And the biggest criminals of the world are the pharmaceutical companies, right? The thing that put this shit out there and intentionally, and no, it's poison, I mean.

Dave and Chris, with their signature blend of dark humor and raw honesty, guide the discussion, making it both entertaining and deeply thought-provoking.
