Episode notes

It's seedy and kind of pathetic it brings back the sort of Going into a video store and buying porn or going into one of those movie theaters in the 70s in New York and jerking off in the theater It's like that's the thing I think that they don't want They're they don't mind like high-class call girls in the city or high-class like strip clubs Yeah, actually what is the legal status of those like if you you know some adult video stores.

What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than to bring back our favorite guest – Paul Bloom! We riff on a series of topics: the new “grievance studies” hoax, sex robot brothels, perverse desires, and perverse beliefs. Then we get a little navel gazey (OK maybe more than a little) and talk about podcasting as a form of media and discussion, good teaching, and what we’ve learned about our listeners and ourselves. (Note: the audio may sound a little echoey towards the end because of how far we’ve crawled up our own asses.) This was a fun one, enjoy!

Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
