Episode 5: Distinguished Degenerates

Welcome to a refined yet reckless session of the Altered Judgement podcast. In this episode, we lean into our new identity as Distinguished Degenerates—bringing you high-class commentary on the lowest-brow topics.From the historical accuracy of medieval cannabis to the structural integrity of toilet paper, Joe, Pat, and Alex dive deep into the things that truly matter.
