About this episode

Dean expresses frustration over the increasing normalization of paying for various aspects of life.

I know, I know... I'm beating a dead horse at this point. But I've been extremely annoyed by this ongoing and still increasing method of domesticating the population. The normalization of paying for anything. Content, cars, services, music. If you want to enjoy your private life, you got to pay up! We need to break this insane cycle at some point, or we all go crazy. Cheers!
