Cajun takes the Captain's Chair and takes us on our fourth episode exploring the history of the United States westward expansion.

This time we go deep with perhaps the biggest reasons for why things happened as they did . . . technological innovations in the area of transportation.

Join the guys as they pick this one apart and discuss the western historical legacy and how it informs our world even today!

Andre takes command for the very first time and takes us all back to school.

Remembering "brevity is the soul of wit" (which Francis is notorious for constantly forgetting) the guys take rapid fire questions one after another about our favorite things and why  . . . in just a few sentences!

Hold on to your hats Otterites! Brother Andre is putting the boys through their paces!

Robert nearly gives Martin constipation with his choice of Clarence Darrow for this edition of Code of Honor.

\As usual, though, things work out splendidly as the guys discuss patriotism's specific approach to injustice, and whether Darrow was spot on  (or not) in calling out what he saw as a dangerous blindness.

Robert gets to play in his favorite sandbox as he leads us through a discussion of the current state of the once mighty Star Wars franchise, including how we got here, what we once (and still do) love so much, along with a heaping helping (naturally) of what we find bloody awful and deserving of our our eternal ire . . . 

Cajun captains the Brotherhood through an examination of a poignant speech by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce.

Cajun takes the guys through a discussion of culture clashes and human decency (or lack thereof) with a talk about the post-Civil War western expansion and its effects on the Native American Tribes. 

Cajun takes the big chair and discusses his experience at the Superstars Writing Seminar with the guys. 

The guys risk heading to gaol, as they used to say in Britain, to work through an Oscar Wilde quote. 

Another in our "great directors" series, the guys tackle the legacy of Francis Ford Coppola, of Godfather saga and Apocalypse Now fame.

Martin captains this episode and chooses a quote from C. S. Lewis for us to toss around for a while. It's a lively discussion and lots of back and forth about the meaning to us and Lewis.
