To lighten things up a bit, I bring in James Lileks to help me work through the Top 10 Dumbest Things Said This Week, a schtick we used to do together in various forms over the years during my Aftershow on the Hughniverse until I shuttered that to setup shop here at Duane's World. Now, he's back and wittier than ever.

All eyes were on Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing yesterday. Former Senator Jim Talent and I work our way through the tape and provide the analysis you may not have heard in regime media as they would love nothing more than to tank this nomination. 

Dr. David Rice is back to discuss how best to tackle goals in the new year, navigating parenting challenges in a post-COVID world, and the importance of instilling resilience in children.
