In the current media landscape everything is printed in red or blue. Rick and Ben sit down each week to find the purple area between the lines. We ask questions, apply logic, and discover what stories were written by the headline heroes. Just like the news, we’re not always right and don’t always agree, but we always look for some sort of common ground.

This week on the podcast:

1. The Mayor of Glens Falls, New York referred to everyone who voted for a democrat as a ‘retard’. Do the citizens of Glens Falls really expect him to step down? Should he?
2. Snooping roommates discover their friend is a registered gun owner and now want her to vacate the apartment.
3. Our Dumbass of the week named her child ABCDE; expects everyone to say Absidhe (I do not remember the letter C working that way); and then got mad because someone laughed at her child. Ben explains how it really isn’t a laughing matter and not how you may think.
4. A few moments remembering President George H. W. Bush.
5. Our Purple topic of the week. CRISPER and designer babies. Was Dr. He in the right editing the genes of these twins? Was this process even necessary at all?
