Episode description

If you do one really bad thing, but a bunch of really good things, are you still a good person? How important is public perception to our individual ethical decisions? This week, Connor and Dan interrogate the idea of moral equilibrium in the case of corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff who reportedly gave millions to charity while swindling millions from a corrupt system. Towards the end their offer their solutions before (spoiler alert) giving up because they're tired and maybe drank too much. Enjoy!
