Auguste and Evan come together to discuss the role of memes in today’s culture and which of them will stand the test of time. Using the recent meme-opedia of Dudley Newright, they match up the best memes in a bracketed tournament where each meme faces off with one another in three successive rounds. Applying the most rigorous scientific standards a…

Auguste brings back Senior Editor and film critic Tony Juarez to discuss a few recent movies and a few not-so-recent ones. They begin with an extended conversation of The Running Man with Glen Powell, a reboot of the sci-fi action flick in the 80s with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Even the proud Gen Xer Tony had some reservations about this movie, though…

The cousins are back together again to discuss what this past week’s off-year elections portend for the future—if anything. Even though Republicans try their best to show how crazy their opponents are, Democrat voters have overwhelmingly proved that they don’t care. Auguste wishes that the candidates had plan beyond pointing at their opponents and …

Is nature healing? Is Trump bringing world peace? Will San Francisco become an iconic city again? Auguste is joined by special guest and OG Everyman contributor Katya Sedgwick to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine, the precarious peace deal in Gaza, and the prospect of Trump sending the troops into San Francisco. To all these questions, Katya is mo…

The cousins are back again to discuss a new banger of an essay by writer John Carter which discusses how online social media voices are increasingly informing policy and culture. We both consider to what extent this really is the case, where we can see it, and if this is ultimately a good thing for the country. Unsurprisingly, both Auguste and Evan…

What happened to the superior messaging of the Democrats? Why are their candidates so terrible and obsessed with inflicting violence? And is toppling public monuments still cool? Auguste has a conversation with special guest Dr. Adam Ellwanger, a professor of rhetoric at the University of Houston Downtown and a frequent contributor to a number of c…

Another week, another instance of leftist violence and Republican impotence. Auguste and Evan discuss the most recent attack on ICE agents, with both feeling frustrated with the relative inaction of the Trump administration. Both agree that Sen. Ted Cruz needs be primaried (and start dieting). Recalling their discussion of Dudley Newright’s article…

After sitting out a week to grieve the truly awful murder of Charlie Kirk, the cousins come together once more to discuss what’s going to follow. Both pay homage to the incalculable impact of Kirk on the conservative movement, consider what comes next, and debate whether his wife Erika has what it takes to continue his legacy. They also discuss Kir…

Auguste and Evan discuss a viral essay from Dudley Newright that explains how Reddit has made everything in our society lame. From starting as an online forum for dorky introverts to find one another, the platform and its moderators have come to dominate the thinking and sentiments of society, particularly with millennials. While Dudley argues that…

Tony offers his thoughts on the new Superman film. For what it’s worth, he recommends it if one goes into it with the right expectations (that is, low ones). We discuss the strange wokemongering preceding the film and the challenges of making a compelling Superman film in general. This prompts Auguste to nerd out and discuss his disappointment with…

In this episode, Auguste and Evan hash out the Epstein controversy, carefully consider the very un-startling revelation that staffers were abusing Joe Biden’s powerful autopen, and offer eulogies for NPR and PBS. By some miracle, we managed to keep the conversation to an hour, and by yet another miracle, Evan managed to have something new to say ab…
