How do you do, fellow zoomers? Travis and Tom bring on returning guest, Travis's wife Denise, to talk about FX's new comedy about young twentysomethings living in New York City (gee, this sounds familiar). Is this the voice of the current generation? Is this the next Friends? Is it even good??? Or is this just another item in the streaming pile? And coming up - what's wrong with TV today and other wild topics!

CW: Explicit references to sexual assault, particularly against children.

This week, Travis and Tom go into the uncomfortable implications of Trump PROBABLY BUT ALLEGEDLY being complicit in the same sex crimes Jeffrey Epstein was indicted for and is probably covering up. Being so obvious in said cover-up, Trump - who once drove Travis away from faith in conspiracy theories due to his incompetence - manages to renew his faith again by the same said incompetence! Talk about a character development episode!

Also, apologies for the wonky audio int he beginning.

A very brief break from the doldrums of the modern world to talk about martial arts. Travis interviews his Black Belt brother in-law, James, as they talk about Karate - how it's life changing, how effective he is in self-defense, different types of martial arts, and what Hollywood gets right and wrong.

The Big Bill. Everybody's talking about it (if they're not otherwise talking about Epstein)! Travis and Tom talk about how we got to the point where the government is actively trying to f*** over people and how we can crawl out of this. Perhaps a mayoral-hopeful in New York can provide the answer...?

It's that time again when Tom and Travis talk about entertainment that neither has seen (or played). This time, Tom talks about a video game that everyone else and their mothers have heard of whether they wanted to or not - the zombie game with the tall sexy vampire lady! And Travis brings up another 90s hidden TV gem - a space opera set on a space station with actors wearing a lot of latex (though not to be confused of a certain Star Trek show that did the exact same thing AT THE EXACT SAME TIME).

Tom's got a buddy who used to be a chef at a fine dining restaurant. You know, kinda like Remy the Rat without the fur. Or Carmy Berzatto without being a depressed control freak (hopefully). What is working at a restaurant truly like? How do restaurants work? Is Olive Garden "fine dining"? Is a steakhouse worth your money? Do you think you'll tip your waitresses and hosts better after listening to an interview done inside a car with crude microphones? All these questions will be answered here!
