About this episode
The episode discusses various topics related to surveillance, technology, and game shows based on listener mail.
Boozy inspires Ben to propose an investigation into all game show hosts for possible espionage. Swearing In asks why so many tech giants are selling hardware at a loss -- is this part of the surveillance state? The Hero of Canton notes that, of all people, your local law enforcement is actually fighting against the unbridled surveillance of 'Flock Safety'. Also, people who get incarcerated are going to be microchipped. All this and more in this week's listener mail segment.
