It's a hot one in New York, but Matt explains why. Frank and Matt both take some time to talk summer weather, working outdoors, proper hydration, and Matt being cleared as a suspect in a robbery. Then JonnyVroom calls in and we start going in on surveillance.
We take the idea of home surveillance, home defense, and all of the other measures we take to 'gather intelligence' and secure our property...but then we start playing around with how this behavior is really just a microcosm of how the world works. You run your home like a country; you are friendly/unfriendly/suspicious of your neighbors just like nation states act with other national states. It was fun drawing comparisons.
Conversation flows into another talk about Europe, with censorship and draconian hate speech laws evolving every day. We try to take the perspective of both the European male and the Refugee in order to land on some unemotional truth; I think we did a decent job.
A little talk about the Star Wars: Rogue One trailer and a discussion about communicating with Wookies. This jumps right into a New York Post article, describing how 21st Century males are turning to working out and instagram to get through the current economic crisis.
Frank ran into a kid wearing a Harambe shirt at Elevation Burger. Big Question is then asked: What would have to happen to society for there to be nothing to "meme" about?
We then take a short break so that the audience can be introduced to the beautiful must of the late artist, Lamya. When we come back from break, the final leg of the show is one where we tie in the surveillance behavior conversations we had earlier in the hour with some of the philosophy on which the Constitution of the United States was drafted.
