Why does everything suck now? Chris and Max explore this question with our first guest William Craft and if an Old German man has a nonproblematic answer. Jumping off using the recently announced Survivor 50 cast Will, Chris, and Max explore Weber’s Iron Cage and its off shoots to see how capitalism has taken all the fun out of everything while complaining about niche fandoms, Catholicism, and our thoughts on Season 3 of White Lotus. Is fan culture just a time suck and second job for the audience? Did the producers ace it with the cast of Season 50? Will editing his first episode make Max realize how hard Chris works and make him stop being such a thirsty boy for drinks with ice cubes during podcast recording?
