    This episode launches a new era of Staring at Goats with us welcoming TVsTravis into the fold as a permanent guest on the show! Travis is a fantastic podcaster in his own right, and adds a great third voice to our show.

    This week we talked about Thanksgiving, minks, and ranted and raved about mask wearing a bit more. Let's do it!

  • Lowdown on the Lockdown

    Having TVsTravis on the show is always a joy. He returned this week as  our remote Michigan correspondent to give us the lowdown on the new  lockdowns. Lowdown on the Lockdown...heh.  We had a good time on this show. We actually laughed frequently. It  might be that the plague is getting to us, or it could be that we're all  just so done with it that it's turned a corner into funny. Maybe it's  the vaccine. The good news is that  you are sure to enjoy this one. Have  fun!

  • Vaccinationalized

    Jacob and I didn't have a guest this week, but we had PLENTY of questions to answer. This week Pfizer announced that they have a vaccine that has shown 90% efficacy, setting off a lot of speculation as to when and where this pandemic might actually end. Jacob is here to level set some of our expectations and help us understand what this news really means to you and me. When can we expect it? What does 90% mean? How is distribution going to work?

    As always, we're here to try to clean up the science talk and get to the root of the story. Enjoy!

  • Game 6

    We didn't have a guest this week, so Jacob and I decided that it was a good week to walk back through the history of COVID a little bit. Where we've been, how far we've come, and where we haven't gained much ground at all. We also had some deep conversations on what kind of accountability really exists regarding this thing. Of course, we could go an episode without diving into a bunch of sports shenanigans! Jacob has feelings.

    Let's do this!

  • Dine Like the Mob w/ Patrick McGrady

    This week on the show we had sociology professor Patrick McGrady join us to chat about how life in quarantine is working for him! We get to dive in on how things are going in the Northeast US, how comfortable he feels out and about, and whether society as a whole is going to survive this thing and will it look the same when we come out the other side. Patrick was a fantastic guest and his positive outlook sure is refreshing among all the doom and gloom we're faced with daily. Enjoy the show!
