80 - The King of Staten Island: Bravely Defunding Firefighters
Show Notes

Truly a saga of an episode. Ostensibly, we discuss the new Judd Apatow film The King of Staten Island, a Pete Davidson semi-autobiographical film about a hot couch guy whose dead dad gives him trauma. It is perhaps the most MacDonald Test movie we have ever covered.

This leads to lengthy conversations on how long the financial crisis lasted for, the step-dad industrial complex, and nearly *twenty minutes* on the merits of funding the fire department. If you make it through, we discuss articles from the brightest minds at National Review: Armond White and Ross Douthat.
