In which our mentor, Mr. Bones makes a guest appearance, and we continue last week's discussion of The Joy Of Evil ... Happy Hallowe'en! Also, we're diggin' the New York Subway, John Cleese, Simon Le Bon, and Happy National Black Cat Day!

A rousing discussion of the Wages of Sin ($7.25 per hour)! Buying New Orleans, doing The Monster Mash, and the power ... for good and ill ... of ideas. Howard Roark, Gail Wynand, and The Garden Of Eden.  Also, Trick or Treat & TreeRunners ... Happy Birthday, Robert!

The International Day of Failure! Risk tolerance versus defeatism. Falling down, and failing up. The pride of acknowledging failure, and leveraging the lessons learned when things don't work out, to achieve success. When good is good enough ... and when it's not. Also, M&M's, Yorkshire pudding, and Happy National No-Bra Day!

In which Robert & Amy discuss kindness. Benevolence. Generosity. Fun. These are a joy to exercise, and for good (and yes, rationally self-interested) reasons. Saving the world, one starfish at a time. Also, liberated Paris, instant ramen, the Loco-Motion, Sean Connery, New Orleans, Yes, and Happy Whiskey Sour Day!
