0:00.0	Do you feel like life just keeps getting more out of control? Are you frequently wondering if what you just saw is even real? Well, there's a show that can definitely make things better slightly for you, I think. Or at least explain, you know, why everyone around you is losing their minds all the time. My name is Ryan Broderick. I write a newsletter called Garbage Day, and I have a new podcast called Panic World. We break down how the internet warps our mind, our culture, and eventually reality.
0:23.8	You can find Panic World on all apps, and we're going to try our best to give you the answers to
0:28.4	the questions you wish you didn't need to ask.
0:31.6	Hey there, it's your host, Ed Helms, here.
0:34.4	Real quick, before we dive into this episode, I wanted to remind you that my brand

1:30.4	and dates, or just click the link in the show notes. That'll work too. Okay, that's it. On with the
1:36.5	chaos. This is Snafu Season 3, Formula 6. Last time on Snapoo, double-otin two-gun heart became a prohibition enforcement agent.
1:49.8	If he couldn't use his gun, he would use his fist to apprehend these criminals and bootleggers.
