8MinutesOnHighPodcast

Welcome back to the silliest stupidest topical political podcast on record.   We've been away but we're back.  Back with a review of Maqz' predictions for 2013 - (At least he did better than Sylvia Browne).  And we're back with some news and commentary about the Crimean Peninsula, celebrities and sports.

Now what could be more grown up than that!

Why is it that international leaders are always hugging Angela Merkel?
Ever seen Trainspotting?  Lincoln?  Orange is the New Black?  In this episode Maqz and Zach cover binge watching television, movies and Healthcare.gov.  One of these things is not like the other.
Plus we include a special feature today.  Much editing is done on the podcast but some of the preliminary chatter was so much fun, that we threw it in there before the show started.
Think of it as a bonus!

Sports begins our episode 31.  A couple of classic and classy baseball players retire.

The NSA gets to hear more about the Affordable Care Act than they'd probably prefer.   Maqz takes a non-sequitorial turn about his favorite over-hyped politician and Zach reigns him in.

Wait till you hear the kinds of questions that African Americans had to deal with on literacy tests as recently as the 1960's.   Then you'll understand our guys outrage over these attempts at voter suppression.

Tea anyone?

In a change of pace Zach and Maqz examine the international politics of the middle east, President Obama's political wavering and his surprising relationship with Vlad the Putin, as well as the Colorado recall, Article I of the US Constitution, NFL predictions, NYC politics and Voyager.

 

And for an aperitif we finish with just a taste of literature.  All in all, a gourmet podcast.

Listen here.

Raw and unedited (mostly) Episode 029 will stand the test of time as Zach and Maqz reflect on 50 years ago this week, on fracking, and on epic fails.  No one knows what America's approach to Syria will produce, but Maqz and Zach take a crack at it anyway.

With a bit of time perspective, Zach and Maqz discuss the Trayvon Martin case, Edward Snowden and Alex Rodriguez.  Only in this podcast can you get quite so eclectic a blend of subject matter.  Throw in a smattering of vulgarity, irreverence and respect, add a dose of amateur economics, the Patriot Act, and the sequester and you've got a tasty bit of conversation that will either improve your mood or raise your blood pressure.

Too much to talk about, especially if you like sports and spys and things that really do go wrong. In today's episode Zach and Maqz ask the popular questions is Snowden a hero or a traitor and how many times to you get to throw at somebody before you bean him? Who's bigger Mark McGuire or Kirk Gibson?

This picture of Kate Beckinsale has nothing to do with today's episode.  We needed a picture for the post and ... well ... this seemed like a good one.

Meanwhile, today the boys take a closer look at an important speech by Kate Benkinsa ... Barack Obama while listening for cicadas.  The conversation floats through drones and immigration and around the Boy Scouts and Kate Beck ... no, no ... wait, no ..., and Bill and Ted and Ron Paul goes to the UN!

LGBT issues are discussed and Maqz wonders if they can get a few more letters in there.   Scandals and ... and structurally deficient bridges and ... whooo ...

Well we've certainly had a lot to talk about since last we left our heroes.    The economy has gotten better, the Senate is working on a sane immigration policy, the president has declared an end to the war on "terror" whatever that ever meant anyway ... uh ... wait, that's next week's show.   This week we have SCANDAL!

Leaks, investigations into terrorism and the IRS has a tea party.  Oh boy, we're going to have fun this week!

Let's not talk about Syria and student loans.  Let's see if we can attach a problem in the IRS to President Obama.  You know, he was born in Kenya and that's Africa and that's Libya and ... well you get it.

Zach and Maqz return to their

childhoods this week. Sports and geography are the main subjects.  Baseball, football, hockey and fighting fit perfectly well with the

childish behavior of some North Korean leaders.

Together the boys take an extensive

trip around both the sporting and real worlds and including a drift into space. Along the way we find

out what “chained-CPI” really means and we get to keep our

scholarhips all while not using our children to sell Chevrolets.

Edgemakateme!

Ancient map of the area. Including iFat (yep), where it is, and Aksum (no kidding) where it isn't.
