No, not winning, that is emphatically not on the docket today. Today we inveigh against whining, which is a form of meta-whining; what the Brits call “recursive whinging” or the French language names “le grand boo-hoo.” Given that the hosts engage in this degenerate, despicable behaviour, this is very much an issue of do as we say, not as we say when whining. Perhaps this is more complicated than I first suspected.

49:08 Topic: Whining

Bigney continues with his degeneracy of loving Ra over Medici. :roll_eyes:

I somwhat disagree with their view that Planet X doesn’t have player interaction. Having a lot of theories allows you to score lots, but opens up information for everybody.

Whining is I think the best topic I’ve listened to so far, based on entertainment value.
