Summary

After Nate brags about his minimalist achievement in the Android App Drawer, Brian brings up some strange tweets and bizarre circumstances surrounding the recent shooting at White House Correspondents Dinner. The lads are left to speculate how much of our reality is actually manufactured for our consumption. The boys then dig into ruling class’s motivation for deception. To buttress the point, Nate launches into a brief history of attempts to dismantle the USA’s only public bank, the Bank of North Dakota.
