Caleb and Isaac are back in the bar enjoying some casual conversation, but this time they offer something different than their usual episodes. Isaac has been pondering the differences between the terms Conservation, Preservation, and Conservatism. This leads to a broader conversation involving video games, pandas, Indigenous history in Canada, and even Jurassic Park: The Lost World. This episode won't be for everyone, so if this doesn't sound interesting to you, check one of the other 154 bonus episodes currently on the feed.
