About this listen

Two absolute working-class nobodies from Southern California with no formal qualifications to credibly talk about anything - politics, pop culture, sports, current events, etc. - yet think they're more qualified to talk about all of those things because they do it with food and beverages!

  • When JK Rowling Did the Holocaust (Ep. 49)
    Jan 27 2026

    Recorded just after ICE murders someone else in Minneapolis (a "murse" no less, which is a crime unto itself), Tom & Travis talk about why people can be so willing to ignore historical parallels when they hit them in the face. This leads Travis to take us down a bizarre rabbit hole... using Harry Potter.

  • War, Dictators, and Death Squads, Oh My! (Ep. 47)
    Jan 13 2026

    America couldn't get through one full week in the new year without violating a country's sovereignty, making plans for global conquest, and having government agents murder Americans on public streets with impunity. Travis & Tom come together to talk about how to grapple with understandable fear of what's coming next and what you can do to make things better.
