Ok I know this episode doesn't seem like the good chill time yall were promised but hear me out.
Tucker wanted to talk about the Iraq War, but I think by the time I finished recording and editing the episode, a couple more things were clear. Growing up under any political administration takes its toll and for young kids a lot of that is based off of the messaging and imagery that's circulated over and over again by the government, media, and press.
So this episode is about the impact of that on Tucker's poor young brain, and also since he's a writer, about how important words and phrasing can be, especially for political propaganda!
The documentary we watched was pretty interesting as well- it's called The Unknown Know (2013) if anyone is interested in seeing Donald Rumsfeld's creepy smile.
