Give Us the Launch Codes

The law doesn't matter. The rich always get their way. And Hollywood is about to get even smaller. The Paramount/Warner Bros. Skydance merger is going to happen after all and Travis is crashing out about it.

An Ivy League school has a most heinous scandal involving a most heinous crime... and now it's a culture war topic because that's America today. In a world that seems designed to sympathize with sex criminals, Tom & Travis choose to instead ask why sex criminals choose to not be better people.

We’ll take the launch codes, but we also have some thoughts on how to do sports! Travis & Tom take on the NFL, MLB, Olympics, Soccer, and much more. Put us in your office, Roger Goodell! We’re ready!

Tom is a fan of a lot of sports teams who have been bad lately - something a Dodger fan like Travis has difficulty relating to. What is that like?

This is what happens to our show when we need a vacation - a directionless drone on whatever is happening. Is this one of our worst episodes? Maybe. Don't worry, we're taking the month off. Hopefully, we're get it together afterwords.

So many food recalls. So many food-borne illnesses. Travis and Tom talk about how maybe having an anti-vax, alternative medicine wacko who once had a worm in his brain run the government's department that oversees food safety isn't the best idea.

Travis & Tom examine from their armchairs the state of the video game industry as consoles and games get more expensive, game memory files take up bigger chunks of our hard drives, and less games being made by major publishers, and the fact that games take too long to beat!

Chaos on the USS Lincoln (and probably the whole darn War Department)! Propagandists Struggle to Respond!

Tom & Travis bring up a funny Fox News segment with a Marine veteran with a funny name who makes funny analogies about hot dogs and IED explosives to outright shame Americans in uniform - which funnily enough accidentally implies that the whole military is poorly run. Yep, this is another war episode. We can't believe we're still talking about this s*** either!

The day we recorded this, it was Tater Tot's birthday. But you know who hasn't been a good, happy-birthday boy? Paramount Skydance and owner David Ellison, who's desperation in buying the Looney Toons studio for his Star Trek studio knows no bounds.

Tom made Travis watch a cop show that's been off the air for 13 years! What's so special about this show? Is it one of the best shows ever made as Tom says? Is there anything of value society can draw from it? What does 'The Pitt' even have to do with this (besides having the actor who plays Dr. Abbott)?
