Episode CCXXX: Mixtape part II w/professor Dave

Professor Dave is a regular contributor to the show, a biologist who earned his education at Eastern Michigan University.

Atlanta Water Crisis and Presidential Candidates

David and Jay discussed their interest in Atlanta and its history, particularly the 2020 water pipe break incident that caused a state of emergency. They also touched on their professional connections to Emory University Hospital and its work with stem cells, as well as the potential of an unnamed individual running for president. The conversation further delved into the recent water crisis in Atlanta, Georgia, and its implications, including the continuity of prison labor. Lastly, they discussed other cities' water crises, such as Flint, Michigan, emphasizing that such problems should not occur in any community.

Infrastructure, Climate Change, and Water Resources

David and Jay discussed the negative impacts of insufficient infrastructure on communities, with a focus on the case of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) in California. They also explored the issues related to the inadequate design of infrastructure and communities to manage the effects of climate change, as well as the financial and infrastructure problems of Atlanta. The conversation highlighted the importance of water as a critical resource and its significance in the political system. They also discussed the challenges faced by the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management and the issues surrounding its priorities and financial management.

Water Main Break, Ticket Prices, and Politics

David and Lake discussed the recent water main break in Atlanta and its impact on Megan Thee Stallion's concert. They also delved into the rising ticket prices in the music industry, the controversy surrounding Ticketmaster's monopoly, and the concept of "bread and circuses" in politics. The pair expressed their disillusionment with the music industry and the negative consequences of the "bread and circuses" strategy in politics, citing examples from ancient Rome and contemporary society. They concluded that unregulated access to this strategy can lead to dependence and catastrophe.

Jay refused to call Constantinople its new name, claiming he never heard of it and refused to say the name of the country that has occupied the city since 1453.
