Episode 299: Episode 299: Tales from the Brightside

About this episode

The hosts discuss current societal trends and behaviors in America while preparing for an upcoming milestone episode.

As ModState preps to meet and surpass a milestone it wasn't sure would come (the 300 mark) in the first place, Crazy Eddie and his counterpart (Sailor Jack) reconvene for a less structured, more relaxed look at some of the things that define America in this day and age. While both men love America, Her Republic and Her People very much, there nonetheless remain some things that could be better. There are some trends in our society (with regard, specifically, to our treatment of one another as People, as human beings) that need to go away and/or shift significantly. Following someone in traffic to bust their window or verbally accost them is not OK, for example. Nor is busting an old lady's window in traffic a normal brag. What's even more concerning, however, is this needing to be said in the first place. Take a listen as the two take a more light-hearted stroll and preview some future discussions and America, holistically, at a glance.
