Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
3 minDiscussion of post-election political hypocrisy on Facebook, going to Nevada to campaign, Standing Rock as symbolic protest, and the environmental toll of oil spills versus finding alternative energy.
- 36:06Tim describes meeting a Dr. Moreau-looking guy at a program meeting eating a McChicken and putting lotion on his legs while claiming women were falling all over him.
- 36:28People without shared experiences in sobriety meetings derail with unrelated personal stories, like an old lady saying she has nowhere else to go but drinks wine anyway.
- 36:57Tim became weirdly political after the election and called it Facebook-tier behavior when friends suddenly started posting activist content.
- 37:14Tim argues he'd rather have the stability of globalists than Trump, defending the case that Hillary would do more for the poor.
- 37:32People talk about going to pro-protests but don't actually do shit—they should give money, make calls, or go campaign in Nevada instead.
- 37:49Standing Rock was symbolic because the government already has six pipelines under there and will keep fucking people regardless.
- 38:04Everyone's looking for a savior like Elon Musk, but we need to find alternate energy sources and stop depending on one person to fix it.
- 38:18Oil spills are made into a big deal with death counts, but the impact on fishermen's lives and the environment isn't properly quantified or talked about.
- 38:29Fishing industry has robbed the sea in five years and you have to put quotas on them or they'll keep raping the ocean.
