The only show that tackles the biggest question facing all humanity… What is civilization? On Friday we’ll read your responses to that question.

Ed Kelly is a world renowned voice actor who specializes in Video Game characters, and we talk about what these games teach our children.

Things once free, now cost.. and once cost, now free. What comes to mind?

Andrew Rivers is on fire once again, and we celebrate one year since he joined the Podcast.

Does unemployment insurance make you lazy?

We’ve introduced a new rule on the show: Try not to sound like you learned everything from Memes. It’s harder than you think. If the Meme alarm goes off, we are required to go in depth about our feelings.

Lisa gets vaccinated, Bob makes an appointment, and Zip seems unconcerned like he’s procrastinating getting an oil change for his car!

We have a special guest who is a solid IT professional. Chuck Opperman works at Malware Bytes, and talks about how dangerous these cyberattacks really are, plus some great perspective on his time with Microsoft and Bill Gates.

Spike is going to school, excelling in every subject except one. And Joe finally gets his first Covid shot.

We interview one of rock’s great saxophone players, Deric Dyer (Tina Turner, Joe Cocker), and play what may be the catchiest song of the year. It’s a musical collaboration called “Hope”, by Perfect Strangers. It will lift your spirits… and after a few spins, it will play nonstop.

God Bless everyone!

You told us you wanted a longer show, that you enjoy Zip and Ed, and also want to hear more Spike and Joe. This one clocks in at just under 2 hours!

Ed’s doorman is hitting on his girlfriend, Zip has a right wing sister and they each think the other is brainwashed. This causes Spike and Ed to do dueling Dr Phil impressions.

Ed got his first shot today. It took hours. Bob went through hell signing Lisa up, and Joe is considering driving 100’s of miles for a vaccine.

Plus, there’s a new brand of pet food that cats and dogs go crazy over.

We read letters from listeners, who pull no punches about what they like and don’t like.

And Ted Cruz, who is just tap dancing on political landmines in real time.
