Living legend Dan Soder joins us to talk about Mike's birthday, Cormac McCarthy, the Geico Lizard's b***h wife, flying off the handle, and different strategies for managing your anger. 

Our good friend comedian Dan St. Germain joins us to talk about the bank not taking your money, grave robbing, catfish blackmail phone scams, Subway Jared, serial killers and a few other things.

On this week's episode the boys talk about our favorite art, the Arnolfini portrait, Piss Christ, Rembrandt, Picasso and Hannah Gadsby. 

The boys discuss weird fantasies, Al Pacino's c**, Target and Bud Light backlash, and the best way to survive a school shooting. 

It's a Sean led episode so we're talking about French President Charles De Gaulle (1890-1970) and how he survived a CIA backed coup in 1961. In this part 1 we give a bit of background information on the French colonization of Algeria and why De Gaulle's attempts to end that war made people angry enough to try to kill him 30 times. We also look at lessons JFK could have taken from De Gaulle that might've helped him to survive his own assassination. We finish with part 2 on the Patreon.

Most of the research for this episode comes from the Devil's Chessboard by David Talbot. The relevant chapters are excerpted here:

We discuss the life and times of comedians Mort Sahl (1927-2021) and Dick Gregory (1932-2017). Both were famous and successful stand up comics who gave up a lot of money and opportunities to pursue what they saw to be the truth of the Kennedy and MLK assassinations. We look at how their legacies have been largely marginalized and misrepresented. The conversation continues on our Patreon.

Just Mike and Scott today and yeah...we'll probably lose a third of our downloads because Sean isn't here. But we talked about LA, that lady in Utah who poisoned her husband and Scott's idea for a get rich quick scheme. 

Comedian Doug Smith of the new podcast "Jehovah Boy" joins us to discuss growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, fatherhood, and his story of subway heroism.

Note: There's some electrical interference on Mike's track for the first half that I tried to clean up.

Well everyone...that's it. Sean's marriage is officially in the toileter-ino. But to help our boy get back on the horse we spoke to podcaster and bona fide hot girl Lindsey Metselaar of the hit show We Met at Acme. 

Lindsey fills us in on dating app photos, first date conversation, conspiracy theories for women, and when to talk about the CIA. This was a great ep and maybe you just might learn something.
