Summary

This week Vann Newkirk (@fivefifths) joins Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) to discuss conspiracy and its complex relationship with marginalized groups. Why does conspiratorial thinking appeal to those who feel “othered” within their society? Vann walks us through how the historic mistreatment of people of color has created a baseline of skepticism that can grow into full-on conspiracy. As Vann says: “Black Americans’ belief in conspiracy theories is like the Farmers’ Almanac: accurate enough to keep using.” Thanks to our Sponsors!

0:00.0	We've all faced this dilemma at the end of a long day. Make a healthy homemade dinner or take the
0:06.6	quick and easy route. Gobble gives you the best of both worlds. And I say this as a person who is
0:12.0	pretty much going to fall into that quick and easy route most of the time, whether that is,
0:19.7	when I'm good, that means nuking a sweet potato for dinner, when I'm bad, that means
0:25.6	delicious delivery. Gobble gives me no excuse to make dinner. I should say rather, it gives my
0:32.8	husband no excuse to make dinner because he's the one who actually does the cooking. And this
0:36.8	summer, he's particularly enjoying the fact that Gobble is offering grill kits. You get to make the
0:42.9	dinner in your kitchen if you want to, but also if you want to grill, you may do that. And you know,
0:47.5	for some reason, dudes think grilling is not the same as cooking, I guess. It's a little more
0:52.2	manly. In any case, you can grill and it will still take just about 15 minutes. All of their meals
1:00.0	are just about 15 minutes and all of their meals are usually one pan. I guess with a grill,
1:05.8	not technically a pan, even. The great thing about Gobble is that their army of sous chefs do all the
1:11.4	time in consuming work for you. They pick out the ingredients, they peel, they chop, they marinate,
1:15.9	they make the sauces. All you have to do is pick out your meal and then kind of put it together.
1:21.0	And at the end of the day, you'll have a home-cooked meal ready again in just about 15 minutes.
1:26.0	That is why Parents Magazine voted Gobble the number one meal kit.
1:30.2	I know you're going to like Gobble if you try it. Now, once you try it, so there's an incredible
1:34.3	limited-tied deal to get you started. Six meals for $36 plus free shipping. That's dinner for two
1:39.9	for three nights for just $36. I don't know about you, but my last delivery bill was higher than that.
1:46.6	Only available if you go to my special URL, gobble.com slash friends, that's gobble.com slash friends.
1:58.3	Hi, I'm Anna Marie Cox and welcome to With Friends Like These. Where for the month of June,
2:03.6	we are talking conspiracy theories. I am really excited about this week's episode.
