Mitch's twisted game show the sequel....

This week, Mitch dives right into a chaotic sequel to last week’s episode, pitching a dystopian game show where you gamble your actual lifespan for wishes. Then, we take it a step further and imagine a world where McDonald’s runs a lethal survival show. Naturally, all this dark talk reminds us of our own glory days and a brutal Cap'n Crunch eating contest that absolutely destroyed the roofs of our mouths. We also get into some fascinating science and cultural deep dives, unpacking how neuroplasticity proves our brains are way more resilient than our high school health teachers claimed. We question whether the government is intentionally fueling the Gen X vs. Millennial feud to keep us from teaming up against the system, and look at how the new Little House on the Prairie remake is casually exposing massive historical corporate corruption. Finally, we wrap things up with a look at California politics and Gavin Newsom's move to return coastal land to local tribes for a major casino and tourism boost.
