This is the billionaire take-down episode. Elon Musk is always in the news, as is his intention. It’s hard not to talk about him and his purchase of Twitter. New things come out everyday, and Mark and Kevin talk about those things once again. There’s also Sam Bankman-Fried, Elizabeth Holmes, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos, […]
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 Elon Musk buying Twitter, Kyrie Irving, Norwegian princess, and cruises
Mark and Kevin can’t stop talking about Elon Musk. Now he’s bought Twitter and now works 120 hours per week. Things don’t seem to be going great at Twitter. Kyrie Irving gets in trouble and seems to double down. Billionaires can make their own reality, at least in the eyes of their supporters. Full self […]
The one about Liz Truss, Nickelback, dumb movies, Alex Jones, Lauren Boebert, sin, Catholic Knight School and religious moves
Mark and Kevin discuss former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, dumb movies, Alex Jones and his billion dollar penalty, the origin of sin (according to the bible), Catholic night school (or is it Catholic Knight School?), and silly religious movies. There’s also some Nickelback, Sharknado, SNL, and more.
The one about natural disasters, bad movie pitches, fancy restaurants, Red Lobster, lab grown meat, fake meat, Maya Rudolph, Cracker Barrel, The Great Outdoors, 80s camp movies, Henry Winkler, Scott Baio, spit balls, cool dads, and Elon Musk
With Hurricane Ian in the news, the episode starts with natural disasters. As is typical, the rest of the show is a stream of consciousness discussion of bad movie pitches, fancy restaurants, Red Lobster and seafood, lab grown meat, Maya Rudolph, Cracker Barrel, The Great Outdoors, 80s camp movies, Airplane II, Henry Winkler, Van Morrison […]
The one about Covid comorbidities, gunshot wounds, back problems, God, abrupt endings, Carrie Fisher, urinals, Zillow Gone Wild, Knight Rider, visions of the future, Uber was hacked, inflation, Patagonia, and the Energizer Bunny
Kevin’s furnace broke and getting it fixed was a minor miracle. Getting it replaced would have been a major miracle. Also, he’s old now, and messed up his back. Mark brings up Covid deaths and comorbidities, followed by gunshot wounds, and abrupt endings to things, such as life. Things get dark for a bit. They […]
The one about the Fast & Furious, never ending fashion trends, Heath Kirchart, Orcas, Elon Musk, the Queen and the Royal Family, Ronald Reagan, 9/11
The episode somehow starts off with the Fast & Furious series, moves on to really baggy pants, former skateboarder Heath Kirchart, amazingly evil Orca whales, Elon Musk (of course), the Queen and the Royal Family, Ronald Reagan, and September 11th. Mark and Kevin start with a rant about the Fast & Furious and really baggy […]
The one about absolutism, extreme sports past and present, skiing, skateboarding, surfing, and Elon Musk
Mark and Kevin discuss absolutism in just about everything, from gun rights, to sunburns at the Jersey Shore (Whitefish Beach), extreme sports, and the predictable outcome (death). There’s also some reminiscing about how the past was better in extreme sports, and how the genre has “jumped the shark”. There’s also the required discussion of Elon […]
The one about rich people ruining things, flooding, Larry Ellison, authentic food, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene
Rich people are moving to Montana and ruining things. Montana is flooding, while the rest of the country has historic heat. Meanwhile, Larry Ellison has bought a Hawaiian Island, and ruins it for all the locals. The rich try to turn every nice place into a gated community for themselves. Don’t settle for mediocre cuisine. […]
The one about Elon Musk and Twitter, Marjorie Taylor Greene and attention seeking, communes and libertarianism, Tucker Carlson and hyper-masculinity
Mark and Kevin react to the characters in the news today. The attention seekers known as Elon Musk, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Tucker Carlson receive the bulk of their ire. Elon wants (maybe) to buy Twitter, Marjorie Taylor Greene is sued, and Tucker Carlson believes men are wimpy and should tan their balls.
The one about technical difficulties, Rorschach tests, Atlas Shrugged, Afghanistan, woolly aphids, and politics
This episode was originally supposed to be episode 13, but we had some serious technical issues recording the previous two, so this one is now number 11. Is this the end of season 1, the beginning of season two, or just another episode? We don’t really know. In this episode we talk about Rorschach tests, […]
