Pastor Joel Osteen was relentlessly attacked on social media after his Houston megachurch was not opened as a shelter during Hurricane Harvey.  Were the televangelist's actions really so reprehensible?  The answer is no, and the guys will tell you why.

Donald Trump's Twitter-initiated policy banning transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces has been frozen by the Secretary of Defense, General Jim Mattis.  Pat and Stu agree that this policy would not have benefitted our nation's military and that a film called "Bambo" needs to be in the works...

Stu really wants to go to North Korea. No really, he does. But he won't be able to plan his trip there anytime soon, as the country has continued to engage in aggressive maneuvers toward its neighbors.  The Kim regime has taken a major step up from shooting missiles into neutral waters, as they are now confirmed to have fired a missile into enemy airspace over Japan.
