We're back and we're more depressed than ever. Matt discovers where his customer service rage comes from, and we have a few choice words for Hank Abraham's buddy Benjamin Netanyahu.  Speaking of Hank Abraham, in this week's show, season 17 episode 15, he goes out in-- in our opinion-- a very character consistent way.

In Season 17, Episode 13: Forty-One Witnesses, we ask the tough questions: Why don't people take it upon themselves to get involved with police investigations.

(00:00:00) Matt and Aviv Have Nothing To Say (00:25:02) Episode Review That sure is a nice townhouse you've got there.

Aviv likes the new Mission: Impossible, but Matt hates the new Fear Street. Can these two ever get along? We recorded this episode in May of 2025, so the people whose voices you hear have no idea that we've just bombed Iran. Have pity on them.  Follow us on Bluesky and now Instagram !

Rearrainge deck chairs on the Titanic of impending fas...
