I got triggered today over my fear and fascination with hurricanes. Irma finally has my attention because they mentioned that only Allen was a stronger storm in the Atlantic. Allen was the first hurricane of several that I've gone through, and Allen was more than enough. Also, a special word of encouragement to a friend who's in South Florida right now.

Roley talks to Tiger Mom Hanna Weatherington, who was very distraught about what happened to her boys on the first day of school.

Roley waxes today about being at the tail end of raising kids, What’s Irma doing in the Caribbean, and Trump possibly ending DACA today. That lead to a sidebar about Roley growing up in the 1980s, and remembering that as a pretty awesome time to be American. In fact, most of the presidents since then gave you some kind of good feeling that things were going to be ok. Roley isn’t feeling that right now, and that worries him.

Today, I talk about something that intrigues me and horrifies me at the same time: Everyday Carry.

No news today, no happenings, just a story about a wonderful car.

Karaoke Post-Mortem, Houston and our need for a healer-in-chief at times, and Terry Pratchett’s final wish.

A story about how Kris found personal happiness through finally not caring what people think, not being afraid to make an ass out of himself, and copious amounts of karaoke.

I suppose the alcohol is implied when we say 'karaoke' right?

On this episode, we talk about the roasting that Joel Osteen is getting right now for not opening his megachurch to Houston flood victims, then we go up a couple levels and talk about the lie of prosperity gospel as a whole.

30 Minutes, without a net. Also, I brought some old friends. Al, Bubba, and Ellie are back.

We talk about the reason I'm starting to do a Monday through Friday Show, which goes off the rails right off the bat.

Also, we talk about the giant bag of wind in the room. If you're affected by Hurricane Harvey, we're thinking of you today. Stay High and Dry, friends.
