Before that, Ben and the crew watch a throwback clip of Ben, Ana Kasparian, and Michael Brooks reacting to the Zizek/Peterson debate and a recent clip of Ana's debate over Medicare for All with Adam Friended and PSA Sitch, and Matt and the crew watch Prager U's latest attempt to make sense of Marxism. At the end of the show, Ben makes the case against canceling Ana over recent micro-controversies and Ben and Graphic Designer Andy struggle-session a bit about some of the underlying issues. Mean Djene Bajalan and the one and only Jason Myles hang out in the postgame for GTAA patrons.
