Thinking Hardly

The boys took the day off, but the robots never rest. Here's a special message from their so-called hearts to yours.

The boys slam Biden for wimping out on the $15 federal minimum wage. Dad loses his schnitt after MTG claims that being forgiven is "what Christianity is all about." Fortunately, the weekly quiz works its magic, and we're all zen-like by the time it's over.YOU CAN WIN $100 for the charity of your choice. Next week, we'll pit the boys against one another in a donation battle. For a chance to get your favorite not-for-profit some sweet cheddar, send us an email at [email protected].

Is the GameStop upheaval a mini-revolt against "The Man"? Or is it a stark reminder that stock prices are more about perceptions rather than reality? In general, are perceptions more real than reality? And if we were aware enough to look at reality head-on, would we give up hope? Will dad have a martini tonight? Plus more of "Mmmmm... That Tastes a Little Gamey" quiz. It's something you want to be sure to not to forget to miss.

The majority of Americans dislike the word "socialism" but even a larger majority support programs associated with the left. The boys kick around why this is happening, and yammer on about who will control the soul of the Republican party. It's also time for another round of "Mmmm... That Tastes Gamey!"

Is it such a bright idea to have the FBI vet thousands of National Guard troops in advance of the inauguration? In this quick episode, father and son ponder the implications the night before the big event.

This week, the boys get into a tiff-spat with their Daddy-O about the size of Biden-Harris rescue checks and what that means for the road ahead. We take a listen to caught red-handed insurrectionists channel their inner Trump to shirk responsibility and fret over their jobs, and our team of crack robot reporters investigate the masculinity that is Trump. Plus, another round of the weekly "Mmmmm... That Tastes a Little Gamey" quiz! (Note: in next week's quiz, the boys will compete on behalf of two lucky podcast listeners for a prize! Send a note to [email protected] if you want one of the boys to play on your behalf!)

In light of the attack on the Capitol and Trump's ham-fisted attempt to shake down Georgia election officials, the boys take a guess about the chances of impeachment and conviction, and argue a bit about whether any of it will make a meaningful difference.

And just when we thought Trump interferring with Georgia election officials was going to be the high/low light of the week. We try to wrap our minds around the mass impromptu unguided tour of the Capitol, take a bit of refuge in Melania's world, and dig into the "Mmmmm... That Tastes a Little Gamey" weekly quiz.

Join us as we explore the concentric circles of contemporary political fantasy! We take the Josh Hawley on-ramp, and soon find ourselves in the cray cray mix of fanatical politics and religion that is Lin Wood. Then the boys battle it out in the weekly quiz, and we pay our respects to MF DOOM.

The humans take a break and the robots take over.
