Men in their 30's who are social philosophers, gamers, hockey, tv and movie enthusiasts.

An episode that was supposed to be dedicated to a discussion about the legalization of prostitution was instead mainly spent on the statement from British Prime Minister Theresa May wherein she co-opted a terror attack on UK citizens to push her internet regulation agenda. The discussion continues on to other UK legislation, ie the porn laws that came into effect last year before finally wending its way back to the legalization of prostitution. Ken Thomas, Jason Sarma and John Fullerton discuss.
Ken Thomas and Jesse Ostermann look back on the Oilers season for 2016-17 and rate the players.
The ongoing influx of refugees from war-torn countries as well as the crossing of refugees from the United States into Canada and how to handle them. Broader discussion of immigration policies. Some divergence into crime discussion in the middle but brought back to immigration after a segue. Ken, Jason and John all have different opinions on immigration but manage to say their opinions while maintaining a civil discussion. A good start for our first serious episode where we learn we can disagree with each other but respect the other person's right to their opinion. We will be doing more serious episodes in future. Future topics will include: Legal Age, Misdemeanors and Bylaws, Drug Legalization, Prostitution Legalization, Government policies towards the "indigenous" population, Enforcement and cost of the law, voting rights, political parties.

Ken and John just came back to wow a few weeks ago and are generally pleased with legion as an xpac. Review of patch 7.2 and how the gear given by Timeless Isle 3.0 is too high of ilvl. A look at upcoming class changes and a rant by Jason with regards to the planned changes for Brewmaster Monks. Ken and Jason are unimpressed with the way the Demon Hunter tanking spec was setup. Despite these negative episode notes, there is a lot of positivity as well with regards to mythic + and the new way that dailies are done and the setup of the zones to no longer have them left behind once you're levelled up.
The movies that we considered to be the non-universal best. Ones which we found the best for more personal reasons rather than the obvious ones.
Discussion about the Calder and Hart trophy insanely close races, Teams that have played above or below expectations for this season, and if the playoffs started today who we think would win which series and why.
The best dramatic TV shows we've ever seen and why. This episode is the usual 3 (Ken, Jason, John), and we start off with what we've been up to in the past 2 weeks before we get into it. There are some great shows here, and you may or may not agree, we don't always agree with each other.
Hour 1 is Ken/Jason/John talking about what's new for them in the past week before they get into talking about raiding. They rate the raids, bosses and talk about some of their raiding experiences.

Ken Thomas Jason Sarma and John Fullerton discuss their favorite TV shows of all time.
Ken talks about the effects of social movements and population trends and how they affect society and human interactions and what we're likely to see in the future. I'm sure I manage to piss everyone off with this one. People want you on their side of the fence, not standing in the middle, and if you're on one side of the fence, you're likely to throw ordinance at anyone not on your side, regardless of if they're in the middle or all the way to the other side.

I take some time to go over an epiphany I had earlier in the season which influenced my thinking towards the Oilers and about NHL franchises in general, thinking which crops up during episodes of the podcast but had never been explained before until now.
Jesse and I discuss the results of the draft lottery, what the Oilers should do with their pick and what they should do this offseason, Matthews vs. Laine and the IIHF WC, Toronto Media and their lack of ability to get past McDavid and just enjoy Matthews, how we as Edmonton fans are sick of getting shit about our team on top of having to watch them lose every season, predictions for points for Toronto and Winnipeg next season.
