    I'm saying this as a big fan. I listen to them all the time, but they are definitely white guys in their 40's raised on South Park. The impression I get I that they are well meaning but grillman with most things.

    Edit: as an aside I think Henry is a budding leftist. A few months ago while researching MKUltra he mentioned that he went down a rabbit hole of leftist conspiracy theories, but unlike most conspiracy theories these ones have merit.

    "If it weren't for you guys grounding me I would be living in a cabin like Ted Kaczynski and plotting against the government."

      I'd agree with that. A relic of the era where three white men entering the same room creates a quantum entanglement resulting in a podcast.
