Happy Hour at the End of the World

It's St. Patrick's Day 2022. How could we talk about anything other than the Ukraine. Whatsoever is good, whatsoever is noble, think on these things. PROVOCATIVELY MODERATE - A "Spirited" Conversation    "Where it's always All You Can Think""

If we don't remember the past, we're condemned to repeat it. Perhaps then we can blame the Ukraine/Russia state of affairs on Whoopie Goldberg, whom recently showed how little she recalled of the events of WWII. In this podcast we welcome back Coop for a broad discussion on all things Russia and Ukraine. And following talk of a genuine assault on Democracy, we take a shallow dive into th...

On the day we celebrate the birth of Martin Luther King Jr., we have to contend with the bitter taste of the most divisive presidential speech in memory. MLK famously said he had a Dream. On the other hand Joe Biden recently sounded as if he'd been woken prematurely and denied his daily tapioca. Anyone who doesn't agree with him is an enemy and and should get off his lawn. Also in this e...

Grab your rotting vegetables and warm up your throwing arm, it's time for Happy Hour at the End of the World!  One year in and it turns out the President isn't wearing any clothes.

We continue our evaluation of the Biden Regency this week, complete with our brand new Lowered Expectations! Still they manage to continue to under-perform.

 While discussing the impact of Senator Joe Manchin's open defiance, we trip into a debate on "to Trump, or not to Trump." In spite of our best efforts, we managed to avoid being kicked out of Happy Hour, but only because we were recording remotely. Still, we managed to come up with a new vaccination based reality TV manhunt called "The Vaccinator.    PROVOCATIVELY MODERATE - A...

We channel our inner Alexandre Dumas to explore the concept of a Biden Regency government with Cardinal Bernie Richelieu cast as the villainous Regent. Thankfully, a discussion about who gets to play which musketeer ended up on the cutting room floor. That's the risk of inviting single malt Sexton Irish Whiskey to Happy Hour. Despite a quick trip down that rabbit hole, we did managed to still...

This week, we take a look at the changes in society resulting from woke culture, including how a TV show from the family friendly fifties now requires a trigger warning.  Next we look at the gains women have made and how they are threatened by the new "Woke"-ism. Finally we devolve into a discussion about the nature of Truth and how it can be warped in the hands of authoritarians. Specia...

In this episode we dive into Critical Race Theory (CRT), the philosophy it covers and the ideology that is behind it. Along the way we discuss how Biden stumbled into the Presidency, the "Conspiracy of the Week" that got him there, and how bad things always turn out to be the fault of South Carolina.  Inspiration this week is courtesy of Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2013, with an...
