*Michael is quarantined in a hotel this week, so please excuse the minor echo in his audio*


In this week's episode, we talk about about the definition of a "country", the purpose of monarchy and nobility, and whether or not nostalgia is a negative mental exercise. As usual we get off topic and begin discussing everything from fake car wrecks to the old computer game "Number Cruncher".


Please consider making a donation to the Frontline Responders Fund to help deliver lifesaving PPE to the doctors and nurses on the front line of the fight against the global COVID-19 pandemic.
