HSR 06/12/25 Marcus Aurelius Was Sigma Bro Ft. Nick De Leon

This week, writer and chaos agent Nick De Leon joins Chris Stanley and Chirs Faga on High Society Radio for a coast-to-coast session of philosophical detours, Nintendo name debates, and corporate conspiracies. From a possible Mario Bros censorship scandal to Deloitte’s shady rise in global consulting, the episode jumps from New York voting mishaps to shirt-folding machines, Steam Decks, and whether Marcus Aurelius was the first "sigma male." Also: a plumbing story you won't forget and geopolitical hot takes you didn’t ask for—but definitely needed.
