This chapter delves into the origin and usage of the word 'Stan,' exploring whether it was created by Eminem or existed prior. The hosts discuss the term's evolution from meaning 'stalker' to representing obsessive superfan culture, and touch on the concept of words changing their meanings over time.
It’s the first annual “Concept-Con” – a not at all cringe episode where David and Tamler apply the methods and rigor of analytic philosophy to dissect not one, not two, but four new concepts. We start out with a Gen-Z special “mid” and then after a break we analyze the concept “cool.” After that we have two mystery concepts that we sprung on each other. Spoiler alert – David had never heard of Tamler’s. It’s an episode (we can’t emphasize this enough) that is in no way cringe or corny. Plus some brief thoughts on Israel and Gaza.
