Jeffrey Epstein was trending again on Twitter due to the death of, yet again, another Epstein associate, Steven Hoffenberg.  Although he was 77-years old, Hoffenberg's body was found rotten "in a state where a visual identification could not be made.”  Hoffenberg claimed Epstein was his accomplice in the Towers Financial Corp. Ponzi scheme that landed him 18 years in prison.   Burning Man has returned after a two-year hiatus.  In this week-long event, thousands gather to explore and express art, self-expression, and the infamous ceremony that ends with burning a large wooden effigy.  The taboo of this event has sparked many conspiracy theories and we debate a video that attempts to gather all of these theories.   The show ends discussing the impact of conspiracy theories and how they could cause more harm than good if presented without appropriate context and facts.  They discuss challenging all aspects of theories with respectable skepticism.  They explore how blindly following theories without rationalizing the evidence can lead to an isolation, resentment, and animosity towards those who are seeking answers.   Pardon My American podcast (PMA) is an opinion-based podcast that explores politics, entertainment, paranormal, and culture all while having a good laugh.
