January 09, 2024 06:32 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBPart 1 of 3 John and Mike join Teen for a marathon weekend shitshoot about the likely trajectory of life in America in 2024.

Ep. 489: SaveMoar (ft. Shan)
November 13, 2023 05:48 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBShan and Teen talk about one of their favorite topics as a couple: money and finances. The American financial environment is shifting into asset deflation mode, so a lot of 'common sense' about household finances -- buying a house is always good, renting is throwing away money, and 'cash is trash' -- need to be re-examined. And what cultural prohibitions need to be overcome in order to reform our thinking about money. Get access to bonus pods and Discord chat by joining our patreon: patreon....

And the joys of recording while in bed. Get access to bonus pods and Discord chat by joining our patreon: patreon.com/planamag THEME MUSIC: EFPA Theme: "Escape From Plan A" by Ciel (@aerialist)

August 21, 2023 02:33 - 1 hour - 58 MBChong and Teen spend a Thursday evening discussing a disturbing phenomenon both have run into online: self-described leftists who gleefully advocate for violence against Asian small business owners, on account of them being "petit bourgeois" and thus deserving to be wiped out in the fantasy revolution of these Basement Lenins. What a fucking joke, but the more they talk about it, the more they uncover disturbing patterns that parallel the worst sorts of racism we've seen in history. THEME M...

July 11, 2023 05:44 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBJess and Teen talk with guest John Pang about the Western tendency to devalue Asian labor -- not just the laborer, but also Asian labor itself and its presumed lack of human qualities -- through the lens of Shein.
