We cannot stress enough to you the importance of voting. That's why we talk about tomorrow's election throughout the entire podcast. We get if you don't want to listen to that. You have that choice. But if you make that choice, please make the choice to vote as well. Don't mail in your ballot anymore. Take it to an official polling place or drop box. If you DO decide to listen to the episode, we speculate WILDLY about what could possibly happen in Tuesday's election and in the aftermath.

Yes, you read that correctly. Plus... THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING. With the election next week, it's important you send your ballot in ASAP or, if you feel safe to do so, GO VOTE!

Trigger Warning: Call of Civic Doodie (feat. Katie Elsaesser)

What a weird f***ing week... We talk about all of it. Or as much as we can, starting with what the world is talking about: Trump got COVID. What does that mean, what could really be going on? It's like a conspiracy theory happening before our very eyes! Except... it's... not a conspiracy? Plus, we talk about if it's okay to joke about death or, more specifically, a particular person's death, and how we're holding up in the midst of the continued craziness.

Jake gives all you Asininers an update about the show and a new type of episode we'll be doing called: Trigger Warnings! It will be an opportunity for Jake and Daryl to catch up and talk about all things that have triggered them lately, both bad AND good. Yes, the traditional debate episodes with guests will still happen as well. But these will give the boys the opportunity to stretch their legs a bit and keep bringing you more and new content. It might not be good, but it'll be more and new.

Update! New episodes coming called: Trigger Warnings!

He's as delightful as he is tall! We welcome the terrific B. Dave Walters back to the program, this time not to discuss our misconduct as buddy cops in our awesome short film, but instead to talk wrasslin' as the modern day version of The Globe Theatre, what video game we're on track to making a reality, and how we can harness the power of Karens for good!

B. Dave Walters: Prison Chickens

In our longest, most serious, and introspective episode yet, we are joined by longtime friend Brandi Nicole Payne (Muted, The Mentor). We tackle heavy topics, discussing the difference between having a conversation and educating someone, how organized religion should evolve with society, and, perhaps most importantly, the perfect layout to a grocery store.
