The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Red Taped

This week two bearcats walk into a bar to wrestle with a green turtle and leave with bleeding eardrums— I am still not sure what Andy said during the past hour but I am sure it was heartfelt. We also get our hopes smashed by a panda, get needlessly nostalgic over forgotten sodas (Coke 2, Crystal Pepsi, Upper 10, and Super Mario Bros?) and find a politician who has mastered the F-bomb (Spoiler: Beto O' Rouke is a true cussing artist). Most importantly, Mark Manson teaches us The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by showing us how to give a f*ck?

We had to turn our explicit language warning to “11” for this one.

What do you think about this episode? Were the f*cks too few, too many or, just right? Let us know: [e-mail], https://twitter.com/RedTapedPodcast, or leave a review on iTunes.
