What's up with witches? Nowadays they're fun and sexy, but there was a time when people were scared to death of them, hunted them down and hanged them.
The boys discuss various pogroms against witches over the years, trying to sort out what's true and what's a misconception. They cover ...
+ Joan of Arc
+ The Malleus Maleficarum
+ The witch's mark
+ Salem

124: Sue, boycott and punch back!
P&C drink and review a hop-infused cider, then discuss how lawsuits and boycotts might be the only hope of saving western civilization from the assault by woke, racist morons.
The boys don't like litigation or boycotts, but it seems those might be the only tools to fight critical race theory and the other woke idiocies that are ruining lives and destroying the culture.
Corporations are buying into these explicity racist, illegal, and immoral diversity struggle sessions to avoid lawsuits. We need to show them that lawsuits and boycotts can come from both sides, and the law is on our side.
And now we have Major League Baseball getting into politics. Rather than being the non-political escape that we all were able to enjoy together, sports organizations are injecting partisan politics into our free time.
As distasteful as it is, boycott the idiots until they get some sense and grow a pair.

126: Crybaby America
P&C drink and review Joyous IPA from Troegs, then talk about tattletales and crybabies. P&C are sick of them, but it seems their ranks are swelling.
Instant gratification. The daily outrage. Helicopter parents. Participation trophies. And people get extremely upset over the most ridiculous things.
How have we come to this place? How did we become so coddled and spoiled?
The boys discuss possible causes from three angles: technology, culture, and the geopolitical situation. Plus the malaise of safety.
