Join me as I discuss poverty with a conservative. There we will dive into the modern conservative view of public welfare systems and just how contemptuous conservatives believe them to be. My conservative friend explains to me how he feels about those that are unemployed and how they need to be put to work as soon as possible. This is despite their personal woes and anything that might be troubling them. Join us to discover what a modern conservative thinks and feels about those that are suffering from poverty.

Join us in the hot tub as we talk with an elderly conservative. Larry loves his family and believes that the family unit is the most basic unit of civilization. So basic, in fact, that it should be responsible for curing all the ills that trouble modern day society. Are you homeless? Then it is up to your family to help you. Mentally ill? Your family should take care of you. Addicted to drugs? Live with your family, they have all the resources you could ever need. After speaking with Larry I break down how his conservative “solutions” fail and demonstrate that he really doesn’t give a shit. Please join us.
In this episode of the Hot Tub Monologues, we explore the modern conservatives’ hatred of nudity. In a conversation I had in my athletic club’s hot tub I met a middle aged progressive with very conservative notions of nudity. There he described to me how uncomfortable it made him feel to see nudity in public, what he thought our obligations are pertaining to nudity as a society, and eventually he just called me a pervert. Please join me as we explore the topic of public nudity and discover how to progress past any discomfort we might have.
