  • The Lonely Beard #3 - How to Respond to Experts Who Say Things That Sound Wrong

    It doesn't take much time on social media before you'll find someone reflexively ridiculing an expert who said something they disagree with on some political or ideological topic. Maybe we should not do that most of the time.

  • #5 - Belated Kavanaugh Talk, Serena Williams Cries Sexism, and Institutional Cover-Your-Ass-Ism

    Michael and Jason give the world's most belated take on the Kavanaugh debacle. This was recorded after the first sexual assault allegation came out, but before Christine Blasey Ford's name was released to the public. Both of us stand by everything we said.

    We also discuss Serena Williams' meltdown at the US Open final, the fatal shooting of Botham Jean in Dallas, systemic racism, and Colin Kaepernick.

  • The Lonely Beard #1 - Polarization, Worlds of Facts, and the Second American Civil War

    Ginger and the Beard, minus the Ginger. Trying out something new while Michael is gone on detachment doing Navy stuff, Jason discusses the separate worlds of facts inhabited by the political right and left wings, and thinks out loud about the possibility of a second American Civil War.

  • #4 - Our Sun the Hate Criminal, and Other Topics

    Michael and Jason discuss right-wing aversion to political dissent, shouting abortions, Kelly Marie Tran, and the relentless oppression of Michael's race (gingers) by the massive ball of gas at the center of our solar system.

    Note: this episode was uploaded late, so some of the topics are a little outdated as of the time of upload. But our first episode was uploaded more than 70 years after the fact, so we're getting better.
