this master of treachery, Austin, is able to fool a professional athlete, nod goofily.

And this world-class professional athlete is saying,

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

That's legit.

Yeah, totally.

To both your points, you know, I love the ambiguity of that.

I love the fraughtness of it.

And I also love how smart that episode is.

And the show occasionally is really smart about identifying exactly what's wrong with us right now and all the things that we're actually worried about.

It does have its finger on the pulse sometimes.

But it seems like the ultimate moral of this is like, go along to get along is the ultimate moral of this thing.

And I think...

That maybe misreads the temperature of the room a little bit.

I think people are filling the streets right now not to go along with billionaires.

I think there is a problem now that we're recognizing that we put these people in positions of power who don't deserve it.

And yet it seems like the show is kind of

nihilistic in that sense where it says you know hey ultimately money will corrupt you you know you become what you hate the most and then you're satisfied you want to keep it and which is a tale as old as time we know this full circle what did i learn from this

People on the margins are desperate.

Thank you.
