BAES 174: Should we bring back Public Executions?

Ben Cahn (0:00)

I am pro-public execution.

Emil DeRosa (0:01)

Is that real?

Ben Cahn (0:02)

That is real. But there's a twist.

Emil DeRosa (0:04)

You're pro-public execution.

Ben Cahn (0:06)

There's a twist.

Emil DeRosa (0:07)

You're pro-public execution.

Ben Cahn (0:08)

Yeah, I will get to why I think that.

Emil DeRosa (0:12)

I am against condemning people to the death sentence. I'll just get that out of the way.

Ben Cahn (0:16)

I am too.

Emil DeRosa (0:17)

It is.

Ben Cahn (0:19)

That's why I said there's a twist.

Emil DeRosa (0:21)

I'm gonna kill you.

Ben Cahn (0:23)

I thought you just said the year against public execution, the year against condemning people to death.

Emil DeRosa (0:28)

I've never known this side of you. You've got a real...

Ben Cahn (0:30)

Knack for punishment?

Emil DeRosa (0:32)

Yeah, you have a real punitive...

Ben Cahn (0:36)

I really don't.

Emil DeRosa (0:37)

But just think about it in general. Do you think the repercussions are what keeps you from doing bad things? No. Do you think if there was no death penalty or whatever kind of consequences they think are deterrents, people are just killing all the time?

No. I don't think most people aren't killing because of some kind of...

Ben Cahn (1:00)

Or stopping because, man, I could go to prison.

Emil DeRosa (1:02)

I really want to kill that guy, but...

Ben Cahn (1:04)

Prison.

Ben Cahn (1:47)

I am pro public execution.

Emil DeRosa (1:49)

Is that real?

Ben Cahn (1:50)

That is real. But there's a twist.

Emil DeRosa (1:52)

You're pro public execution.

Ben Cahn (1:54)

There's a twist. You'll have to see the remaining part of the episode to your public.

Emil DeRosa (2:00)

Yeah.

Ben Cahn (2:01)

I will get to why I think that I've leaned toward. And I know that there are people in the comments who are probably going to be like, yeah, that's not surprising. Well, it isn't surprising. You'll be surprised by what I say.

So we're going to be going through.

Emil DeRosa (2:17)

I guess we are going to be debating it.

Ben Cahn (2:19)

I've got, I've got a lot of, I was, man, I was, I was balls deep in execution stuff. There's a lot of interest. I got some fun facts for you guys.

Emil DeRosa (2:28)

Balls deep in execution. Maybe I shouldn't. He says he was balls deep in execution stuff and he's come out pro public execution.

Ben Cahn (2:38)

I've got some trivia. I've got some history. I was on, So you're pro execution in general. Like I said, with a twist, you'll, you, you just have to, you have to understand what I'm getting at.
