169 Kayfabe and the Death of Drake

June 20, 2026

The Professor's little dog Drake died on May 24, and the world feels like it is ending. But what is real, and what is kayfabe? Tucker Carlson tells us the American Empire has ended, but the world seems to be enjoying visiting America for the World Cup. Was JRR Tolkien really a white supremacist, or is that just Trump Derangement Syndrome, too? And how was Agatha Christi able to see through the kayfabe of the Cold War already in 1951? Confused? Maybe it's all just a game after all—but not if dogs don't go to heaven. We promise, it all makes sense if you put the right glasses on. —Streamed June 19, 2026
