About this episode
Spencer discusses a series of unfortunate events and societal themes while reflecting on his own character development.
Spencer's car got broken into, he's unsure if he's accidentally racist, then nearly killed an elderly jaywalker, realizes he's midway through a slow flanderization into a caricature of himself, and ate some restaurant food that tastes like bleach. We also touch on why there's a healing fantasy about strong man politicians, parental wounds being capitalist tools, and how Magic: The Gathering's stack system works. Also, we're on YouTube now. https://www.youtube.com/@ThatHappensPod/videos Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
