Just Smart Enough.

Rod, Rick and Mark just did their civic duty!  It's been too long (again), but here we are back at it to inform everyone on our thoughts on this current voting cycle, the debates, the Supreme Court hearings and those pesky little ballot propositions and navigating what they even mean.  If you have a hot take, or love or hate us and want to spend some of your newfound free time to let us know just how you feel, write to [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram!  And VOTE!

Rod, Rick and Mark are still alive!  It's been months since we could be in the same vicinity as each other with all this virus business (which we were so wrong about), so we catch up and discuss the past four months and the present in this episode.  The world is in shambles at the moment, so we do our best to try and make sense of our current day times.  If you have a hot take, or love or hate us and want to spend some of your newfound free time to let us know just how you feel, write to [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram!  

Rod, Rick and Mark discuss all things Corona virus in today's episode.  It's ever present in just about everyone's mind this month, and it just so happens that we recorded this before it really worked it's way into our current situation.  So there's some information, a good deal of entertainment, and levity to maybe give everyone something to laugh at while we're all bored at home.  And if you need something to vent your anger and frustration at, you can slam away on your keyboard and write into [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram about how very wrong we were 14 days ago when we recorded this.

Rod, Rick and Mark discuss all things taxes in today's episode.  Tax season is right around the corner, so we're here to catch you up on where your taxes go before you send in that check.  Or maybe you're lucky and overpaid to where you're getting some change back.  State, Federal or otherwise, we break down where it goes, where it should go, and the general ethics of taxes.  Let us know your thoughts on our discussion or what you're spending this year's return on by writing into [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram!

Rod, Rick, Mark and guest Mark the Second talk all things Star Wars!  From the original films we love, to the books in the expanded universe, through the controversial prequels all the way to ... well, the rest.  Games, toys, music, amusement parks, it seems the world of Star Wars has no limits.  And we all have a lot of thoughts about it.  Let us know your thoughts on our discussion or if Han shot first by writing into [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram!

Rod, Rick, Mark and guest Mark the Second have a shorter informative discussion over the process of impeachment.  Is our standing president a law breaker?  Is he abusing his power to gain political advantage over rivals?  Is he a joke?  Do any of those things deserve a removal from office?  Shenanigans ensue.  Let us know your thoughts on our discussion or commander in chief by writing into [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram!

Rod, Rick and Mark discuss the 2nd Amendment and the dangers of 'feeling lucky'.  What was the original intent when it was penned, how does it translate and apply to the world we live in today, and should anything change?  It's a divisive topic with a lot of different viewpoints and we do our best to represent them all from our own biased perspective.  We also answer the greatest question of all ; stabbed or shot?  Let us know your thoughts on our discussion and preference of being stabbed or shot by writing into [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram! 

Rod, Mark and (our second guest to appear on the show) Lance discuss all things First Amendment.  What was the original intent of the First Amendment, how is it being exercised today and should it be amended further given the platform of the wide world web that we now use today?  Unfortunately we had some slight sound annoyance in this episode due to either a wobbly object on our table or a mic boom, but it's not terrible.  Hopefully you can forgive us and write your thoughts on it, or us, to [email protected] or justsmartenough on Instagram!

After taking off most of the summer for work and vacation, Rod, Rick and Mark are back to discuss all things alien.  Are they real?  Have they visited us?  Are what we see experimental or military domestic craft, or possibly spiritual beings?  We get pretty out there this week!  As always, send questions and comments to justsmartenoughpodcast@gmail to be heard in our feedback episodes.

This week Rod, Rick, Mark and our first podcast guest Lindsay discuss the highly controversial subject of abortion.  When does an unborn child become an individual?  How can men shoulder more responsibility when it comes to unplanned pregnancy?  As always, send questions and comments to justsmartenoughpodcast@gmail to be heard in our feedback episodes.
