Scott and Ted dedicate the first segment of this episode to delve into the taboo subject of adult males who become victims of domestic abuse at the hands of their female partners, the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard defamation trial being a case in point. In the second segment, we delve into Ukraine, DisneyWorld having its own government taken away in Florida by Governor Ron DeSantis, the floundering Biden economy and driverless cars.

There was sort of a throwaway mini-discussion about Hiroshima here, but that would be an amazing subject to dig into on its own podcast between Ted and Scott.
I would LOVE to be convinced that dropping a-bombs in Japan was necessary, but the more the hindsight of history lays out for us, the worse it reflects upon us (the U.S.). Paraphrasing Truman, “you don’t go through all the trouble to make this this and NOT use it,” says it all. It was much less about ending the war in the Pacific than it was about demonstrating our might to then-frenemy Stalin, as well as just seeing what would happen–to the bodies of innocent civilians who happened to be half a world away, and not white.
