Episode 71 - We're Sorry About Worms.

<p>We got worm fever on the Epoch! Actually, this is mostly a downer of an episode, but we try to liven things up however we can. First, we examine the "Rust" shooting, as contrast to the recent IATSE near-strike, and try to answer who exactly is culpable for the tragedy. After a brief mention of the Facebook leaks, we move on to local politics. Scott riffs on the 3rd Boston mayoral debate, we explain what a "Bridge-hack-a-thon" is, and the planned-but-doomed Long Island Bridge. We get into the dirt with slimy anti-Wu campaign tactics, Richard Neal's reject of Biden's paid leave, and the number cops being firing for skipping the vaccine mandate. WARNING: What come's after this is a rather lengthy and sober discussion on situation with Mass and Cass, involuntary detainment, substance abuse, addiction, mental health, and recovery. To round out the show, Chava tells us the story of a New Zealand Wizard shafted by the man, and Sarah and Scott spitball their Dune thoughts.
