Buckle up, because this week we're spiraling into one of the internet's darkest (and most tragically cringey) cults: Incels, a.k.a. self-proclaimed “involuntary celibates” who believe they've been cursed by the universe (read: women) to live a life without love, sex, or accountability. Joining Amanda and Reese for this delightfully horrifying deep-dive are cult comedy kings Henry Zebrowski (@drfantasty) and Ed Larson (@eddietunes) of Last Podcast on the Left (@lpontheleft), here to help us unpack how this chronically online community evolved from obscure message boards into a full-blown belief system complete with its own language, martyrs, and very questionable ethos. We're talking “Chads,” “Stacys,” color-coded pills, doomer memes, and a whole lot of weaponized loneliness. Is this a support group gone wrong? A sad-boy doomsday cult? Or just a bunch of dudes who desperately need therapy and a hobby? Tune in for a wild ride through the cultiest corners of the manosphere—tinfoil hats optional, but encouraged.

Constitutional Chats hosted by Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie
The American Revolution ended in 1781. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. George Washington was elected our country's first president in 1788 and sworn in 1789. Besides the Constitutional Convention 1787, there has not been significant scholarly study into what George Washington was doing in the intervening years between the end of the Revolutionary War and his election as President. Our guest today wrote a book on those years called, “The Return of George Washington: Uniting the States, 1783-1789” and will chat with our student panel on Washington's role in laying the groundwork for the new country during those years. Dr. Ed Larson is a Pulitzer Prize winning author and serves as a senior fellow of the University of Georgia's Institute of Higher Education and is currently University Professor of History at Pepperdine University.
