How We See Things

Two guys and a soapbox

11/07/2024

America Has A Problem

The Guys get back together for an emergency pod following the reelection of Donald J Trump as the 47th president of the United States. There's some despair, gnashing of teeth, hope, and a brief on kemi Badenoch, the latest version of Britain's attempt to create a Trumplike demagogue.

World War 3 (ish)

The guys give their reactions to the escalating conflict in the Middle East as evidenced by Iranian missile strikes which Israel successfully fended off. This should ostensibly be the end of it, but given the arch of history, it likely is not. Somehow the conversation meanders to a discussion of Bobrisky's arrest for "Naira Mutilation" and eventually the beef brewing in the Rap Game between Kendrick, Drake and everyone else.

The Spice Is Life

The guys give their thoughts on Dune 2 as a movie and as a social commentary on messianic religions, eugenics, and social responsibility. As you might have guessed, it turns into a discussion of the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Welcome to 2024

The guys are back! FWIW maybe they sound a little rusty, definitely more rusty than Joe Biden, who had a strong showing at the State of The Union speech last week. They discuss US and UK politics and the outlook for minority political power.

Last Call For World Peace

The guys asked themselves hard questions about the distinction between 'Hamas', everyday 'Palestinians' and the legitimacy of armed resistance. Finally, Statesman X comes up with a solution for the Israel - Palestine conflict thereby throwing his hat in for president of the world.

Touching The Third Rail

The guys discuss probably the most complicated issue to ever plague our species; the Israel - Palestine conflict. They have a meta-conversation about media narratives then segue into a philosophical and realistic conversation about extremism and the material issues on the ground.

Debate Bros Part Deux

The guys have a special guest! Mike joins the guys to discuss (read defend) Tinubu and the APC mandate. They spend the first half talking about the Certificate Issue and then segue into an international relations conversation about the attack in Israel, the geopolitical ramifications, and Nigerias role in international affairs. It's a fun episode!

View from 30,000 Ft.

The guys discuss the death of Mohbad and give their reactions to the reactions. They discuss the circumstances surrounding his death and the way Nigerians have responded, they then segue into a philosophical discussion about protests and strategy. Somewhere along the line, Dan suggests he'd volunteer Statesman X as the supreme leader of Nigeria.
