Rapping and Ranting

In this episode, the Miscreant and Mentor discuss the filthy urchins and their parents who create messes in public events.  From there, they discuss people known as "professional commiserators" who ask if you're ok then proceed to attempt to tell their own story and then one-up it. Today's snacks are all RAP snacks provided by a fan.  Hilarity ensues! Lastly, the game is a mad libs for the Mentor.  Thanks and enjoy.

Sun's Out Guns Out

In this episode, the Miscreant and Mentor discuss the issue of leadership and humility.  A normal topic of the show, the two discuss the proper way to admit one is wrong and diffuse a bad situation.  They also talk about the joys of enjoying the summers in Little Letcher County.  For the snacks today, they try Smoky Mountain Popcorn and several energy drinks.  One of the popcorn flavors had to be obtained by signing a waiver and showing that one is over age 18.  After trying, they understood perfectly well why.  Tune in because the Miscreant receives yet another blow to his aversion to ranch dressing.  Thanks for listening.

Diamonds and Love Language

In this episode The Miscreant and The Mentor discuss how adversity makes diamonds of us through pressure and creative solutions to problems. We discuss how technology, especially AI, has taken creativity and grit from people.  They then discuss the various love languages.  For the first time ever, they introduce two new love languages that they hope will be added to the literature on the subject. Next, there is a snack sampling. There are two types of chips, two gummy snacks, Japanese Oreos, and a Japanese cinnamon roll.  Finally there is a game where the guys look at the last meals of people on death row and either swipe left to immediately be executed, or swipe right and eat that meal. Thanks so much for listening.

Ruby Madness

In this episode, the Miscreant and Mentor discuss the hype around the hantavirus and its possible origins.  Is it conspiracy theory, lunacy, or plain idiocy? You decide.  Next, there is a discussion about complexity for complexity's sake.  People have a way of making simple things complicated to appear complex.  This discussion is an attempt to demonstrate understanding of that, but to also challenge it.  The snack section contains three varieties of potato chips in specialty flavors.  Will the Miscreant vomit on air?  It's highly possible.  Lastly, the game section is an attempt to stump and confuse the geriatric Mentor with riddles.  Play along, join in, and enjoy the madness.
