Nate calls in from the road on this episode, and starts off the show recounting the real estate successes of friends he is visiting. That leads to a discussion of the impact of credit on real estate prices, and the many similarities between the twilight of the Roman Empire and our current plight. After Brain waxes optimistic, the lads continue to delve into the spiritual history of the late Roman Empire and its relevance to economic history. Baphomet, St. Augustine, and Original Sin are all touched upon. Finally, the boys remember Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in an extreme act of protest against the ongoing violence in Gaza.
