As yet unnamed

Recorded live in fan's secret hideaway in remotest Maine (well, Darius' part anyway), our heroes try to recap four lost months since we last recorded while trying not to collapse into giggles over Kevin McCarthy's repeated public humiliations. Good thing not much happened since August of 2022. 

We're back! Should we stop announcing that every time we go more than a couple weeks between episodes? What, and deprive our fan of the joyful news of our return? As usual, in our absence a ton of crazy stuff happened, so we catch up on the Kansas election, the Alex Jones trialtime oopsy-daisy, the DOJ progress against our home grown coup plotters, and more!

We try to catch up with the events of the past two weeks, in vain. We don't even mention the Jan 6 committee until :50 minutes in or so! But we try - talking SCROTUS v SCOTUS, imposter syndrome, and our increasingly tendency to use foul language. 

WE ARE BACK! With a valiant, if doomed effort to catch up on the last five months with lame dad jokes and general corniness. Maybe a little insight, but mostly dad jokes.

A mid workday convo about whether we are feeling optimistic about 2022 or we are drowning in hopeless despair...

We got the band back together for the first time in 2022, discuss the etiquette of wishing someone Happy New Year, and sort through the various hopes and wishes that we cling to in this perilous pre-midterm era... 

Part 2 of the marathon recording sesh - we were happy to be recording again! Oh, and we were so excited we didn't address the swirling rumors that the hiatus was actually caused by a falling out between Darius & Seb. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. 

(edit: I forgot to add the episode number at the beginning of the title because, as Darius points out, I've recently suffered trauma from this specific number)

...and we are BACK! Apologies for the longer-than-expected hiatus, life is complicated and all that. But the important thing is Darius & Seb have returned with their inimitable stylings on politics and current events and just general awesomeness. You are welcome. 

Refreshed from a late afternoon nap, our intrepid middle-aged duo take on current events with a renewed vigor and purpose! We talk select committee, Olympics, various unfairnesses and whether we remain optimistic or think democracy is in its end game. (Spoiler, we're hopeless optimists)

We're back after an unintended hiatus to reveal the new name of the patriarchy, BDE! In its bad space billionaire form and some of its good forms such as the Speaker of the House's jiujitsu moves unleashed on the GOP. We also talk about the arrest of Barrack (not the one the MAGA world wanted) and the usual deftly woven display of deep intelligence, effortless breezy wit and, of course, as always, our abiding humility in all things.
