This week, we are joined by one of our favorite guests as Tony Miller returns to talk about the Tolerance Paradox.

This week we talk about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump (or whatever that was). More importantly, we talk about the question of whether or not it is OK to make jokes about that event.

And while that sucks, it gives us a great opportunity to talk about the experience of losing a loved one of faith and having to deal with all that faith stuff while you are grieving and that faith stuff means nothing to you. Maybe not the most positive of topics but hey – maybe you …

In the “late stage capitalism” category, we talk about Uber and Lyft pulling out of Minneapolis because they would rather not pay their drivers than ra…
