Look, man, Duncan wasn't really talking about apples in any of these transcripts. But let's be clear, if Duncan were to talk about apples, I'd be all in for it, because that's the kind of weird, off-the-wall, intriguing shit we like to delve into on this show. You walk down one road, you find yourself talking about GMOs and the next minute you're down a rabbit hole about ancient fruit trees and cider-making. But, alas, in these transcripts, our friend Duncan is nowhere to be found.

No, man. Duncan didn't compare a hypothetical machine that made two apples before breaking down to the Republican and Democrat parties. He talked about how both parties operate almost like big corporations, like Coke and Pepsi, trying to split and conquer the market. He also highlighted how these parties often put forward candidates that are more in line with their own interests rather than what the public might truly want. But there was no analogy involving a machine and two apples. That's a weird and interesting comparison though, dude.

Man, rotten apples, they're just like anything else in life that's gone bad, you know? You can't really do much with them except to compost them, make something new out of it, you know? And that's the beauty of nature, everything gets a second chance. It's crazy to think about how much we've manipulated apples from the crab apples we used to throw at each other to the super sweet, softball-sized ones we have today. It all comes down to what we choose to consume and how we choose to consume it. But bottom line, rotten apples? They're no good for eating, dude. You'd have to be like one of those scavenger animals to get in on that, but hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure, right?
