The Men Who Stare at Goats
This podcast sure has been a ride over the past year. We've chatted with you guys an awful lot about where we are on our different emotional states regarding the pandemic. We've talked about all the news until we've turned purple. We've ridden the rollercoaster of good and bad news until we all just wanted to get off the ride.
Well, we switched gears with this episode.
We let you send in your emails of your stories about how the pandemic has gone for you. We laughed, cried, and were in awe at what you all submitted, and we're grateful that you decided to make that happen. You all really put yourselves out there with these stories and that's not always an easy thing to do.
After we read your stories, we FINALLY got around to talking about The Men Who Stare At Goats. A movie starring Ewan McGregor and George Clooney that came out in 2009. Our show wasn't named after it, but we couldn't tell people about it without them mentioning this movie that they likely never watched in the first place.
It's a good episode. Until next time! -
The Journey
Jacob was pushing Stephen's buttons all night so we had a handful of wonderful rants about society, pandemics, why we're such epic failures and more! The goats pretty much rocked this episode as usual. You'll have a good time. Travis got vaccinated so he's in a post-vax euphoria and feeling good. Enjoy the show!

The Light at the End
... Might be a freight train.
We went everywhere on this one, but most of it DID relate to COVID. It's been a wild ride, but there are hopes for an end to this saga. The news was on the good and bad side this week, but we certainly had a good time chatting about it.

Looking at Covid from some regular people
This is one of the only places I go for regular news and commentary on Covid stuff right now! They talk about what’s really happening and what’s really affecting us all. They look at the news, they look at the science, and try to figure out what we should take from it all. Give these guys a listen, you will not regret it!
