How Many NATIONAL ANTHEMS Should There Be? | Hn 53

It's the question of our times! How many national anthems should exist and be played before football and baseball games? Adam and Tyrone are on the case with brilliant (and hilarious) analysis.

00:00 – Intro. Football season is back! To honor the return of sportsball, Adam and Tyrone revisit a Haman Nature Substack article about the subject from last February.
04:36 -- Grumpy Old Adam explains why he doesn't watch football anymore. Covid and it's stupidity is revisited. Also, Adam says something insane to generate hate mail!
08:52 – So, what should it mean for something to be a "national anthem"? Does it make sense to have more than one? Is a Black National Anthem a non-sequitur? Should we have more? And what's with football games being recruiting tools for the military?
13:09 – Patriotism. It's ingrained in us from a very young age. Is it good? Bad? Inevitable? Tyrone brings up an interesting point: Perhaps the Black National Anthem is a harbinger of a more decentralized (and perhaps more libertarian) future.
17:20 -- Tyrone advances a theory that corporations don't care about this identitarian nonsense and only care about the bottom line. Adam advances an alternate theory on how to understand the behavior of corporate actors.
22:03 -- Tyrone has had enough of Adam's curmudgeonly behavior and deliver's the true message of this episode: "Go Vikings!" Also, Tyrone shows a counter-intuitive example of how to make the game of football safer. Adam does the same for cars.
27:12 -- Outro.
