Today weâre going to take a break from Brett Kavanaughâs confirmation and the rest of all the horrible stuff happening right now, and instead talking about Taylor Swiftâs recent endorsement of Tennessee Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper. Will T. Swift help usher the blue wave next month? Do celebrity endorsements in general help elections? Letâs find out!

Today on the show, we talk about the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and the shitshow that was Thursdayâs hearing. Weâll also have a conversation about #WhyIDidntReport, false allegations, and why this kind of behavior shouldnât be considered standard male behavior. Needless to say this episode needs all the trigger warnings!

Today on the show, we spend another hour about the latest crazy shit surrounding the Trump administration. This time, itâs all about Michael Cohenâs plea bargain, all the people close to Trump that have been granted immunity in the investigation, and whether or not any of this will have any effect on Trumpâs presidency. We also talk about the recent passing of Sen. John McCain, but itâs less about his legacy and more about how Trumpâs beef with him continues even after death. Seriously, with Trump as the president, weâll never run out of material for this show!

Today on the show, weâll first take a look at the Comey Memos and find out what kind of tea they spill, and whether or not itâll have any effect on the Trump administration. Then weâll discuss a recent Vox article called â9 essential lessons from psychology to understand the Trump eraâ in order to figure out how exactly we got into this mess.

On todayâs episode, weâre going to first talk about the recent debate between Sam Harris and Vox writer Ezra Klein about Harrisâ interview with Charles Murray, co-author of the infamous book The Bell Curve. Weâll talk about what both Harris and Murray got wrong, and go a little bit into the science behind intelligence and genetics. For the second half of the show, weâll talk about how stress from all the atheist movement drama led me to a suicidal episode last week, and whether or not being part of the movement is worth it.
