  • #12 - The Blues and Multilingual Comedy

    Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte dive into fascinating topics yet again. What kind of video games are the best? Is Chris able to explain the joke that he came up with completely in Spanish? (Answer: yes) What is the least funny country? (Answer: inconclusive but the poll done on it was completely wrong) What is the proper way to pronounce "coupon". Graeson decided that his prior time commitments were more important and left in the middle of the show, leaving Chris with the job of keeping the show going. Now Chris has the podcasting blues. Luckily he takes advantage of this and plans to create a new blues album. One question still remains unanswered though: will Chris create a completely new podcast?

  • #11 - MMA and Brexit

    Host Chris Wright has to single-handedly host this episode because Graeson Korte was unable to make it because he was "busy". Chris goes into a whole lot of issues such as recent MMA news, and a couple of TV shows. Some news issues are covered including Belarus possible merging with Russia, Brexit, and the European. Out of fairness, he tried to show both sides of the issues. He also was required to delve into some historical context to explain some things. He now has a fish named "Lenny Bruce" after the foul-mouth comedian who was arrested for obscenity. This ties into a wild and crazy dream that he had the night before. School clubs are also covered as well as a myriad of other issues.

  • #10 - Cannibalism and Tattoos

    Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte once again bring on Michael House as a guest to help facilitate the show along and keep it running smoothly (well, smoothly for Point Counterpoint).  Please excuse some of the strange noises, there were some technical difficulties. Chris worked tirelessly to optimize the sound quality which was originally dreadful. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? What tattoos would they get? If they could rename any animal, which one and what would the new name be? Is cannibalism acceptable in dire circumstances and could murder charges be brought up? Space exploration and Scotland also somehow found their way into the situation yet again.

  • #9 - Christmas Special

    Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte are back at it for one last episode of 2018. Christmas is right around the corner as these two think back to the past glories of the show as well as look to the future with New Year's Resolutions. Chris intends to do some more stand-up in the future. They are also preparing for their remaining Finals with a heavy heart and a solemn mind. Also, do the Philadelphia Eagles have their name because Bald Eagles are America's National Bird and Philadelphia is the birthplace of American government, or is it just a coincidence? Graeson would be a heckler if he were at a comedy show. Chris recounts of the tales of his last appearance at a comedy club. Also, landlines and more trivial matters are discussed.

  • #5 - Hypnosis and Reincarnation

    Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte dive into many different topics. Jack Joa was not able to be a guest today, but he was there in spirit (texting throughout the show). Chris wants to be reincarnated as an intelligent dolphin while Graeson wants to be an eagle which is a scavenger that doesn't think twice about eating dead things. As usual, muting the mics is commonplace with loads of aggression. Is the Oedipus Complex a real phenomenon? Is Rugby superior to Baseball or American Football? These questions and more will be answered!

  • #4 - Artificial Intelligence and Elections.

    Co-hosts Chris Wright and Graeson Korte discuss some heavy topics this week. They cover a philosophical question about advanced artificial intelligence. Chris Wright failed once again in his gubernatorial campaign, only getting 2.7% of the votes (68,737 votes). Awkwardness comes about as more embarrassing situations come forth. The results are quite hilarious.
