Summary
In this episode, I share my 'physiognomical theory of everything,' and what could unaffectionately be referred to as "communist face." Here I discuss facial structures, perceived softness, and why certain public figures project a collectivist energy based solely on appearance. This eventually turns into a broader conversation about leadership, optics, and testosterone (or lack thereof). Fortunately, the perception of strength has been revived in the modern era. From there, I pivot to Super Bowl LX, Tom Brady, Bad Bunny, and the cultural messaging wrapped therein. Also, Savannah Guthrie kidnapping coverage, the Epstein files, speculation around COVID origins, “Latinx” terminology, media coverage of deportations, and much more.
