    Birth control has been around for a lot longer than you might think. Humans have been trying to figure out how to enjoy sex without the worry of having a baby for thousands of years.

Greg may have wished that Kevin and John's parents had used something 40-something years ago.

  • Maybe It's Time America Has Make Up Sex

    It's painfully obvious to all that we live in a divided country. Our two party political system has become so contentious that people are picking sides, digging in, and flipping the bird to the other side. Is it hopeless? Can we figure out a way to come together? Perhaps it's time to admit the Union didn't work and that it's time to break up. On this episode the crew attempts to answer the question: would we be better off if the United States split up?

  • I Need You to Sign This Waiver

    The Mormon faith is complicated and nuanced. And what better way to learn about it then from three liberal heathens? On this episode of HDI Greg teaches us about Mormonism. Can they really not drink alcohol? Spoiler alert: no, they can't. Clearly this is not the religion for us since Kevin drank a bottle of wine during the recording. Put on your favorite pair of magical underwear, crack a beer, and come be saved with us!

  • Talking to Kevin May Cause Swelling

    Ah, Spring. The snow is melting...birds are chirping...grass is growing...and the person sitting next to you on the bus has wads of Kleenex shoved up each nostril. Anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies knows that pain. On this episode of HDI we're talking about allergies, something Kevin knows all to well. We talk about hay fever, food allergies, and how John saved Greg's life once by administering Benadryl. (Spoiler alert: it wasn't orally.) Join us for our most congested episode yet.

On this episode of HDI John leads the crew in a rousing discussion about how it will all end. John thinks it's soon, Kevin thinks it's further out, and Greg doesn't care either way as long as he's the first to go.

  • Goats Are Now Worth Seven Chickens

    The media has been in our lives in a variety of forms for generations. It informs, educates, and even helps catch bad guys. Yes the media has a checkered past and a history of being dishonest. (Sorry, Fox News, lying to the public is another thing you didn't invent.) But it's certainly done more good than bad. It's a vital tool to Democracy. Don't believe us? Just ask someone in North Korea. Or better yet, listen to the latest episode and let John convince you!

  • Dirty Dances with Wolves

    On another special Covid-free quarantine episode Greg leads the crew in a chat about our furry friends. Not actual furries...social distancing prohibits furry gatherings. We're talking about dogs! Grab a treat and settle in for what we hope is a brief diversion from the current reality.
