Thinking Hardly

The Middle East burns and fear sucks

Late Night News This Morning takes shots at Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Trump, capitalist money grubbers, and the Chinese government. Plus, the boys battle it out in the weekly quiz.

Defunding the police ain't as crazy as it sounds. A Nashville preacher protests a bit too much. UFOs aren't BS. Plus, our new "Late Night News This Morning" segment and the brain battle that is our weekly quiz.

Maybe nothing will really change until everything *really* changes? Plus late night news jokes, and the ever-popular weekly quiz.

The boys took the weekend off but the robots have selected a few songs for your listening pleasure. The humans will be back and back in the saddle in just a few days... see y'all soon!

This week, we introduce a new segment that does for news and humor what Reese's Peanut Butter Cups does for peanut butter and chocolate, but without the peanut butter or chocolate, and without the fame or fortune. Plus, another round of "Mmmmmm... That Tastes a Little Gamey!" Don't fail to forget to remember not to listen!

We beef a bit about the shortage of graphics cards and then slide into the weekly quiz. Plus, a comparison of James Bond's Vesper martini and Bob's very own Quarantini. Give it a sip.

The boys ponder nature vs. nurture when it comes to making conversation, consider what can be learned from shutting up, and argue that Cuomo should resign *precisely* because he thinks he's innocent, and prognosticate about the future for creators of digital content. And, as always, the boys battle it out in the weekly quiz.

A watered down American Rescue Plan. The likely demise of the For The People Act. All of this could have been avoided had Senate Democrats nuked the filibuster rule. Now that they are in power, the Democrats refusal to wield it shines a bright light on their true colors. Bobby speculates that seeing the two parties as polarized along an ideological spectrum no longer makes sense, and that a better frame for understanding is that of branded cartels. Depressing stuff, but there's always the weekly quiz to cleanse our palates.

The boys argue - convincingly, I think - that Democrats are sparing Biden from exactly the same critiques leveled at Trump. We also check in on Trump Jr's Open Mic Night stand-up set at CPAC, reflect on Josh Hawley's fundamental misfire in front of the Trumpsters, and revel in the weekly quiz.
