This podcast sure has been a ride over the past year. We've chatted with you guys an awful lot about where we are on our different emotional states regarding the pandemic. We've talked about all the news until we've turned purple. We've ridden the rollercoaster of good and bad news until we all just wanted to get off the ride.
Well, we switched gears with this episode.
We let you send in your emails of your stories about how the pandemic has gone for you. We laughed, cried, and were in awe at what you all submitted, and we're grateful that you decided to make that happen. You all really put yourselves out there with these stories and that's not always an easy thing to do.
After we read your stories, we FINALLY got around to talking about The Men Who Stare At Goats. A movie starring Ewan McGregor and George Clooney that came out in 2009. Our show wasn't named after it, but we couldn't tell people about it without them mentioning this movie that they likely never watched in the first place.
It's a good episode. Until next time!
Jacob was pushing Stephen's buttons all night so we had a handful of wonderful rants about society, pandemics, why we're such epic failures and more! The goats pretty much rocked this episode as usual. You'll have a good time. Travis got vaccinated so he's in a post-vax euphoria and feeling good. Enjoy the show!

It's a show we don't want to do, because we want COVID gone, but we try to make the best of it while doing it. I hope you get that vibe from it.
Wishing you the best!

The good news is that we had some fun stories to talk about and I hope that you enjoy the episode!

This show strives to be pretty positive, or rather to strike a balance between the absolute crapshoot of our lives and some good humored weirdness that has come out of COVID. I think this episode did a pretty good job of nailing that.
Enjoy!
