Armchair Globetrotters

In this Stone Cold Sober Episode we discuss some silliness and some seriousness.  We ponder what if certain events from history went a different direction?  We are looking at getting some merchandise available, so if you'd like to help us move that direction, please show us any support you can, whether it's a quarter and episode or a quick message with suggestions to improve or something for us to discuss.  Thanks for listening, we want all of our listeners to know that we appreciated them sincerely, including Ty's mom.

In this Stone Cold Sober episode Ty and Justin discuss the Civil War that almost erupted in Washington D.C., how we got here, who is to blame, and what we can do to prevent it from happening again going forward.

In this Booze-Fueled Banter Episode, Justin, Ty, and the Rocket Scientist Jesse discuss what is going on in this country right now, who is gearing up for a fight, and who do they think they will be fighting against and for what.  Amid the political unrest that is going on, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a historic event and not take a moment to consider what this fight is all about and who you'd be shooting at.  But we don't only pick the low-hanging fruit on this tree, we also delve into the depths of the philosophy behind politics and seek out some specific solutions to what is going on.  At the end of the day, all that is really happening is a few butt-hurt people are violently upset that they didn't win this election.  That's still no excuse to try and overthrow democracy and deny giving help to the needy.  Stop being racist!  Stop begrudging a little socialistic welfare to the poor, and let's try  to become the kind of country that we can be proud of, because we are ALL still citizens of the same country with equal rights.  And if you hate socialism, you'd better not cash your stimulus checks.

In this (believe it or not) Stone-Cold-Sober episode Justin and Ty discuss the 2nd Impeachment of Donald Trump and what that means for the country.  They also discuss how to prevent a Civil War, and restructure the government (like the constitution encourages us to do as needed) to prevent a dictatorship ever forming to overthrow this country.  Sorry to all you patriots who stormed the capitol, but you were storming OUR building, it belongs to ALL of us, as does this country.  Justin and Ty have a couple of ideas for how to make it more fair and equal, and in short, a more perfect union.

This Booze-Fueled Banter episode features Justin, Ty, and Jesse the Rocket Scientist discussing the history of the Whig Party in the mid-1800's, it's re-appearance in the early 2000's, and the reinvention of the Wig Party we'd like to see which is mostly about the one thing that can bring this country back together:  Powdered Wigs and Merkins!  If you can think of who would be the best future candidate to unite the country and counter the polarization of our political system, please let us know!  Justin is dying to find them, slap a merkin on them and make them the first presidential candidate for the Wig Party!  Don't know what a merkin is?  You will by the end of this episode that ran on way too long.

In this Booze-Fueled Banter Justin, Ty, and the Rocket Scientist Jesse discuss a few of the current happenings in the world, then delve into Traditions.  They discuss what they are, where they come from, why they are here, much like a parent explaining to a child about their unwanted great uncle.  Jesse joins Ty in the brotherhood of the minivan, a brotherhood steeped in traditions that we will just make up and attach significance to, because that's what most traditions are.  But not all traditions are bad, some are worth creating.

In this Stone-Cold-Sober episode Justin and Ty discuss the latest progress with the Covid situation, and go through the first amendment and specifically address who the rights belong to, and what is and is not protected under the first amendment.  You can say whatever you want to the government, but some things come with consequences, but you can't say whatever you want wherever you want.  The government doesn't include private property or privately owned businesses.  And don't worry, Biden the Catholic isn't going to shut down your churches or even make you go to church.

Join Justin, Ty, and Jesse again for another Booze-Fueled Banter episode about professional wrestling that gets derailed midway into a discussion about serial killers.  Enjoy the ride!  We sure did!

In this Stone-Cold-Sober episode, Justin and Ty get thoughtful about who the rest of the heroes of the essential workforce are (besides truck drivers) that have kept us going through the Covid Crisis.  They discuss the space race, advances in technology and medicine, and what lessons have been kept from days of yore. Finally they finish it out with a little more tribute to Professional Wrestlers that were discussed in our last episode.

Okay, so up front you should know that this Booze-Fueled-Banter episode is all over the place.  Best wishes to Jesse's lovely wife who contracted Covid recently, and Jesse better get his shit together or he'll be getting more hate mail and on-air castigations in time to come. But what can he expect when he's being an asshole?  We intended to focus on serial killers, but too much has been going on for us to keep focused.  You'll learn the fundamental differences between serial killers, mass murderers, contract killers, and spree killers, along with some of the warning signs that have been common between several serial killers.  So if your kid is torturing and killing dogs, maybe give that kid a little more positive attention and a little less abuse. Ty accidentally killed a horse, his truck, and almost himself this morning on his way home from a dairy he tests at.  And we finish the episode with discussing the plausibility of time travel and how it is connected to Einstein's theory of relativity.  We really are all over the place, but what do you expect when we're burning through the fuel of booze?!
