Summary

In this episode Kyle and Chris discuss a recent interview between two British blokes--Andrew Gold and, self-proclaimed "ethno-nationalist," Steve Laws. They tie this interview to the growing popularity of similar personalities in the U.S., such as Nick Fuentes, and a growing social movement towards nationalism. They discuss the difference between so-called civic nationalism and ethno-nationalism, the obstacles to assimilation and the role genes play in the development of society and culture. Using the subject of genes as a segway, they end the show with a discussion of a bizarre genetic condition--alpha-reductase deficiency--which plagues a small tribe in the Dominican Republic called 'Guevedoces.' Enjoy ;)
