  • The Cost of Living
    In this Stone Cold Sober Episode, it might not actually feel all that sober as Justin and Ty discuss drugs and alcohol.  The meat of this episode is discussing minimum wage.  You'll be surprised to learn the origins of minimum wages, and how wages have been determined over the years.  Are there downsides to having a set minimum wage? We dig into it as we discover that the resurrection of the middle class may be directly tied to raising the minimum wage.

  • Electric Car Wreck
    This episode played out like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride if Mr. Toad was driving an Electric Car.  Justin, Ty, and Jesse the Rocket Scientist soak up some suds while discussing their favorite movies and television shows, and then discuss the history and future of cars, what will happen to internal combustion technology if electric vehicles take over, and Jesse gives us a good lesson in Nuclear Power. Enjoy this Booze-Fueled Banter.

  • Call it "Being Social"
    In this Stone-Cold-Sober episode Ty and Justin discuss the S-word.  We like society, we like socializing, we like using social media, but there is a great fear of socialism in this country until we want socialism... just call it anything else!

  • Celestial briefs full of crabs
    Our Second Episode Justin and Ty discuss the theory that Covid is over, which should be great news to all the people still dying daily.  Ty decides to form his own religion based on the fact that nobody actually knows what lies beyond the boundaries of the universe, and since it's so big, no one will ever disprove him until he's already gotten your money and your women, just like every other man who started a religion.  And speaking of religion, Ty expresses a little of his dissatisfaction with the religious mission he served.  Finally they discuss the monarchy and how a little madness could make royalty a bit more entertaining.  Please submit any topics for discussion to us. We are interested in anything our listeners have to say, even Ty's mom.

  • Don't Worry About Reparations, Doomsday Is Coming!
    It's been a while since we had a good recording due to technology issues, but our Armchair Globetrotters are back, and this time we have a mystery topic from Ty. After discussing Murder Among the Mormons, the shortcomings of our local postal workers, and finally debate the possibility of offering reparations and the way that's worked out for the Native Americans on reservations, THEN we finally get to discuss Ty's mystery topic: Doomsday Preppers. After seeing how the pandemic affected society last year, we can agree it's a good idea to keep some surplus supply of food and supplies on hand, but after playing out the doomsday scenario according to how the preppers and religious people see it going down, does it really make sense to hoard years' worth of supplies when you really need clean water and electricity to do anything? Justin and Jesse try to convert Ty to the fastest growing belief system in the country, and there is a spoiler alert about the Book of Eli in this episode. We are working out our technological problems to give you more quality content in the future.

  • Must All Planets be Spheres?
    In this Booze-Fueled Banter Episode the gang try out a new idea inspired by the podcast Smartless where 3 hosts interview a mystery guest.  Only problem is Justin, Ty, and Jesse don't know anyone to be interviewed, so they had Jesse pick a mystery topic that Justin and Ty don't know about until they discuss it, and the topic is the Flat Earth conspiracy theory.  The rocket scientist walks us through some of the various belief systems that support a flat earth theory, and discusses why they are all horse shit according to the laws of physics.

  • The Amendable Constitution 2nd Amendment
    In this Stone-Cold Sober episode, Justin and Ty discuss the instability of the American people, and the shortest, most misquoted, most misunderstood amendment in our series about the Amendable Constitution.  We find out that the freedom to have weapons for the purpose of defending one's life is not unique to America, nor did it originate here.  And according to its original intent, it isn't a free-for-all guarantee to possess whatever and however many weapons we want. And tragically, people who think they are exercising their rights often find out that they are really just bringing irresponsible tragedy upon themselves.

  • Memorial Day Exposes Ty's Poor Memory

    Is Memorial Day a useful holiday? Are any holidays really useful? If Memorial Day is anything about memories, Ty's memory fails the test.  Maybe it's because he was drunk, or maybe he's just purely ignorant of the classic music groups.  But we hope you enjoy this drunken shit show of booze-fueled banter!

  • Car Wars: Clash of the Tempest

    Ty, Justin, and Jesse are all back at it.  Ty is the referee, Justin loves the GTO, and Jesse loves the Mustang. But is Ty the referee or did he just get shamed into embarrassment because he voiced his opinion that he likes the boxy GM trucks of the 70's and 80's. One thing they can all agree on is that each of these Armchair Globetrotters owned and drove one of these trucks at one time in their lives. After that, the war rages on between Justin and Jesse about the GTO and the Mustang. Jesse had to leave before the ending, so Justin and Ty further discuss the ending of the Covid Pandemic, and what life will look like going forward.

  • Racist Buttplugs

    This episode Jesse shows up a little late, because he's working on a new business.  Ty introduces the subject tonight as he wants to talk about how much racism has been bothering him lately.
