarchist" and when compared to everything else he says (which is getting quite authoritarian, tsk tsk!) it sounds like a mantra he's just repeating to convince himself. idk

Great episode otherwise imo. Enjoying Victoria's contributions. Devon remains GOATed. truly a land of contrasts.

Even disregarding the liberalism the pod is too often simply insufferable to listen to because 70% of the runtime is taken up by Liam and Nova's infinite tight fives. I feel so bad for the guests when they're trying to explain something and are just being talked over by those two making nearly identical variations of each others jokes. They're always joking about how long the episodes are, and there's nothing wrong with long form content, but it gets pretty tiring and unfunny when there are only 45 minutes that are actually on topic in an episode that's 3 hours long. Sucks because it's a great concept for a podcast, they just execute it so shamefully.
