Asinine Wisdom

In our final episode of 2020, we talk about the finest Christmas film of all: Christmas Vacation. Plus, we discuss Christmas traditions, our plans for the holidays, Christmases gone wrong, gifts we wish we had gotten as kids, and what we hope for the new year.

Thanks so much for listening this year, and we will see you in 2021! Have a happy holidays!

In the penultimate episode of 2020, the fellas talk about the most ridiculous ending to a football game they've ever seen from this past weekend, what they wish they'd have kept doing from their younger years, the trend of Christmas lights, instruments that have no place in certain genres of music, and things that are free that bring them joy.

On this week's episode, the fellas talk about the weird way maps are folded, the concept of a sitcom they once sold, how the British have mastered talk shows, ideas for a sequel to their Christmas short film, the new "stay at home order" in California, and video games that should be turned into movies.

In this episode, the fellas relive random childhood memories, discuss why the brain remembers random bits of data, talk about film and comedy as an art form, people that have transcended their profession to become something greater, and finally Daryl's shocking new side job.

It's the holiday season! The boys talk their favorite foods for Thanksgiving, when it's okay to start celebrating Christmas, traditions they love and miss from their childhoods, AND Jake gives a recipe for how to cook a perfect turkey! Enjoy and be thankful, Asininers!

You're probably already pretty sure what we're talking about in this episode, right? Yep! We're talking Election Day (Century) 2020! How it went, where it could go from here, and the work left to do.

Plus, we talk about Dave Chappelle and his monologue on SNL and we discuss the absolute legend we lost this weekend in Alex Trebek. What is "Rest in Peace?"

We cannot stress enough to you the importance of voting. That's why we talk about tomorrow's election throughout the entire podcast.

We get if you don't want to listen to that. You have that choice. But if you make that choice, please make the choice to vote as well. Don't mail in your ballot anymore. Take it to an official polling place or drop box.

If you DO decide to listen to the episode, we speculate WILDLY about what could possibly happen in Tuesday's election and in the aftermath.

In this episode, we guys talk about Daryl's new workouts and his... ahem, regularity. Also, Jake tells the story of getting food poisoning seven miles into the wilderness, and we're also joined by friend of the show Katie Elsaesser who explains her torrid past as a competitive jump roper. Yes, you read that correctly.

Plus... THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING. With the election next week, it's important you send your ballot in ASAP or, if you feel safe to do so, GO VOTE!

What a weird f***ing week... We talk about all of it. Or as much as we can, starting with what the world is talking about: Trump got COVID. What does that mean, what could really be going on? It's like a conspiracy theory happening before our very eyes! Except... it's... not a conspiracy?

Plus, we talk about if it's okay to joke about death or, more specifically, a particular person's death, and how we're holding up in the midst of the continued craziness.

On this Trigger Warning, Jake and Daryl talk Russian bots, roommates stealing food, how they would reform education, why they think participation trophies are bad, and the importance of perseverance.
