With no preparation and last minute coordination, the drive-time Remnant format returns. Today’s pointlessly random audio adventure covers Biden’s polarizing speech in Philadelphia, Jonah’s unique theory of what happened at Mar-a-Lago, and the dark connection between fast food magnates and conservative think tanks. Musings on TV, movies, and the strange nature of the solo Ruminant are also mixed in. Plus, stick around until the end for some breaking news about The Dispatch.

Show Notes:

– Biden’s Philadelphia speech

– Marc Thiessen: “Biden is disgracing the institution of the prime-time presidential address”

    Jonah's audio was particularly bad in this podcast... Better in the episodes released before and after. Pointing it out in case you were trying some different tech out this time.

    I know this is late, but I agree 100% with Guy’s views on Madmen. Underrated, at least on this show, and I’m always frustrated to see if left out of the discussion.

    It has really good writing. And it’s more like a series of modernist short stories (each episode can be more or less stand-alone) rather than a loooong novel. You don’t watch it to find out what happens next—there are few cliffhangers—but each episode is incredibly well-crafted and nuanced (despite some silly moments in the first season, as Jonah notes). I’m glad Guy pushed back here.

    Yes, both sides are guilty of the whataboutism Jonah describes. But what is left unsaid is that the Democrats, crappy as they always are, didn't launch an armed mob to take over the U.S. Capitol in an effort to capture and hang the vice president so as to overturn the presidential election results. They aren't trying to use violence to overturn the constitutional order.

    What is wrong with your guys' audio?? It's almost impossible to tell what you're saying a lot of the time. It's like trying to listen to a conversation in the other room while the door is closed.

    Agree that you need headsets for audio consistency. Just me, but I tire quickly of giggle club. Maybe just one guest at a time?
    Sorry, I do like the content and depth though. Thanks

    I like the drive-time Remnants, but the audio this time was worse than usual. Jonah sounded like he was talking through a pillow, Ryan sounded like he was half an inch from the mic, and Guy was halfway decent.

    It just compounded the usual Jonah audio issues (please try to maintain mic-to-talker distance) and made this episode hard to listen on headphones, and impossible to listen to in the car.

    I couldn't finish watching breaking bad. Once I dislike the main character so much I am just hoping bad things happen to him I lose interest. I just cant relate.

    The ending of Game of thrones was great.

    What about the Americans? I thought that series was one of the better ones. I admit I was disappointed in the ending though.

    Before he goes, I want to hear Caleb say, “No you won’t, this is a podcast,” at the end of one of the Solo Ruminants!
