We cribbed the title of this week's show from Charles Krauthammer's book as it perfectly describes what we're feeling this week after the announcement from the good doctor and the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. We get reactions from our guests, Rod Dreher and Andrew Klavan, who also delve into other topics, including psychedelics, why Trump is a great President, cake baking, and more.
Music from this week's show: The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

I’d wish Rob Long a happy birthday, but this episode is tautologically unavailable. :)

"Wow," was exactly what I said. Good show, gents.
Although, really, Rob, either you need to let the master work or do all the spots.

I have suggested that Rob set a membership goal and, if we hit it, he hits the acid. And we televise that on a live stream for members only.

That is some out-of-the-box thinking.
