July 06, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBWe observed the sacred Fourth of July, about 11,000 miles away from the Statue of Liberty, with libations and our fourth movie franchise marathon.

081 - JFK Was a Tucker Carlson Democrat
June 28, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 70 MBWe update some issues related to our last two Book Club episodes: one of the big players in the manufactured opioid epidemic is being awful (gasp) & JFK being hero worshipped out of devotion to pure liberal fantasia about who he really was.

June 18, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBWe begin the second iteration of the Heat Death of the Universe Book Club with the first of two discussions of Don DeLillo's 1988 landmark novel, Libra. Was Lee Harvey Oswald merely a dyslexic contrarian failson who wanted to dad-marry John Wayne, or did he hold deeper philosophical convictions and was his interior life more complex and compelling than it may've seemed in many lights? Just how deranged does one need to be to be a truly gung-ho CIA agent? Can enough research drive a person to...
077 - Another Week of Harm Reductionism
June 14, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 70.1 MBIt's been a hell of a week for Ol' Gaffes McGee. We power through an assortment of news articles showing how Uncle Grampy Biden was indeed the #1 Harm Reductionist of 2021, which he handily won in a landslide at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (watch out in the green room, kids!), and things got a little dicey when a glassy eyed Hunter grabbed the mic during the acceptance speech.
