Cast Iron Brains - A Podcast with Bob and Abe

CIB lands with a plus-sized thud atop your podcast feed this week with some observations about over-leveraged parents and their kids, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and her highly credentialed gal pals, the Shohei Ohtani contract, and our usual games and silliness. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on our Substack , le...

Cast Iron Brains returns to its rightful place atop your CIB feed with nearly a whole damn hour of yapping about college football before we get to explaining our new daily podcast offering The Morning Press, George Santos getting the boot from Congress, the Billboard Hot 100 Game, and plenty of other silliness. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something?...

The only English-language podcast of pure repute lands atop your feed today with Thanksgiving reminiscences, Republicans confused about where the Rainbow Bridge leads, and plenty of college football talk, along with the rest of the news of the week and our various silly games and asides. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all abou...

CIB is here to screech delightfully into your earholes while you baste or stuff or spatchcock that big bird of yours this week, with a few minutes lost in the WGAS NewsBag, a bit of trying to figure out what it means to live in a culture that can’t tell a cohesive story about itself, and our regular assortment of silly games and musings. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say...

CIB returns to podcast feeds the world over with some truly unforgivable blather about college football and baseball managers, dips into the WGAS Newsbag to discuss last week’s elections and the GOP debate, the 2024 presidential field, new House Speaker Mike Johnson, and an idiot confronting a senator on a train. Then we get totally overwhelmed by Taylor Swift’s dominance of the Billboard Hot 100,...

CIB returns after taking Halloween Holy Week off to discuss what happens when you go try to buy a cup of coffee out in the world for the first time in a long time, the non-Israel news of the week, and to play a new game. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter , leave a comment on the show’s page on...

Israel and the coverage of the ongoing conflict in Gaza continue to dominate our thoughts this week, but we also find time for an, uh, NBA season preview, CIB-style, an extremely kid-unfriendly talk about a terrible article in Slate, and hang out long enough to watch the Phillies eat shit. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all ab...

It’s another podcast in which we talk about the ongoing and likely soon to be escalating war in Israel, the ongoing failure of Republicans to run their majority in the House, and we hear about Abe’s latest extravagant someone-else’s-birthday vacation. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter , leave a...

The world continues to do its world thing, and so CIB must continue to do its podcasting thing, much to everyone’s dismay. We spend the bulk of this week’s episode on the unconscionable attack on Israel by Hamas militant terrorists, but spare some time to make fun of the goofy dopes over at NPR for not being able to see what’s right in front of their faces. Listen, if you must! Has something we sa...

After an extended weekend terrorizing an Embassy Suites west of Philadelphia, CIB returns with a reaction to the news that all mammals will be dead in just a quarter of a billion years, the just-averted government shutdown, and Dax Shepard getting in trouble for asking very normal questions about gender issues. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something?...

When Lori is away the dudes will…talk about the government shutdown before starting the show and then ramble about how gambling is fun and good but also probably really bad. Join us for a mostly unstructured conversation about television, betting apps, and eventually some of the more absurd stories in the news from the last couple of weeks that we haven’t yet discussed. Listen, if you must! Has so...

Sometimes one just ends up doing a podcast that could be construed as a defense of some seemingly indefensible things, and instead of just deleting it and trying again next week, one realizes that any good faith effort to understand the world will be willfully misunderstood as indefensible by people of less than good faith, so what difference does it make? And, no, somehow this isn’t even about Ru...

This week we’re remembering remembering 9/11, wondering if there’s anything to be learned from the way we collectively react to big and terrible events, and chatting about how a story about the silly loopholes people jump through to “buy” marijuana explains our appetite for bullshit. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it...

The last good English language podcast is once again dropping into your feed to poke through the headlines of the week with that charming mélange of arrogance and ignorance that only the hardest-blowing of dilettantes can so wantonly deploy. We’re yapping about how long the national weed honeymoon can last, excessive prison sentences for unpleasant characters, conservatives getting big mad about t...

This week we are meandering fruitlessly around the subject of a mass public shooting until we get to some vaguely satisfactory thought. The reason we accept having these uncomfortable and stupid-sounding and dumb-making conversations is because eventually, in dialogue, we can occasionally come to something that resembles a thought worth turning over, or hanging onto, or at least just saying out lo...
