What this episode covers
The reason I’m talking about this stuff, is because as men we have an obligation to think for ourselves. We should question everything we hear instead of blindly believing what we are fed…and then regurgitating it. There are very few pure sources of information out there now, everything has a bias. You owe it to yourself to do your own research, to determine for yourself the truth of things before you simply adopt them as gospel with no basis. What is at stake is your relationships.

The people who live in the same city as you do…they are all just people, like you.
