HA! We did another episode for you beautiful people. Sadly, it is about a very tragic case that has as close to a happy ending as we can hope for. Larry Nassar has a long time behind bars to relive the trauma of having to hear how his violations impacted his victims. Also, Jenn has life tips on drinking and Amazon, hint? They don't mix!
Also, check out NaNoCon 2018!

Today, on "How awful can people be?" we cover some more misogyny because the world we live in is great to women. A bit of a short episode where we talk a LOT about some ways you should NOT treat women in the workplace. Oh, and we announce some neat stuff, too! For example, our new youtube channel!

I guess we aren't too happy over some of the latest nonsense we have found in the last few weeks. Harvey Weinstein and Mythicist Milwaukee dominate the conversations this episode, and it's difficult to make light of consistent exploitation and victimization.

Well the assholes were out in full force it seems, and we are here to make sure they don't fly under the radar. Can politicians like porn? Just why do geriatric men enjoy women younger than their grandchildren so much? Why don't people realize how damaging their asshole opinions are to the future generations? No answers to these questions and more in this episode, but we do have fun speculating!

We haven't forgotten your beautiful ears, we are here, we promise! Listen to 2 overtired podcasters rant about nazis and... more shitty white men. I guess shitty white men is the overall theme of tonight's episode. Though for the first time in Keith's life, he says something nice about Taylor Swift. But there is time travel references, and we prove that history is already repeating itself;
Measels are back, an asian country is threatening the US, Nazis are marching and rallying, it is now 1942. Last year, we had Backstreet Boys touring and a Clinton running for the White House meant it was the 90s. Do we have anyone smart enough with the maths to let us know what time period to expect next year???

Back from NaNoCon, Jenn and the Podunk Polymath tell us their tales of glory, adventure and glorious adventure! Chris joins us to share some of the memories and good times that were had over the weekend he and Jenn found themselves on a panel. Then we dive into some talk about the religious bills being tabled in Tennessee. Stay tuned to find out why free speech in Canada isn't under attack, unless you believe free speech means you don't need to respect anyone else.
