On this week's episode of Twenty Somethings, Keith and Grant explore what it means to be toxically masculine. What behaviors shape a human to become toxic? Is it only men who's format becomes corrupted by the idea of what they "should be", or does this happen through all genders, religous sects, and types of people? Ridiculous Headlines this week:

Police Owe Nothing to Man Whose Home They Blew Up

Lindsay Lohan's Father Says Her Relationship to Saudi Crown Prince is "Platonic and Respectful" Domino's rolls out "Bubble Tea Pizza"

On this week's episode, Keith and Grant break down some discrepancies within the economic theory known as Universal Basic Income. This theory has gained a lot of traction as of late in the national media, due to the presence of an unlikely Presidential Candidate in Andrew Yang.

Are we able to pay for that? Won't people work less? Why should the rich get it? Why not just improve current welfare programs? All of these questions are covered in a great conversation centered around trying to improve the bottom line of society. The headlines were quite ridiculous this week. Among other things discussed, a Japanese hotel chain apologizes for allowing hackers to peep on guests through bedside robots, and you will go to jail for trick or treating at the age of 12 in some states. Grant agrees with that one. Go figure.

What the heck is happening with Brexit? Why are populist movements popping up in countries like Britain, Italy, Germany and France?

Today, with special guest Liam Cook, we explore what caused Brexit and the political and social connections between populist movements around the world.

With horrific news coming out about the effects of President Trump's decision to remove troops from the Syrian border, we have decided to reflect on the United States' foreign policy decisions. The question at the heart of this episode of Twenty Somethings podcast: Should the United States be the world police, or should we mind our own business? The answer to some is binary and partisan, but the reality is far more complex. With 100,000 new Kurdish refugees creates from Turkey's invasion of Syria earlier this week, our foreign policy decisions are once again in the spotlight around the world.

Are you an avid consumer of FOX News or MSNBC? Or do you get your news from an independent news source, like a political podcast or YouTube Channel? Either way, have you ever noticed bias in the reporting? This seems to be a rampant phenomenon. At what point does the influence of bias become fake news? And how is this phenomenon affecting the run up to the 2020 election? This is the problem at the heart of this week's episode of Twenty Somethings podcast.

Elon Musk revealed his Starship this past weekend, stating that we will be heading to Mars by next year!

On this week's episode of Twenty Somethings, Keith and Grant discuss what religion looked like when they were growing up, versus what they see now. How has religion changed in the digital era?

With the third democratic debate taking place last week, one thing became abundantly clear: the leading candidates are OLD. Joe Biden has a hard time remembering his talking points and Bernie Sanders can hardly keep his head up. It begs the question - just how old is too old to run for president? Should the current leader of the free world have grown up in the 1950s? Why is this problematic and should it change?

This episode we explore putting an age limit on who can run for president.

As always we have ridiculous headlines, including: Russian priests dropping holy water over cities, feral hogs, kids switching from juls back to cigarettes.

Also, as always, unpopular opinions!

Some people are disgusting. Let's just put it out there. It can be for a variety of reasons, but the fact of the matter is, y'little bit gross. Most of us can understand when things are unkempt. But we all know the feeling of walking into a place that has the stench of the Poop-Bomb that wreaked havoc on someones car earlier this week. Yes - that is a real thing and we talk about that too. We ask the ever important question of how the f*@(*&#$ does someone leave a chicken breast in the back of a fridge for 5 months? Men that can't aim when they piss - do you think you should figure it out? Only the important questions here on Twenty Somethings. Also discussed: Poop-Bomb (I told you) Vegan Women Sues Barbecue Neighbors "Real Spells and Curses" Force Religious School to Ban Harry Potter
