Mark and Kevin have been busy, because of kids, but finally get back to recording another episode. This one starts with a rant about gift cars, and why they are “the worst”. Things quickly spiral, as it often does with these two. The episode covers:
Are We Recording?
A show about what is happening around us, or things we find fascinating at the moment. We may discuss politics, or possibly a quack doctor who implanted goat testicles in people, promising a cure for everything. Topics can be current, or historical, and often one thing leads to another.
The one about the Israel-Hamas war, my way or the highway, Taylor Swift, societal norms, suspenders, Atlas Obscura, and Camera Obscura
The Israel-Hamas conflict has begun, and countless lives lost. Mark and Kevin discuss it a bit, before segueing into the inability of politicians to compromise, and the consequences for everyone else. Taylor Swift has movie, and Mark doesn’t get it. Kevin can’t help, as he doesn’t get it either. There’s a bit about societal norms, […]
The one about the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Lauren Boebert, sociopathic CEO, Boss Tweed, True Scottsman, Trump’s Favorite Bible Verse, Danny Masterson, Jimmy Fallon
Mark and Kevin discuss the latest drama in Wisconsin, Lauren Boebert’s latest incident, rich businessmen who hate their employees and want them to stop feeling empowered, Boss Tweed, some logical fallacies, Donald trump (of course), and a few other items. Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates often speak out on hot topics. Only one faces impeachment threat […]

The one about the submarine, Trump, the Supreme Court, team pride, Elizabeth Holmes, Moms for Liberty, kids and sports, and mountain biking
A submarine imploded, Biden was blamed for a slow response, and obviously Trump would have found it faster…probably by himself. The Supreme Court went crazy recently. Some people tie their self-worth to their favorite professional sports team, which Mark and Kevin find odd. The political organization, Moms for Liberty quoted Hitler in a recent newsletter. […]
The one about home projects, science as a team sport, cars are complicated, music snobbery, old rock stars, jury duty, AI, skateboarding
Kevin spent the day of the podcast fixing things, whether broken or not, so that’s how the episode starts. Mark has an encounter with a climate change denier who almost utters the words “global warming”, but then catches himself in the nick of time. Unfortunately science has become a team sport, with political allegiance taking […]
The one about the sound of our voices, distorted self-image, collecting things, satirical business ideas, liberal towns in conservative states, Kevin’s European vacation, movies, US health insurance sucks, and leaving your comfort zone through travel
Mark and Kevin don’t like the sound of their recorded voices, though they do like the sound of each other’s voices. Does everyone dislike the sound of their own voice? They realize they’re not funny, insightful, or even likely very intelligent, but Mark brings up those who have a distorted self-image. Kevin went to Europe […]
The one about baseball, pesäpallo, cricket, English food, golf and other activities that pay a lot, Gwyneth Paltrow, Trump indictment, bad politicians, the Weekly World News, and the Satanic Temple
Major League Baseball is changing the rules. Mainly, because it kind of sucks. Pesäpallo, the national sport of Finland is kind of like baseball, but different, and cricket is confusing. Golf is even more boring than baseball. English food is pretty awful, but at least you can get any other kind of food while you’re […]
The one about the latest Musk drama, attention seeking politicians, 70s string art, Sri Lanka, the Queen of Canada
SpaceX employees feels more calm with Musk focused on Twitter. Elon is like the man behind the curtain, desperately pulling levers. Attention seekers: Musk, MTG, George Santos, Andrew Tate, and others. That’s just for starters. The show covers way too many topics. Elon Musk is focused on Twitter, and his SpaceX employees feel a weight […]
The one about taco trucks, big hamburger, video stores, R.E.M, Heaven and Hell, Harold and Maude, and medical bills
Mark and Kevin were obviously hungry and immediately began the show with a discussion of taco trucks, and food trucks in general. Kevin recalls the time when GOP strategist promised food trucks on every corner. Sadly, that never happened. Somehow the conversation morphs into a conspiracy theory about “Big Hamburger” convincing us to not like […]
