## Resource

Captain Ray Tracy and Mr. Green debate whether Quentin Tarantino would actually be fun to do cocaine with, dig into the Justin Roiland/Dan Harmon Rick and Morty fallout, and unpack The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F ck. Then Mr. Green pitches his dream business: Peak Male, a Big Buck Hunter bar for guys who don't give a f ck. Plus emails, including one that goes somewhere dark fast.
