Lost or Profound

After taking a summer break, the guys realize their absence is slowly ruining the world. Derek mourns the loss of a friend, while Brian lambasts the DNC for the email shambles. They both try to comprehend how belief is greater than fact.

bullet The FBI is conducting approximately 70 full-field investigations throughout the US that it considers bin Laden-related (see August 6, 2001). CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our embassy in the UAE in May saying that a group or bin Laden supporters was in the US planning attacks with explosives (see May 16-17, 2001). [9/11 COMMISSION, 7/24/2004, PP. 223] In retrospect, the briefing is remarkable for the many warnings that apparently are not included (see for instance, from the summer of 2001 prior to August alone: May 2001, June 2001, June 12, 2001, June 19, 2001, Late Summer 2001, July 2001, July 16, 2001, Late July 2001, Late July 2001, Summer 2001, June 30-July 1, 2001, July 10, 2001, and Early August 2001). According to one account, after the PDB has been given to him, Bush tells the CIA briefer, "You've covered your ass now" (see August 6, 2001). Incredibly, the New York Times later reports that after being given the briefing, Bush "[breaks] off from work early and [spends] most of the day fishing." [NEW YORK TIMES, 5/25/2002] In 2002 and again in 2004, National Security Adviser Rice will incorrectly claim under oath that the briefing only contained historical information from 1998 and before (see May 16, 2002 and April 8, 2004).

The guys take a more serious tone, and discuss the Orlando massacre. No surprise, it becomes about guns very....very quickly.

The prodigal Keri returns, having read an article for one damn time... which unsurprisingly led to censorship. Derek has his mind blown with high school sex education, while Brian remembers the glories of book burnings past, and plans his next affront to decency. If this episode were a book, you'd toss it into the pile.

Things are heating up this election season, with Trump starting fights with every vagina he can find, and #BernieOrBust supporters showing the GOP aren't the only ones who are saying "Fuck the Establishment". Brian and Derek try to make sense of the madness, but can't handle the heat. Come on Pookie, let's burn this mother down!!

Dr. Kevin Glenn repeats his past mistake and joins us for another episode! Brian is upset that his nerdy movies aren't culturally accurate (plus the books were better), while Derek is worried about who is peeing next to him.....and HOW! Join us for a slippery escapade!

The guys and Keri jam out to Model Kaos with guest host Peter Roy, who has a thing or two to say about Syrian refugees. Spoiler alert: he's against them. Finally, a contrarian opinion!

Brian has a list of 3 hot-n-tasty topics written on a box. Politics! Apple vs. FBI! #BlackLivesMatter! Hillary's Email Scandal! Police Body Cams! Derek describes his beloved "Dora the Explorer" sitcom. Both guys realize they're heroes, having done nothing at all heroic because labels are fun. It's a triumphant triumvirate!

The guys get a lesson in critical thinking from Dr. Berney Wilkinson (Psychologist), who has serious concerns about their mental wellbeing. Brian learns that satire isn't always the best approach to making friends while Derek finds common ground with Hitler, and another guest host vows never to return. You’ll need a padded cell to recover from this episode.

Derek, Brian and Keri debate when it is appropriate to physically beat children or their parents. Flint Michigan has a pollution problem that can't be blamed on it's proximity to Detroit. Derek doesn't think the press are doing their jobs, and Keri quizzes the guys on Metallica or Taylor Swift lyrics. You'll be making your own brown water after listening to this one.

Vanilla ISIS have taken over a federal building in Oregon, while Derek and Brian desperately try to make as many jokes as possible at their expense. Chocolate Anuses are described in vivid detail, and a Trump rally song goes viral and virulent. If you need an earworm that is potentially treasonous, this is the episode for you!
