This week on the podcast, Thanksgiving is over but Cory's family was in town to meet the baby, and Rob got his own bundle of joy in the way of a PS5. On to the news, which is all bad news this week. The Omicron variant is raising levels of concern before we have the full picture. In the courts we have the Ghislaine Maxwell Trial and the verdict in the case of the murder of Ahmaud Arbury. Finally in Sportsball the Ravens are some how on top of the AFC and the city of St. Louis gets a big payday from the NFL.

This week on the podcast, It's Thanksgiving week which of course means the Christmas people are showing up early and trying to ruin it. In a follow up to last week, we talk about the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, as well as the near end of the Killing of Ahmaud Arbury and the Unite the Right civil trial. We close up with a talk about Covid Boosters and Carlos Correa being the worst person to bring up the deservedness of awards.

We then go straight to the courts where Kyle Rittinghouse, the Ahmaud Arbery murder case, and the civil case in Charlottesville are all over the news. In other stories, we discuss IATSE narrowly passing a new 3 year agreement, infrastructure is signed into law, Travis Scott picked an unbelievable person to be the public face of a crisis, and Britney is officially free.

This week on the podcast, Cory's daughter Casey was born this weekend, and in this special prerecorded episode the guys share their thoughts on her arrival. We talk about our childhoods, and what Cory hopes to do for his daughter. Think of it like a time capsule for his daughter to remember the time right before she joined him.

This week on the podcast, Rob is participating in No Shave November (link down below!). We also look at the state of Covid, with Jen Psaki testing positive and the death rates remaining high around the nation. In politics it looks like we could be getting closer to a vote on the Build Back Better agenda, while Biden meets with the Pope before going on to Scotland to discuss climate change, and how Gen Z is over it and how that may be a precursor for things to come. We close on Sportsball; Cory hasn't watched a minute of the World Series and he pisses off Astros fans with a heavy dose of the truth.

This week on the podcast, we start with confirmation from last week that Brian Laundrie's body was found in Florida before talking about the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. Cory talks about his own experience with guns on set, before a broader conversation about crew safety, and how it might run along the current IATSE negotiations. In the latest Political news, Biden hits his lowest approval rating of his Presidency, Build Back Better is falling apart, and Members of Congress had dozens of meetings with Stop the Steal organizers prior to January 6th.

This week on the podcast, we discuss the death of Colin Powell and the complicated legacy he had left behind. We also talk about the far-left swing from Pope Francis that is a refreshing change of pace from the Catholic Church of old. We also discuss the latest with IATSE and other related labor strikes from around the country. In Covid news, J&J expected to get a booster it probably needed from the beginning. Finally in politics we talk about the Supreme Court, Trump suing the National Archive like someone with nothing to hide would do, and the theater of sourcing in the age of cable news.

This week on the podcast, we start in Sportsball where the Ravens have a huge comeback win over the Colts on Monday Night Football, and Jon Gruden e-mails leak which show a long history of racism, sexism, and homophobia. We ask when we can expect to see more e-mails from other higher ups in the league, and wonder if we will see Kyrie Irving at all this season after NYC keeps him from playing any home games until he gets vaccinated, at a cost to him of $380,000 a game. After that we get into the news of January 6th subpoenas, the cause of death is announced in the Gabby Petito case, and is Southwest Airlines going to the unvaccinated airline?

This week on the podcast, Facebook's outage is the least of their problems as a whistleblower has exposed internal conversations that detail facebook's knowledge of how troublesome their product is. We also get into the Pandora Papers, the IATSE strike authorization, the oil spill off the coast of Southern California, the Supreme Court heads into a new session, and when it comes to covid, Florida gonna Florida.
