Chapter 46: Looney Tunes Back in Action - Breshion Frandon's Debut

Is it Looney Toons or Looney Tunes? We always thought it was the former, but due to the Mandela Effect, time has changed and we are but small minds of faint recollection.

This has nothing to do with the episode, but this quote from the Federalist Papers really intrigued us: "And as to those mortal feuds which, in certain conjunctures, spread a conflagration through a whole nation, or through a very large proportion of it, proceeding either from weighty causes of discontent given by the government or from contagion of some violent popular paroxysm, they do not fall within any ordinary rules of calculation. When they happen, they commonly amount to revolutions and dismemberment of empire. No form of government can always either avoid or control them." Now here they're referring to the Articles of Confederation and the opponents of the Constitution to consider that force is necessary for the government to have control of as a means of preventing the base desires of the people being acted out in a fashion that could destroy their neighbors or their property. But what's interesting is the relevance of the last bit in relation to current events in the country. The Founders essentially considered revolution to be the Thanos of political movements--it is inevitable. This is not to endorse violent uprisings, quite the opposite, this is merely to point out that change and cultural sways were always factored into the framing of the Constitution. They later refer to operating during events that are not "too mighty for human foresight or precaution", where normal governmental operations could be concerned (i.e. wars, rights, foreign relations, etc.) That's kind of crazy and is some interesting food for thought.

You're not going to get that kind of analysis today, fellow listeners, for today is a day that will live in infamy as the day where we recorded too late for anyone to form a coherent thought. However, what we do have in store for you is some genuinely interesting banter and maybe a few laughs here and there. Also Chris basically read an entire Wikipedia page for his recap, so the length of it is only half of what it is usually...
