The Complete Disaster Podcast

TV news viewership is at record lows but their profits are at record highs. How is this possible? If we knew, we'd probably be doing it. Instead we're watching entire series of British TV shows, which takes us about 15 minutes. Then we spend the rest of our free time cooking burgers incorrectly.

Grandparents being involved in their grandkids' lives seems to be a generational and cultural thing. If your grandpa had such bad PTSD that he couldn't be trusted around kids, that's a bad indicator. On the other hand, in some cultures it's not unusual to put your parents in a suite on the third floor. Probably a lot of spending time with the kids in those households. The real difficulty is less spending time and more picking a name.

There's not so great news in the financial world, bad news over in the Middle East, and you're ten over par. What's to be done? How about some jokes? Apparently the "joke-o-phone" used to be a thing. Maybe we'll bring it back.

Remember when making fun of people for talking about Crossfit was all the rage? Not any more. It's been forgotten. Much like in a few years we'll all hopefully forget about companies dousing everything in pepper spray. If a nice pastrami sandwich doesn't have enough flavor for you, that's a "you" problem.

Legal quiz: what happens if you hit someone with your car while under the influence? The correct answer, as is always the case with law, is "it depends". In this case it apparently depends on how much the judge likes you. To be safe, we recommend not drunk driving at all. We don't even recommend drinking highly sugary coffee drinks, because spitting it out could impede your vision.
