With Ron away, Charles and Patrick are visited by Andy from ALAB, You're On Your Own and Mic Dicta and proceed to lay down the law. Topics include: tattletales, ancient judges, and people who are so stupid it defies common human logic. We also gawk at a cavalcade of poorly-behaved freaks and read from the Book of Grudges.

Week 4 of No Homework is here and with it a new guest. You probably know Anthony Atamanuik as the A+ Trump impersonation from The President Show or next-door-neighbor Sean on What We Do in the Shadows but Charles knows Tony as his poker buddy. Tony joins Charles and Ron to talk about workplace hardly-romance and some tangents into male loneliness, conspiracy and where they intersect. Patrick had better things to do.

Tony's RFK Jr. comedy podcast "Good Science" with Gil Ozeri launches on June 2. You can watch the preview episode at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYpcHG-S2Pg. He's also rebooting his Twitch stream, Coffee With Tony Live! on Wednesdays at noon, starting May 6. https://www.twitch.tv/coffeewithtony/.
