Episode 125 – Ugly people

Andy and Roger are back with another uplifting dive into humanity’s darker corners. This week’s episode opens with a discussion about attractiveness and social advantage—sparked by a real-world conversation about discrimination against “ugly” people. From beauty privilege and dating dynamics to workplace bias and fatphobia, the pair examine the unspoken hierarchies that shape daily life, and ask whether it’s time to add “ugly” to the diversity charter.

They then respond to a listener’s critique of their earlier take on DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency), government spending, and Elon Musk’s role in it all. The conversation covers everything from bureaucratic inertia and public sector risk management to the myth of private sector superiority, asking whether Musk is a visionary or simply smashing things with a chainsaw. It’s an hour of philosophical drift with a few toilet seat references thrown in for good measure.
