Episode CCXXVII: More of the same from Missouristan, DEI rubrics, EDC prices

Police Brutality

We discussed the contact details of Sturgeon Police Department and urged listeners to communicate honestly and peacefully with the department and its chief. They also expressed their concern about police brutality, the lack of trust in the police force, and the actions of a police officer who was seen on camera mistreating a defenseless creature.

DEI Scoring Rubric and Pronoun Confusion

We discussed the scoring rubric for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), with Jay emphasizing that showcasing commitment without specifics is not enough. They further discussed the trend of using vague terms and the need for demonstrating a concrete plan for promoting DEI. They also criticized the use of made-up pronouns and the concept of 'neo-pronouns', which they deemed as a new level of insanity. The discussion highlighted the confusion around the terms 'non-binary' and 'gender-fluid', which they both agreed did not compute well.

Discontent With Rising Concert Ticket Prices

We expressed discontent with the increasing prices of concert tickets and the associated expenses, such as overpriced food and drinks. jaycriticized the high prices, noting that they often correlate with unpleasant experiences and are unaffordable for many without significant wealth. chris shared his dissatisfaction with current prices, comparing them to much lower prices he paid in the past for shows from prominent bands. Everyone agreed that the trend of exorbitant prices was not justified and criticized the current trend as not cool.

Critiquing John Stewart's Political Commentary

The group critiqued John Stewart's political commentary, deeming him an irresponsible and dishonest commentator who misled younger audiences. Jayargued that Stewart's style was full of errors, cliches, and preening, and that college students, who were unacquainted with adult realities, were the primary audience for his show. Lake also discussed the media's coverage of the Iraq War and former US President George W. Bush, suggesting that the media didn't report propaganda but that the truth was distorted. He expressed confusion about why people took The Daily Show, a comedic news program, as a source of real and factual news.
