When P&C started the podcast, Pigweed thought we might have three or four topics to discuss, but then what? Now, many scores of episodes in, the boys find they can’t keep up with everything they want to talk about, so from time to time they have to plow through several topics in one episode. This time …
1. Our insulation from death in the modern world, and how that affects our lives.
2. What if the media covered auto fatalities in the same 24×7 manner they cover other stories? Auto fatalities by brand, by model, by the age or sex or nationality of the driver, by region …. There’s no end to the stories they could get out of it.
3. How much power do you hand over to the government during a crisis, and what are the limits? Right now, the tech titans are offering to track people to ensure they’re following government mandates about social distancing. Once the crisis is over, will they stop?
4. Pigweed’s theory of the Asian bow, and might we see the death of the handshake?
5. Mail bag. Did the boys diss the 7 deadly sins? Also, women and men, the sense of smell, and brewing.
