The USA has been devastated by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma causing massive destruction and this episode explores scientific aspects of this radical weather as well as calming down some of the hysteria surrounding climate change. Travis and Alexander welcome new guest Joshua Ferguson. Josh hosts a podcast with our old friend Sean Cocca called The Hourly Struggle that focuses on local politics in California. He has also run for a local position so he has a lot of knowledge on this topic. Local politics are discussed as well as the recall of Josh Newman in CA. The 3 get into a debate about Samsung vs iPhone and a lot of the fine details that go into owning these products. Climate change is thoroughly broken down but not in a way most media outlets do. There are plenty of alternative theories backed by facts that breakdown why all of this is probably more normal than it seems.
