    Ep. 6 - The End of Democracy

    On this episode, we discuss the legacy of RBG and look forward to the near future with her seat now vacant. We also talk about the $12 million settlement for the death of Breonna Taylor, how Bill Barr is even crazier than we could have imagined, and why calling Trump a fascist is a completely accurate description.

    FiftyFifty Brewing's Alicia Barr talks craft beer and cannibalism

    FiftyFifty Brewing's co-founders Alicia and Andrew Barr were both working as engineers when they decided they'd had enough of the rate race and wanted a change of pace.  After some planning, they loaded up the truck and the moved to Truckee... California that is.

    The Barrs homebrewed prior to starting their brewery but chose not to bring any of their recipes over to production.  They hired a pro to take care of the brewing and recipe development.  That seemed to work out pretty well as it didn't take long before the brewery's Eclipse variants became highly sought after.  I recall (mostly) my first time trying Eclipse, a couple of variants at a bottle share.  Deep, rich, and luxurious stouts in bourbon or rye barrels or treated with coffee.  2019 even saw a Jägermeister variant.  Although Eclipse is what most people know them for FiftyFifty brews a variant of beers, including the tasty West Coast Haze.

    Alicia Barr joins us this week to talk about their growth from a pub to a production brewery, the challenges of finding warehouse space in a tiny town, earning GABF's Brewery Group of the Year Award, and the "fun" of having a brewery in the same town where the Donner Party spent their fateful winter.   It's about time we worked some good cannibalism conversation into the show.

    Attorney General William Barr told confidants he is considering resigning after the president ignored his requests to stop tweeting about pending investigations; six presidential contenders are preparing for tonight’s debate in Las Vegas, a test for the candidates’ appeal among a more diverse electorate; and in New York City a new survey found widespread wage theft among the city’s nail salons.

    Tuesday, February 18th, 2020

    More than 2,000 Justice Department lawyers are calling on Attorney General Barr to resign as criticism mounts over the sentencing of Roger Stone; Democratic presidential candidates are heading west to Nevada as a new Univision poll reveals Bernie Sanders is leading in the battleground state; and more than 300 Americans landed in California and Texas after being evacuated from a cruise ship in Japan, now 14 have tested positive for coronavirus.

    The fallout following the Justice Department’s decision to override Roger Stone’s conviction continues, as Republicans dismiss Democrats calls to investigate; the coronavirus outbreak in China is growing worse as the US reports it’s 15th official case; and a federal judge reinstated a free hotline used by detained immigrants to report harsh conditions after ICE officials had pulled the plug.

    THE GREAT GARBAGE FIRE OF THE MIND

    THE GREAT GARBAGE FIRE OF THE MIND

    It's the height of summer! Time for fun! Time for swimming and cookouts! Time to get out there and have a good time!

    So Dan and Maureen hear. But they do this podcast, which means they track the news. And this week, Maureen has decided to rebel. No more news. She is done. She has decided to go to the moon.

    But Dan has rented a booth in a co-working space in Santa Fe and demands that the journey continue. What are we learning, SaysWhovia? How does one process 2019, in particular this last week of 2019, which has devolved into a slurry of sewage and anger. The same way as always! Talk through it until either Dan or Maureen has heatstroke or loses a tooth. Maureen dreams of such sweet release. But no, there are tweets to discuss, and 2020 candidates, and Brexit.

    And the moon. There is always the moon.

    And each other.

    Come to the green at midnight, SaysWhovia. We will look at the stars together and eat ice cream.

    SHOW NOTES

    • Dan's back on the road this summer, so Season Two of The Hitch is OUT NOW. Weekly episode drop on Mondays!

    The Mueller Report: Reading Between the Lines

    The Mueller Report:  Reading Between the Lines

    In the 11th episode of the Whole Truth With Jill Rosensweig, Attorney Rosensweig provides a legal analysis of 1) what Volume II of the Mueller Report says; and, more importantly, 2) what it doesn't explicitly say but hints at instead.  Ms. Rosensweig also explains why it is that Attorney Mueller does not overtly state whether or not Trump obstructed justice.  If you're confused as to what is going on with the Mueller Report, this episode is for you.
