In this episode of Thick & Thin, the lads discuss the dangers of driving in a car crash, and how to deal with them. They also discuss the power of authoritarianism, and why you should not buy into the lies the police tell us about the world and why we should not like them. And of course, there's a bit of political commentary at the end of the episode. Enjoy, and spread the word to your friends and family about this podcast!

00:06:53.000They actively despise you as an individual and they're aiming to crush you.
00:06:56.000The only limit on authoritarianism is the will of the police to enforce it.
00:07:02.000Look at Australia. If the police are stupid enough to completely enforce absolute tyranny, this is what the people in charge of the world want.
00:07:09.000In countries like Romania, they can't get away with it because the police won't do it to their fellow man.
00:07:16.000The only way you can combat things like this That is, in my experience, a strong network of individuals.
00:07:24.000Maybe you think you're so tough and you're a lone wolf and you can do it all by yourself and you can just hide in your computer or you can fucking go Rambo.
00:07:30.000Maybe. But me as an individual, I believe I need more powerful friends.
00:07:34.000I think the more powerful friends I have, the better I'm going to be in the future.
00:07:37.000So every morning I wake up and I'm sitting there thinking, If I need passports, who do I call?
00:12:29.000Why do I have to make you more nice shoes?
00:12:33.000Might have been more comfortable to walk around with some New Balance.
00:12:38.000Good evening. English people are so much nicer than Americans.
00:12:42.000Yeah, we dress better, though. Yeah, this isn't...
00:12:47.000To the American viewers, they do this.
00:12:51.000There's just people. If there was an American here, without instruction from his cousins, he'd be wearing New Balance sneakers and sweatpants.
00:12:58.000I would. They probably wouldn't let him in here.
