    POLITICAL CORRECTNESS | Saying the N Word
    Jan 29 2021
    Today we are joined in The Safe Space by Rucka Rucka Ali, a top charting comedy rapper.

    Being Really Loaft
    Dec 25 2020
    Today I am joined by Brian Anderson, who I met while traveling in Panama. He and I discuss whether or not he is lazy, and what his values are. Is a common association of laziness with stupidity valid, and would people like me benefit from being a bit "more lazy"? We also discuss how he feels about having his intelligence and drive questioned.

It is a really interesting and honest conversation about race.
