Winners and Losers Show Hank Thompson

Dan Friesen from the Alex Jones research, tracking and analysis podcast, Knowledge Fight, joins me. We talk our early days doing stand up comedy in Chicago, the origins of Knowledge Fight and numerous topics related to Alex Jones including the infamous spitting incident, how movies influence Alex's offerings and survival bunkers, among many others. And of course there's a little TYT talk and lots of me interjecting my nonsense. Follow & Support Dan! Full Episode 195 on YouTube: Support links here:  

"What's so valuable about human attention?" I ask Ron Placone, comedian, filmmaker, political commentator, horizontal sleeper and lover of cats and cat love. We talk about the challenges of an artistic career in a world run by inhuman monsters, swap atheism origin stories, eco-socialism vs barbarism and have an honest manly discussion about our feelings and love for cats while I try to bully Ron into adopting mine.

Watching & reacting to the premiere of the 2nd large installment of "Tell The Truth, Cenk." Also: Cenk Uygur's nephew, Hasan Piker, spoke about his working conditions at The Young Turks on the Chuckle Sandwich podcast, giving insight into why workers at TYT needed a union. Plus we visit my old show, Infinite Clicks, and I go over a few other parts of the film, detailing my own employment conditions at TYT and why not receiving paid time off or health insurance motivated me to help start a union.

Lots of TYT Documentary talk — a couple sneak peaks and examining the edit, including more from former union-buster Martin J Levitt, then making fun of Margaret Thatcher and Connecticut governor Ned Lamont's refusal to help striking workers.

Not gonna lie: the opening is kind of a mess. After rambling about language barriers, mold, expired food and a plant, TYT project updates, a former Steven Crowder employee comes forward on free speech grounds and Joe Biden's latest healthcare lie brings up the 2016 reporting that Barack Obama had offered to help Joe Biden with expenses related to his son Beau Biden's terminal illnesses and sparks a lot of thoughts about the moral and cosmic abomination that is healthcare in the United States.

More Young Turks Documentary talk — After some project updates, we play a montage of union-buster Cenk Uygur telling a camera about unions, I explain how this project got started, expanded in scope and some of the challenges I've faced in working on it, then we explore in detail the mysteries of the Ethical Dark Web.
