Who is your favorite Friend of the Pod?
I think I understand the definition. A bastard, who may or may not have had an episode of their own, who frequently appears as a side character in another bastard's episode. Examples: Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Raygun, LRH, Walt Disney
In 1938 Walt Disney gave a warm welcome and personal tour of his studio to Nazi Filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl

Legally how can the UFC fight be pay per view?
Yes I know, because they are stealing and wildly corrupt. But, its being paid for with money from the American Taxpayer right? Like public parks, monuments, the Smithsonian. They all are free and open to the public because its tax payer money that funds them. The UFC fight by all rights, as dumb as it is, it should be free and publicly broadcast. if you buy the pay per view could you have legal standing to sue that it should have been for free?
Nearly Got Grifted by a Youtube Bastard
So youtube's algorithm served me up this interesting video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc3ffK46uhU) if you want the full experience of what I got watch it first and fell how I felt when the rug got pulled out from me.
The video about Baba Yaga and its was really interesting at first, the person is a genuinely good storyteller. Anyway, half way through she suddenly brings up that she's a "therapist" (more on that later) and this is all for you to buy her "therapy" app betwixt or whatever and it starts getting all Jordan B. Petersony but with less tangents. Jungian Archetypes clean your room, buy my thing. And I just felt gross. Like I got pulled in by some obscene phone caller. Or just a visceral confirmation of what I already know to be intellectually true. Everyone is susceptible to a grift or culty thing, myself included.
So I look up this lady, Hazel Gale, and she is a former kickboxer who became a HYPNOtherapist. That didn't work out I guess so she decided to make an app that gameifies therapy and start making content.

The People Who Brought You Good Old WWI
Considering how absolutely awful the first world war was for everyone involved on all sides for literally no reason, I think an episode just talking about everyone on all sides who were producing the war. This also could go for the the architects in the pentagon of Vietnam
