What is justice? What does a just society look like? Is it based completely around Dungeons & Dragons and beer? Probably not! This week, Connor and Dan are discussing Plato's Republic, AKA the philosopher's guide to fascism. There's guardians, there's working class stiffs, there's philosopher kings. This republic has it all, baby! Also, Connor has a disturbing breakthrough about his past experience with Porky's. And Dan has a refreshing afternoon cocktail. All that and maybe two more things on this week's ep!

Also, Dan drinks a homemade Manhattan, Connor screws up his diet on the first day, and they both debate the state of modern journalism to the enjoyment of no one! Don't forget to subscribe!

#124 - Objectivism

Featuring special guest Sean Fissel! As the election draws nearer, this podcast can't help but get political. So this week, Connor and Dan are discussing the darling of the fiscally conservative and champion of the free market, Ayn Rand. Specifically her philosophy Objectivism and why we hate it. Speaking of objective, this podcast isn't that, so if you really love Ayn Rand or libertarianism you may not enjoy it. Or you could love it! Maybe you're just a weirdo like that! Who are we to judge!
