Man's Brutal Nature
<p>This episode is releasing a little late unfortunately but that's ok because Jeb and Tim are largely talking about the timeless topic of how the 24 hour news cycle is turning our brains to mush. We explore a delayed conversation on Trump's Senate impeachment trial and Tim talks about the one book he read in the last 12 months.</p><br><p>Book: <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316418539" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Humankind by Rutger Bregman</a></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Filibuster Gamestop
<p>There's one big news story this week and it's Reddit's troll war against Wall Street. Jeb and Tim chew over the finer points of a politically utopian vision of what this may mean (Occupy 2.0, anyone?) before moving onto discussing the Democrats' potentially reforming the filibuster rules in the Senate.</p><p><strong>~LINKS~</strong></p><p>Adam Jentleson's Kill Switch <a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781631497773" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Indiebound</a> & <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Switch-Crippling-American-Democracy/dp/1631497774" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon</a></p><p>Alex Pareene's New Republic piece <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/161067/fine-keep-filibuster-kill-60-vote-requirement-instead" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fine, Keep the Filibuster.

That Little Crime Box
<p>We're back. American Political journalist/writer Jeb Lund and New Zealand comedian Tim Batt have returned after taking an entire Presidential term off to assess the damage and share what they've been up to in the intervening period. In this episode - Jeb can't bring himself to even bet on the planet being here in another four years but has been following the Church of High Sorkin that is the Biden/Harris inauguration with a glistening eye. He's also got the receipts on Matt Gaetz. Tim interested in the Senator Bernie Sander's new roles are Grumpy Opa who is a bit cold/Senate Budget Committee Chair. Also, what will come of the Republican Party from here on in (probably more of the same!) Will Biden live through his term? (Don't ask Tim.) And AOC blew off the inauguration to hang out with Teamsters? Cool.</p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebs0C1Wk0gE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tim's Worst Idea of All Time pilot for YouTube</a></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
