Episode 20 - Medical Misinformation

This week our deep dive is on medical misinformation.

Some of you may not be aware of this, but Jack has had a pretty steep battle with cancer over the past few years and through some pretty advanced medical procedures he is still with us. If he listened to wellness grifters on facebook, however, he would likely (definitely) be dead.

We like Jack and want to keep him so this works for us. But this also makes me fucking angry. Cancer grifters are the worst. Covid grifters aren't too far behind, but there's something especially visceral about someone that sells miracle snake oil to people in a moment of mortal vulnerability. We discuss Jack's experience with his cancer, his neobladder (it's crazy shit) and how cancer and wellness grifters are generally the scum of the earth.

In the news we look at the absolute torrent of voting system lawsuits that are pending which are going to seriously rock the bank accounts of a few right wing nutjobs. Eric is impeached, but finds his way home thanks to his keen nose and we have a look at Pete's pretty shit Craig Kelly interview. Betfair have not given up hope, in fact they are more buoyant than ever. Which is insane because they are NEVER going to see that money.

Enjoy!
