  • サマリー

  • Two buddies, one a bald graduate of the London School of Economics, and the other, a blind psychiatrist offer their vastly different takes on life and current issues. They model friendship that thrives in the arena of ideas where they take their ideas seriously but not themselves or each other.

  • Student Loans: Somebody else bought your free lunch

    Student Loans: Somebody else bought your free lunch
    2024/08/05

    We discuss college student debt, the universities complicity in the problem, and the return on investment of a liberal arts degree. We consider whether student debt relief is acceptable pandering or unfair wealth redistribution.

    This is a podcast of firsts for us. We address our first listener question, John offers a listener trivia challenge, and we introduce a new, real, sponsor. As always, we call out our hero and whack-job.

  • You can't spell "Ha! Sir," without Harris.

    You can't spell "Ha! Sir," without Harris.
    2024/07/29

    We address Vice-President Harris’s candidacy, play the “design a president” game, and see if she checks the boxes. We review the relief she is bringing, while acknowledging her speaking style and difficulty retaining staff. We speculate on her confidence or its absence. Plus, a note from our sponsors and statesmen as whack-jobs and heroes.

  • A convention like never before

    A convention like never before
    2024/07/22

    We review our thoughts on the assassination attempt, conspiracy theories, and the notion that evil isn’t an absence of good.

    We discuss the VP pick, opinions of Trump’s speech in Wisconsin, and debate which party relies on fear.

    We share our whack-job and acknowledge over a dozen freshly shaved heroes at the Wall Street Journal.
