In This Episode: The Dudes Discuss Empathy, Accountability & The Effects They Have. They share their views on what they see out in the world, & on social media, where people seem to lack empathy & understanding. How some people are unable to see beyond performative acts & others don't realize they are contributing to an issue. How being held accountable does more for progress than outrage & "cancel culture".
