There’s a ton of great episodes, but if this isn’t top 5 for the hilarious outrage targeting alone I’ll ride the magic carpet all season.

Apple Podcasts5SingapowUnited States10 months ago - Hypocrites
Content not bad but just flat out hypocritical when it comes to the environment! These people always talk about the climate and sustainability but they jet set around the globe, laying a huge carbon footprint!
But always telling us how we have to sacrifice to save the planet
