Summary
In this 207th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode, we sort out the strange reaction to Bret’s recent appearance on Tucker Carlson. What do all mobs have in common? What are the differences between critique and competition? We also talk about fat: from butter to olive oil to canola oil, what should you fry in? Are saturated fats bad for you? What are the differences between mono- and poly- unsaturated fats? Does the food industry have it right about anything? Should we fight for the right to yellow margarine?

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast, live stream number 200 and something or other. |
| 0:17.0 | It is, it is, it is 200 and something. |
| 0:18.8 | It's hard to believe that it's 200 and something. |
| 0:20.8 | And it's 20-20 something. It is 20-20 something. I'm actually reasonably |
| 0:25.2 | competent it's 2024 and you know how I know that? No I do not because |
| 0:30.1 | shits especially bananas. Yeah, already. |
| 0:34.0 | And it's only just begun. |
| 0:35.0 | It is in the excellent phrase of my oldest and dearest friend looking to be a particularly |
| 0:39.7 | banana pants year. |
| 0:42.1 | Banana pants, that's better. Banana pants. That's better. |
| 0:43.0 | Banana Pants. Yeah, it's for a wider audience. |
| 0:46.0 | Yep. Yeah, so it is the 200 and something or other episode, |

| 0:58.0 | Yeah, all right. So if any of y'all out there have factors other than one and two hundred and seven we're up to find out about it. |
| 1:05.8 | Okay, so apparently not prime. |
| 1:08.7 | It just doesn't feel prime. |
| 1:09.7 | All right, that is a case of misinformation, an honest error. |
| 1:14.8 | I did not intend to mislead anybody, |
| 1:16.9 | and it was not a truth that I was using |
