This week our boys discuss crocodiles, Oprah for president, Obama's knowledge of what a "taint" is, and voting.

February 07, 2017 03 - What am US Supreme Court (and Trump follow-up)

In this week's episode we drink some alcohol, review some of Trumps recent actions and Steve teaches Richie "What am US Supreme Court?"
How did it start? What does it do? How does it fit into Trump's America?

February 02, 2017 02 - What am Brexit?
Did you hear about Brexit? Maybe you didn't. It was this super underground, low key political movement that got little to no media exposure. Not to worry, a mere two days after publishing their first episode, our boys are back to explain Brexit in their trademark style of endearingly clumsy discourse.
What is it? How did it happen? What's Next?
We've set up a Twitter account! We have an infinitesimal following right now so go give us a follow so that our numbers go from embarrassing to slightly less embarrassing.

January 30, 2017 01 - What am Trump?
For their inaugural episode, Steve and Richie tackle Trump... not literally, but that'd be funny.
Where he came from, what he's done, what will he do?
This episode was recorded in late December so apologies for the occasional outdated reference. Additional apologies for the more than occasional training bra reference.
Thanks for downloading and happy listening!
