    Think cancel culture doesn't exist? Tell that to the people who have lost jobs or been publicly humiliated, even if what they've been accused of isn't true. We discuss the current and future implications of cancel culture and hypothesize of better ways to handle this issue. But first, our conversation starts out about a gay couple versus a small bakery. Thing is, this isn't an isolated incident - multiple times this has happened, and with varying results. So grab a slice of cake, turn off Pepe LePew and let us know how you feel about this episode. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/57-percent-true/support

    Can you really be happy about someone dying? Sure, you may think life would be nicer if certain people in your life kicked the bucket, or media would be better if someone would just die already... but should you find happiness in their death? Plus - should we really be spending money on making robots and flying them to another planet to drive around? All we know is, when Cody breaks out the tonic water, that's when things get interesting. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/57-percent-true/support

    If you've listened to any episode before this, you know we're not fans of social media. So we're providing an in depth examination of why. Will and I discuss the documentary The Social Dilemma along with the benefits and consequences of social media. We also talk about ways to improve your own personal usage, how to avoid pitfalls most of us fall for, and how to fine tune your experience to make sure you're getting the full story. That's right - you're only getting half the story on your feeds. Don't believe us?

    Did you know hate crimes against Asian-Americans have gone up 1900% from March 2020 to December 2020? Odds are, you don't. Why aren't mainstream media outlets talking more about this? Why did it take a victim's daughter reaching out to Olivia Munn to make this alarming trend a blip on the radar? My guest Amy and I discuss reasons why we think little has been said on this topic, and why it may remain in the shadows for some time to come. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/57-percent-true/support

    Before you start writing that hate mail and demanding the podcast to be canceled, Will, my guest, helped come up with the name of this episode. Since he's gay, an atheist, and has an awesome sense of humor, I had to use the suggestion because it's hilarious. Will sheds a light on so many subjects and offers advice to those who may feel alone in their personal turmoil. Plus - a Christian and a "gaytheist" in the same studio for an hour, having a rational conversation, without trying to kill each other? Once your heads are done exploding, give this episode a listen - I guarantee there's something for everyone to learn and enjoy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/57-percent-true/support
