Deprivation, Excess and Disney Princes

November 30, 2018

What’s the role of deprivation in a time with so much excess? And why are Disney princes so lame? [16:57]


This week, Joey and Aaron talk about fasting, hedonism, the most sinful cities in America, lazy patriarchy, Mr. Mom-ism, and the inevitable queer Disney prince. They don’t talk about how The Beast’s real name is Adam. Beep boop.
