Mike Cernovich, a prominent figure in right-wing propaganda, and Gavin McGuinness, co-founder of a controversial media organization, join the discussion. They humorously grapple with absurd population statistics and the praiseworthy yet bizarre culture of the alt-right. The duo reflects on the complexities of masculinity, touching on the initiation rituals of the Proud Boys. They critique misleading narratives around immigration and tackle the intersectionality of women's rights, using satire to confront societal norms and the ridiculousness often found in political dialogue.
