The Empire Strikes Back

The boys begin by kicking the tires on the relative merits of using marijuana and other drugs like alcohol or sugar. Next, Nate draws a comparison between stand-up comedy and the ministry of Jesus, insofar as both are about speaking the truths that that threaten power structures.

Then, Nate makes an elaborate Star Wars metaphor of history since the Protestant Reformation...with, of course, the inevitable economic bent.
