1. Jefferey Epstein, the most horrible person on the planet, has exposed the hypocrisy of the left.

2. Association bans hotel interviews to protect women. But ... what's the deal? And how does this relate to the Pence rule?

3. Sour beers. What's the deal? Who wants to drink a sour beer?

4. Pigweed hates the Hare Krishnas.

5. On motorcycle trips, Pigweed and his brother stay off the interstates. They used to use maps, but now they use Google maps. It makes for a very different experience.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to know if the strangers you meet in the course of your day are trustworthy or not?

The Chinese government recently enacted a "social credit" system that scores all their people according to how they behave. They get demerits for some actions and credits for others.

We'd like to think we're above such invasive programs, but we have the same things -- they're just run by Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

Some people say our ancestors were better off when they were hunter-gatherers. So what made them settle down? The answer might be ... beer. 

Settling down came with a lot of down sides. Plagues. Waste. Poor nutrition. Why did they go for that? Maybe it was beer! Maybe humans took up agriculture so they could have the infrastructure necessary to grow barley and ferment large quantities of beer. This is a genuine theory from professional anthropologists!

The boys talk about Thorium power, but before they get into that, they try "Sour Me," a peach sherbet, sour beer from DuClaw. 

A few years ago, everybody was all excited about Thorium energy. It's abundant, safe, you can't make bombs out of it. So what's the problem? Why aren't we investing in Thorium power? 

The boys discuss nuclear energy in general, Thorium power, and why this is a better path than solar or "renewable" energies.

It's summer time, and that means movie blockbusters. But many of them are repeats of previous shows, or movie versions of shows from the 70s and 80s. What's going on here? Has Hollywood lost its creativity? 

Pigweed and Crowhill review the movie landscape and discuss the demise of Hollywood while they drink and discuss Pigweed's Colonial Ale.

The boys say one nice thing about each of the Democratic candidates for president, after lubricating the mind mushroom with some "Regular Beer" from DuClaw. 

In this episode they discuss ... 

Inslee

Klobuchar

Messam

Moulton

O'Rourke

Ryan

Sanders

Sestak

Warren

Williamson

Yang

The boys try their best to say something positive about all the Democratic candidates for president. To make that possible, they have to lubricate the brain tissues with Swishy Socks, an IPA from Burley Oak Brewing Company. 

In this episode they comment on ... 

Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Corey Booker, Steve Bullock, Pete Buttigieg, Bill de Blasio, Julian Castro, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mike Gravel, Kamala Harris and John Hickenlooper.

Can atheists pray? Why would they? 

Crowhill takes a stab at the straw men definitions some atheists use about faith, e.g., "faith is believing against evidence." Which is nonsense.

The boys also take a stab at Jordan Peterson's somewhat lame attempt to avoid the question of whether he not he believes in God.

Then they get into some actual examples of self-professed atheists who claim to pray, and they try to explain why that might make sense.

The boys both recently saw Gran Torino, and marveled at all the interesting themes in the movie. But before they dig into that, they moisten the brain tissues with Lagunitas Equinox, "a genuine pale oat ale." Of course it's delicious (it's Lagunitas), but P&C didn't quite get the point of the oats.

What is the default men's boot? Western boot, hiking boot, work boot, dress boot, harness boot, snow boots? Are boots pretentious when someone wears them for fashion? Then there's boots on women!

That leads to a discussion of consumerism in general. Should we buy quality stuff and care for it, or should we buy a bunch of temporary cheap stuff? Are we wedded to an economy that requires us to keep buying stuff?
