Guys, thank you for existing.

David Lee

How soon do you usually post the audio version?

Andrew Carkner

Thanks for drawing attention to this! I've worked as a chemical engineer in the renewable energy field for more than a decade, and greenwashing enrages me so much.

Great podcast, especially for making the point that consumers can't fix this problem but that we do have some power to wield. Since I have your attention, I have a suggestion for Friday; Texas legislator Brian Slaton, author of many terrible bills including one banning children from drag shows, was forced to resign because he had sex with an intern. Of course he did. Anyway, this asshole represented my hometown, where many of my friends and my mother still live. His campaign signs featured that cannon from the "Come and Take It" flag beloved of loons everywhere. I realize that "conservative lawmaker whose record is entirely made up of culture war bullshit turns out to be sex pest" is now well into yawn category for being so common, I would like to make the world aware of what a disgusting person Brian Slaton is. Thanks for letting me rant.

A question: is plastic recycling not really possible or not really _cost effective_? Like, what if the government created jobs in dealing with that, could the problem of plastic pollution actually be solved while also redistributing some wealth?

You should make warmbo a real field reporter. See if you can get people to do interviews with a puppet

Did anyone else notice the weird audio thing at 22:35? Edit: Actually the camera refocusing a lot becomes super mesmerizing. It's like Cody waves his hands and the camera waves back.

Yithian

Sew revolutionary! I see what y'all did there and I appreciate it

Darrell Winfrey

Hey, Cody. I like your ad-libs and unscripted lines. Your newscaster delivery is on point, but riffing matches your scruffy look much better. I wonder how it would come across if you did an extended, improvised rant at the end of your Some More News episodes. I wonder...

I do environmental testing for a living. I worked for a company that ran the EPA and state required samples for a Coke plant here. They're samples consistently had to be diluted heavily to fit in our analytical limits and we did work for DoD. It was horrific every time. The EPA is a joke. I've been in this industry for a decade. I've seen horrifically contaminated effluent. I've never even heard of any one of them being fined.

paused at 17:34, my seven year old saw the freeze frame and announced that you're not an alien because aliens don't wear beards. lol
