  • You and Ebenezer Scrooge (Wealth and Retirement)

    Jon, Mike, and Tom discuss whether retirement is a viable option. Is it reasonable for the average citizen to expect they will be able to retire, and if not, why? Jon’s been there for some years, Mike is shooting for it, and apparently Tom never will. Death is a certainty, but retirement isn’t.

  • Death Throws of Affirmative Action

    Supreme court poised to end Affirmative Action! Maybe,  it's complicated as much as the oral arguments were! Tom talks about dumb mathematicians, Hard vs Soft education, while Jon generally tried to keep him on topic, but fails in the end as Mike, Jon, and Tom close out the Episode with enlistment rates among South Koreans in the U.S. Army.

  • FIN

    bedibedipdebip That's all folks! and my last attempt at typing out Porky the Pigs classic line. Tom Jon and Mike are off to another season of random topics sprinkled with soul-crushing information like the end of the world, math, WW3, and many many more. This episode is a brief recap of season 2 followed by some meandering thoughts on the state of the world. Its so riveting you'd think your an I-beam. See you soon!

  • Monarchy! What is it good for?

    Mike is lost in the wilderness and having a hard time finding his way back home, so like good co-hosts we decide to do an episode without him.  Tom and Jon explore what monarchy would look like in the United States and weigh pros and cons of the institution. We also endeavored to do basic arithmetic and it goes terribly wrong.

  • Please Sir Can I Have Some More (Student Debt Bailout)

    Oh yea money for nothing baby! but wait its not enough! Its a bail out for the rich and an increase on taxes for the working class. Its doesn't go far enough...my loans are more then 20k. When forty percent of people who go to college and take out loans drop out, it really doesn't answer the underlying problems. Well luckily Tom, Jon, and Mike discuss the solutions to these problems and much more as the arm chair heroes we are.  Just kidding folks, but this could open up an opportunity for people to realize alternative modes to climb the social hierarchy other than college.
