Ep. 182: "Empathalogical Fallacies" (LD S4E5)

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the events of January 2025 and critiques of public figures.

Quick production note: We try to keep most Out of Contreks episodes reasonably family-friendly, but this episode does have a lot of swearing in it, primarily inspired by the horrible events of Jan. 2025 that were carried out by government thugs in the Twin Cities, where one of the hosts lives. If you don't mind that, give it a listen, because it's a pretty fun and wide-ranging discussion after the opening 10 minutes, and even in the opening 10 minutes we come up with a variety of colorful terms to impugn Elon Musk and Stephen Miller, who are two of the dumbest and most evil people on the planet Earth (also, since we recorded this episode, Elon Musk's name has come up in the Epstein Files because he was begging to get onto the island).
