Summary

Spencer's car got broken into, he's unsure if he's accidentally racist, then nearly killed an elderly jaywalker, realizes he's midway through a slow flanderization into a caricature of himself, and ate some restaurant food that tastes like bleach. We also touch on why there's a healing fantasy about strong man politicians, parental wounds being capitalist tools, and how Magic: The Gathering's stack system works. Also, we're on YouTube now. https://www.youtube.com/@ThatHappensPod/videos Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
