All good things must come to an end and it appears this is it for us. Please take a couple minutes to check out the video below.
(Because WordPress decided to screw with me one last time, it won’t let me directly upload the video to the site. So here’s the video via Vimeo. We’ll see how that goes.)
There’s no pod this week or next. My wife are heading out of town for a bit, so that’s precludes recording next week. This week…well….my grandfather passed on Sunday March 31. Last night was the viewing (I hate those) and today was his funeral.
I was asked by my father to deliver the eulogy. I did so and I was able to get a recording of it. I’d like to share that with y’all so that more folks can get a glimpse of a great man. I can’t begin to do him justice, but I did what I could.
Tonight was easier than a coed on homecoming. Lots of fun stuff to talk about. We also talked some baseball, video games, and a couple different podcasts I’m listening to.
Slightly under the weather with whatever crud the Far Too Good For Me Wife brought home from the petri dish she works in. But still, we persist.
Nothing overly yelly or angry, but still some interesting and fun stuff.
AOC, and this is stunning coming from a socialist, doesn’t really think financial rules apply to her.
Her running buddy, Ihlan Omar seems to think that it’s perfectly fine to sling actual slurs and antisemitic crap at Jews.
Trump continues to be #OrangeManBad and Alex and I briefly discuss issues at the border.
We also discuss the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and the Middle East etc etc. Mostly on how different certain segments of the population view what’s happening.
We take a brief dive in to a couple dry, but important to the industry, SCOTUS decisions and also what we think might be coming up the pike.
You know we’re all over the place, so we’ll hit other stuff as well.
Gone for a minute, and we tell you why, but back with a vengeance. We cover close to a dozen specific topics (and who knows how many we wandered into) within our normal time frame.
SHOW NOTES (I’m not taking the time to retype this in English, you’ll have to translate):
1) Title X enforced no federal funds PP
2) SCOTUS 9-0 on Timbs. Excessive fines applies to states via 14th Due Process. Better via Privileges/Immunities?
3) NC courts invalidating voter ballot decisions
4) Illinois raiding private retirement accounts to fund public pensions
5) Born Alive Act
6)Smollet
7) Trump pushing to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide makes him racist against Muslims
Sorry we missed last week. I’ll spare everyone the stupid details, but, just let me caution you to never have shoulder surgery. Or, maybe it’s just me that has every problem imaginable. That’s much more likely.
So we’re here and talking about the NY and VA infanticide bills, the insanity of the VA gov and lt gov, what it means to be “NeverTrump”, and a quick game of “Where In The World Is Ruth Bader Ginsburg?”
We finish up as always with media/entertainment. Alex gives us an in depth review of The Passage series. Brief chat on the Super Bowl. The commercials we liked, specifically the cool story behind part of the NFL Legends commercial. A few upcoming movies we’re looking forward to including Us, Lego Movie 2, and How To Train Your Dragon 3.
After a hiatus for the holidays and….stuff….we’re back and profane as usual.
The big topic this week is, of course, Covington Catholic and those damn boys in red hats. We talk about the issue itself, but even moreso about the various responses.
We also talk a fair bit about current and upcoming video games, a couple of movies we’re looking forward to (The Kid Who Would Be King, Avengers: Endgame, John Wick 3), and Notorious RBG theories.
And we kick it all off with Buzzfeed and their self-clowning.
We talk about Trump, Pelosi, and Schumer in the Oval Office. About the idea of debating this crap in public. We talk what the Supreme Court did, AND DID NOT, decide this week. We talk about The Weekly Standard. We talk baseball. We talk weather. And everything in between.
Back after a couple weeks off for holidays/personal reasons.
So. Things are happening. We start off with me catching everyone up on something, personal, that I mentioned a couple months ago. From there we jump into the major stories of this week. Bush 41 passing away, SCOTUS curb stomping Civil Asset Forfeiture, the death of The Weekly Standard (*snickers*), and possibly a rape victim using a potato peeler to skin her assailant’s…..well….you get the idea. We wander to and fro as always.
Thanks for hanging in there and we hope you enjoy the episode.
P.S. – The audio is not entirely what I want it to be. Could be multiple things. Bad internet connection. Skype updated minutes before we connected. Alex is on a new device. Hopefully, we’ll have everything up to snuff next week. (BC)
