What is the fate of above-average individuals in declining small towns? How important is it to know one’s family history? How can we revive the parishes closing down all around us? How should men approach women in this cruel world? Auguste has a conversation with essayist and novelist Alan Schmidt to discuss these mysteries as well as Alan’s new book The Rhinelanders which covers these themes. Part of the solution seems to involve becoming a mix of Hank Hill, Mr. Darcey, and Daniel Day Lewis. Were any of our queries resolved? Not really, but we’re wiser now than we were before. If you want actual answers, go read Alan’s book.

So what should the everyman think about Iran? Auguste is primed and ready to trust the plan, but it’s difficult to say what that plan actually is. Meanwhile Adam has Iran fatigue, and Evan tries to take a cosmic yet somber view of the whole thing. Misgivings aside, both Auguste and Evan are generally supportive, but Adam is somewhat doubtful and wonders when the freedom loving Persians are going to arrive. The three also discuss Cuba, which somehow seems less controversial since a regime change over there does not involve oil or Israel. The conversation then moves to the (un)talented Mr. Talarico who will supposedly flip Texas blue. As Adam points out the Democrats’ hypocrisy on its treatment of Christianity, and Evan remarks the oddly ambiguous personal life of Talarico (is he gay?), Auguste notes how the Dems across the nation are launching a moderate normie offensive to win back the government. This conversation then leads to the passage of the SAVE Act, which all three doubt will pass due to the usual corruption and complacency of the Senate. Finally, the three discusses the Oscars, with Evan lamenting its demise and Adam hoping for a speedy end to the whole Hollywood era so that new voices can emerge. Auguste aims to continue his practice of ignoring the movies nominated and watch reruns of Babylon 5 instead.

Auguste speaks with the one and only Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale (a.k.a. the Raw Egg Nationalist) about his new book The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity which discusses the collapse of sperm count and testosterone level afflicting the modern world. The struggle this creates for men (and women) is indeed real, and it will take nothing less than muscular, high-T, high IQ thinkers like Auguste and Charles to ask the important questions about it. While Charles calls for more studies in this crisis and ponders the political implications of a low-T population, Auguste worries if changing diapers and watching Gilmore Girls will hurt his sperm count. The two cover a wide range of topics from the sexualized politics of South Korea, the current state of MAHA and the Manosphere, as well as an obscure African tribe that demonstrates what a true longhouse society looks like.

Happy Valentines Day! Auguste is joined by Evan and Dr. Adam Ellwanger (a.k.a. “The Love Doctor”) to diagnose the romance crisis in today’s world. Adam blames the internet which has made everything more awkward, Evan floats ideas of speed-dating for homeschoolers, and Auguste offers some lessons in talking to the opposite sex and recommends reading Pride and Prejudice. The three consider the old debate of whether the rise of lonely singles is the result of men being losers, women expecting too much, or both sexes simply not trying hard enough. They also consider if the rise of a diverse demography adds yet another hurdle for people finding their soulmate who shares their values, goals, and genetic preferences. Finally, the three discuss the Winter Olympics and certain opinionated athletes competing for Team USA. While Adam, a yankee from New York, waxes nostalgic about the games and gives everyone a pass, Auguste and Evan conclude that this all just a bunch of spoiled rich brats ready to party at the Olympic level, do their virtue signaling, and maybe win a medal.

In this episode, Auguste has a conversation with Dr. Carrie Gress about her new book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity and the challenge of rooting out secular feminism in the Catholic Church. Dr. Gress brings up the anti-Christian strains of first-wave feminism and how this has been carried on into the current feminist movement. She dispels the many myths surrounding the foundresses of feminism and explains why their beliefs don’t work under a truly Catholic Christian framework. For his part, Auguste at least tries to make a case for some of the early feminists, but soon folds and joins Gress’s camp. The two then consider an alternative vision of Christian womanhood and try to come up with a way forward for young women in today’s confusing culture. Did they eventually figure out what a woman was after all? Well, you’ll have to listen to this episode to find out.

The anti-ICE agitations continue with yet another shooting. Auguste has brought on Evan and Tony to discuss these new developments and better understand the situation. After the three Everymen share harrowing stories of being stuck in the snow, Tony, a resident in the Twin Cities and part Yeti, explains how things look like on the ground. Far from being a French Revolution erupting in the midwest, it is a relatively small conflagration between professional activists and border enforcers—something no one would even notice if the internet didn’t tell us about it. The three then discuss the current state of the pro-life movement, which seems rudderless after hiding behind Roe for half a century. Finally, Auguste recalls a great Simpsons episode (back when it was funny) that should give us all reason to be hopeful.

What caused Renee Good to do what she did? What will be the lasting impact of her death? What should the Trump administration do going forward? Are the normies being radicalized, or are the radicals being normalized? Auguste talks with Evan McClanahan and rhetoric professor Dr. Adam Ellwanger to analyze the current situation with the anti-ICE protests and what to learn from Renee Good’s demise. While Adam notes the ratcheting effect behind the left’s ongoing transgression of social and cultural boundaries, Auguste wonders if the popular image of the young idealistic male rebel fresh out of college should be revised to look like a bored middle-aged woman who consumes too much leftist slop on TikTok. Evan points out that Good’s lesbianism might have paved the way to her anti-ICE extremism and keeps up his streak of invoking his favorite dictator Nayib Bukele with regards to what American leaders should do about leftist violence. Finally, the trio considers the prominent themes that the anti-ICE movement seems to share with militant feminism and the possibility of an underlying romantic fetish driving some of this activity.

Auguste and Evan determine which memes do the best at defining today’s cultural moment and which ones should reign supreme in the meme hierarchy. In this episode, the heavy contenders like “Redpill,” “Based,” and “Wojack” enter the fray against winners of the first round. As the competition becomes fiercer, Auguste becomes ever more longwinded and Evan more undecided. The winner of this tournament ended up being a surprise for the two cousins most of all. Altogether, there is much learning to be had and leveling-up to be done. You too can now become a professional meme-ologist. And of course, Merry Christmas to all our listeners and readers!

Auguste and Evan come together to discuss the role of memes in today’s culture and which of them will stand the test of time. Using the recent meme-opedia of Dudley Newright, they match up the best memes in a bracketed tournament where each meme faces off with one another in three successive rounds. Applying the most rigorous scientific standards and bringing the full force of their knowledge of current affairs and internet culture to bear, Auguste and Evan will unlock the meaning and ultimate value of each meme. Hopefully, this discussion of online lexicography will help audiences learn what some of these terms and images are supposed to signify so that they too can appear cool, knowledgable, and oh-so-based.

Auguste brings back Senior Editor and film critic Tony Juarez to discuss a few recent movies and a few not-so-recent ones. They begin with an extended conversation of The Running Man with Glen Powell, a reboot of the sci-fi action flick in the 80s with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Even the proud Gen Xer Tony had some reservations about this movie, though he acknowledges the admirable attempt to stay true to the source material. For his part, Auguste has finally given up on Glen Powell and thinks he just can’t hack it as a leading man. They also talk about Good Boy, a horror film told from a dog’s perspective, and Sketch, a indie film that is well-done, family-friendly, and actually watchable. Finally, Auguste rants about the horrific AI-slop that is A Minecraft Movie yet gives praise to the progressively smug but surprisingly good American Fiction. Altogether this has been a weird, mostly bad year for movies, but neither man is ready to declare that the art form altogether dead. The last of the woke just needs to be cycled out.
