I love the lotus eaters.

They really need better sound engineers because their audio mix is unbearable. I think they’re another example of a group, and there are many podcasters who have done exactly the same thing, who ran out and bought the same audio gear as Rogan but without an engineer like Jamie to run it and as a result their audio sounds like shit and the guy on the right’s voice is actually painful to listen to.

And it is stupid because it could all be solved with a little bit of effort, and they probably already have all the right gear to do it.

Oh and Oxfam has been living on borrowed time ever since it was discovered that their local staff in Haiti were banging prostitutes.

What's the issue with the prostitute thing? Is prostitution illegal?

I think the “prostitutes” were the people they were supposed to be helping in Haiti, so they were just exploiting people who had suffered a natural disaster. It’s pretty grotty behaviour to be honest.

I guess that explains it. But still they make it such a big deal out of it it's weird.

Some of the girls were reported to be as young as 14, maybe even 12. So it's a fucking big deal. But even if they were all adult women, going into a disaster zone to distribute aid that you have emergency fundraised for. Then giving that aid to women in exchange for sex, is reprehensible.

it should have made this more clear
