Can you believe a Belgian tiktoker faked his own death and can you guess which host would use their own family member as a catfish? Join us this week as we unravel these bizarre stories, sip on some semi-dry red wine from the Costco advent calendar, and share our thoughts on the show Utopia. We also touch on the cancellation of Willow on Disney+ and the rumors of George Lucas reclaiming the Star Wars franchise.

Atlanta's proposed $90 million 'Cop City' has sparked heated controversy and protests. How dangerous is it that police officers are labeling protesters as "domestic terrorists"? We dive into the long-term consequences this label could have, the recent murder of a protester, and how the current situation aggravates the issues of police brutality.

Social welfare programs can be complex and often fail to reach those in need. We discuss the law of imperfect selection, the law of unintended rewards, and the Scandinavian countries' approach to social welfare. Lastly, we debate the bureaucratization of compassion and how our own country might learn from Norway's kinder practices. Don't miss this fascinating episode!
