In this episode, we're joined by Stewart Reynolds, better known as Brittlestar, Canada's beloved "Internet's Favourite Dad" and a viral comedian who's now turned author. His new book, Lessons From Cats for Surviving Fascism, is part satire, part self-help, and part political commentary, with an important underlying message: pay attention to how history repeats itself... but do so with claws out and humor intact. Blending the aloof wisdom of cats with the warning signs of creeping authoritarianism, Brittlestar delivers a funny yet sobering look at how ordinary people can resist control, misinformation, and the slow erosion of truth, all while refusing to give up their independence or nap time. We dive into how comedy can be a weapon of resistance, what we can learn from the behaviors of our feline friends, and why the threat of fascism isn't just in the past, it's at the door. This is an episode that will make you laugh, think, and maybe even reevaluate your cat's suspicious behavior.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
