Does is it ever seem like the rest of the world is two drinks behind? We think so. Join us as we dive into current topics focusing on business, lifestyle, entrepreneurship, policy, and being an ape in the modern world. You will probably leave with some cool insights, but also probably not. Sometimes things can get a bit messy, not suitable for tiny ears.

    existence has become exhausting

    We recorded this a few weeks back but didn’t release it—mostly because we sounded exhausted and overwhemed. But hey, content gods must be fed. This one’s about the speed of foreign policy, the tyranny of the clock, and a.i. friends. Also: is the cure for depression two drinks, a motorcycle, and seeing Olivia Rodrigo live in concert?

    Sorry Kendall & Val. We will have you back on

    We discuss true love and tariffs, while budgeting your iPhone purchases. Lets make drugs again…and then do them in a bathroom with everyone’s favorite jockey. We invite Mike Tyson to the Kentucky Derby, and our producer edits out our guests.

    Is anyone listening because of what I write here?

    We dive into the rapid unraveling of government systems, question the mysterious disappearance of Big Bird, and fantasize about life as ambassadors. Somewhere in there, I casually admit to a crime—can you guess what it is? Plus, a breakdown of checks and balances, a messy relationship with food, and why a more humane approach to immigration just makes sense. Bonus: can you spot the editing clip where we had to cut something embarrassing?

    We might low-key be bullies.

    You can tell we are hungover. Happy new year.

    We for sure think we are smarter than we are.

    We put Nate Silver on notice, and give ourselves a lot of credit.  Vibes > Data “Thank you for supporting our family run dictatorship” I hate even numbers, except when it come to the fake French. This generations Ted Kaczynski is way hotter.  We are for sure on a watch list now.  Can someone please make a meme of how Matt Gates looks like a composite of Beavis and Butthead? We are still toxically optimistic, and I have an idea way smarter than DOGE. Seeing drones in my soup and I think we need to have a farewell episode for Lena Kahn, what do you think?

    We for sure think we are smarter than we are.

    We announce our giveaway contest. You could win. 615.870.7306

    Hurricanes are bad, but we are badder.  Adriano is BIG… in Albania, and I play matchmaker.  We maintain our Lina Kahn streak.  Everything old is new again. I dunno, probably some other stuff, I stopped listening.

    Election episode? 615.870.7306

    We try to do an election podcast, but of course we get off topic We have our first guest, Ethan, who single handedly raises our collective reading level, and challenges my supremacy for a buttery smooth podcasting voice.  Look it, this one is a little more scholarly and measured, but hey we are all nerds here.   Call us…. please. 615.870.7306

    Do we sound depressed?

    Biden drops out, we discuss the most dangerous job on the planet, and I say something really inappropriate. Sorry mom.
