A show about what is happening around us, or things we find fascinating at the moment. We may discuss politics, or possibly a quack doctor who implanted goat testicles in people, promising a cure for everything. Topics can be current, or historical, and often one thing leads to another.
The one about Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine, not knowing your kids, getting old, nacho cheese machines, snowboarders, fanny packs, Sonrisa Salvaje, hot tub neck pillows, horror movies
Mark and Kevin have not recorded, or at least published, any podcast episode of any kind, in a long time. They are rusty.
They ramble from Sandy Irvine's foot found on Everest, to nacho cheese machines, the Snurfer, David Lee Roth in Spanish, and more.

DJT stock
Vice Presidents (they shouldn't just be an accessory)
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Lauren Boebert

The one about the Israel-Hamas war, my way or the highway, Taylor Swift, societal norms, suspenders, Atlas Obscura, and Camera Obscura
The Israel-Hamas conflict has begun, and countless lives lost. Mark and Kevin discuss it a bit, before segueing into the inability of politicians to compromise, and the consequences for everyone else. Taylor Swift has movie, and Mark doesn't get it. Kevin can't help, as he doesn't get it either. There's a bit about societal norms, why suspenders are awesome, and Camera Obscura, the concept, the band, and the website and podcast.
