This week we're breaking down Episode 7: \"The Gap\" - and we've got a special guest. Joe Price, vocalist for Helliphant and founding member of QAN, joins us with a perspective that challenges everything. Carol returns from Vegas singing REM's \"It's the End of the World,\" embracing her solitude - or at least pretending to. Manny's story deepens. Both characters face what the title promises: gaps in understanding, gaps in connection, gaps in what they thought they knew. But here's where it gets philosophical. Joe challenges our Team Carol stance with a question we haven't fully explored: What if the joining isn't consumption? What if it's transcendence? Can the joined explore the Alps in someone else's body? Does Goomba get to experience being a world-famous surgeon? Or is the hive mind just The Walking Dead with better marketing? We debate whether the joining is horror or evolution, why Carol might actually be wrong, and what happens when the gap between joined and unjained becomes impossible to bridge. Plus: Join our Discord. We have a stupid theories section, and Josh thinks Carol is Bob Newhart.","meta_description":"E PLURIBUS UNUM - EPISODE 7: \"THE GAP\" Welcome to E Pluribus Unum, the podcast where we deep dive into the hive mind.
