The Complete Disaster Podcast

You answered, we listened. Today is the first show where most of the time is spent playing a game instead of reading headlines. And if you're a fan of people failing Name That Tune, this is the show for you. In our defense, we're actually pretty good at the trivia part.

Why don't they make movies like Gone With the Wind any more? And by that, I mean movies with intermissions. Is it because we can't smoke indoors? A nice cigarette or ten between scenes sounds like an old-timey way to make a four hour movie feel less like a chore. These days, though, it's all about vaping THC. Then you forget what happened in the first half, you can't understand the second half, and your whole afternoon was wasted. So maybe intermissions aren't such a good idea after all.

Kathryn isn't here, but the feminine touch endures thanks to Fawn. She also probably knows more about the Olympics than Kathryn does anyway. Apparently our female athletes are doing pretty well this year. They can jump, they can shove, and all the other various feats of strength required to be an athlete. Us, we're still waiting for podcasting to be an Olympic sport. Snubbed yet again this year.

This may sound strange to you, but $500,000 is a lot of money to some people. Not us, of course, but some people. That's why fewer and fewer people think that an ivy league education is worth it. And not just because that "education" seems mostly about hate and division. But a lot of it is that too.

They say all the world's a stage, and its people merely actors. That doesn't mean you can't necessarily choose your role. Have you ever wanted to be Mickey Mouse?
