By popular demand, Papa Cappo is back on Cross of Gold. This week, Chris joins the brothers to celebrate the life of his mother, their Grandma Joanie in the wake of her passing only weeks ago. They discuss her life from eating muskrat off the Klamath River to living in San Francisco in the late 60's to becoming a shrewd, if a bit abrasive, dealer of antique jewelry. Drawing lessons from her life, both good and bad, the family reflects on Grandma Joanie's impact on each of their lives and how they can strive to emulate her best examples.

"Alright, alright" I say as I finish my hashbrowns; covered and chunked like I've ordered them since the first grade. "You're telling me this company rooted in excessive consumption which self-mythologizes a sense of unity and common purpose between workers and then uses that mythology as a cover to hide their less-than-stellar labor practices is somehow a metaphor for America? I'm gonna need you to show your work on that one bud."

The brother chat with Brian Carroll, the 2020 Presidential Candidate for the American Solidarity Party. The ASP describes themselves as a party which seeks the common good, on common ground, through common sense. Combining faith with progressive policy, Brian and the ASP challenge much of what is conventionally believed about Christianity and about politics.

The brothers come together to discuss the historical context of the Israel/Palestine situation and to try to understand the other's viewpoint on the current crisis. A Christian Evangelical and a godless Commie talking Israel/Palestine, what could go wrong?

In this episode, the brothers tackle the sticky concept of U.S. foreign policy. Is the U.S. a caped avenger ready to take on the hooded villain? Or was the hooded villain the U.S. all along? Have superhero movies poisoned our ability to determine right from wrong?

Like a new pair of running shoes, you need to give a president 100 days to really get broken in before you know if they suit you. Also like a pair of running shoes, after 100 days you will notice that your new president stinks and cannot be returned.

As promised, the Brothers begin their discussion on Ecclesiastes, one of the "Wisdom Books" of the Bible. In classic fashion, Cyrus takes a philosophical approach while Chase has a more spiritual reading. Can they find commonality within their different frameworks?
