This episode is coming at you a little late but worth it. This week we talk about dadaism, absurdism and how art can be used in times of political uncertainty and how this relates to brainrot, whimsymaxxing, and the political power in being creative. From the world wars to operation inflation to 6-7 bizarre brassieres we're AEIOUing all over the place.
