No intro music!! 2025 has launched into a frenzy, starting off with a terrorist attack on the first in New Orleans, a surprise (officially) lawsuit from Drake the rapper suing Universal Music Group (and by proxy his archnemesis Kendrick Lamar), and then accelerating into the never-before-seen territory of government by Elon Trump after the Trump inauguration. And then Herschel got a completely unh...

We are living in a golden age of scam.   Or, according to actor Ben McKenzie and journalist Jacob Silverman, in their upcoming book Easy Money, a golden age of fraud.     Be it fraud or scam - the point is that deception will take you far in the world today. The election of George Santos to congress is a perfect example of this. The downfall of SBF, founder and former CEO of FTX, is another gleari...

#rtbth introduces a new segment to the podcast - Social Dilemmas.   The concept came up when discussing in the group chat the Theranos scandal and Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing.
