Captain Tracy, You're the Problem
In our most chaotic (and somehow also deepest?) episode yet, we celebrate Mike Allen’s birthday while unraveling the character of Captain Tracy — war vet, space trucker, wannabe legend. Does he deserve to be the protagonist of The Economy of Nothing? Or is he just the loudest guy in the room? Along the way, we debate birthdays, bathroom logic, what a protagonist actually is, and the cosmic importance of Waffle House. Also: Cheyenne’s new Codex page is live. And yes, she absolutely would weaponize her interns. 🔗 Check out the Codex: 💥 Join the rebellion: 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple: 📺 Watch the visual radio: 0:00 – Happy Birthday Mike Allen (??) 3:00 – Are Birthdays the Same as Handwashing? 6:30 – The Captain’s Bathroom Doctrine 10:00 – Who's the Protagonist Anyway? 16:00 – The Cheyenne Codex Page Breakdown 26:00 – The Robo-Human Wars and the Rise of the Nothing Corporation 33:00 – Everyone’s Wrong Until Something Works 42:00 – Katniss, Coin, and the Captain's Arc 52:00 – Mr. Green’s Chachki Collection and Personal Capitalism 59:00 – The Captain’s Flawed Need to Be Remembered 1:07:00 – The Intergalactic House Waffle's is Real 1:18:00 – The Rangers Deserve Better 1:24:00 – A Cozy Penguin Narrator? 1:30:00 – Final Thoughts, Saturn Blood, and Birthday Wrap-Up
