Bo comes back from an epic 22-year tradition canoe trip in the Adirondacks - complete with black flies, hypothermia, and some serious Type 2 fun - and drops maybe his most intense opening riff ever. We're talking democracy, pornography, evangelicalism, the economy, and a whole bunch of other stuff that doesn't mean what it used to mean anymore. Bo's got this theory about "floating signifiers" - basically things that have become untethered from their original meaning and are just floating around causing confusion and cultural chaos. From Methodists who don't do the methods to evangelicals who've been unmasked, from the gold standard to the stock market that may or may not actually exist, we dive deep into why nothing feels real anymore and why everyone's either retreating into romanticized nostalgia or getting lost in word policing. Plus: Ninja Turtle personality tests, the nine-by-nine-by-nine baseball challenge, and why Trip thinks we need to focus on basic material reality instead of fighting endless identity battles. It's a wild ride that somehow ends with a constructive Triple-A framework for moving forward.
