Episode 11: We Embrace Trump Derangement Syndrome

In this week's episode of Conversation on Tap, Joel and Jose embrace Trump derangement syndrome. But before they drunkenly stumbled into that topic, they poured themselves several-- more than several-- pints of M.Special American Lager, a tasty brew out of Goleta, California. For their FRED Talks, Joel talked about Mt Waialeale as one of the wettest places on earth, though the top spot belongs to Mawsynram-- and talked about whether or not water is wet. Jose then talked about Pope Francis and the false accusation that he denied the existence of hell. At this point, the two rabble-rousers jumped into the topic of Trump. They covered everything from his constant lies to his love for Wikileaks to his blatant racism to his numerous ties to Russia. But they also took evangelical Christians to task for their blind support for Trump, as well as liberals who refused to support Hillary Clinton. As they wrapped up, Joel talked about an article in the Atlantic entitled The Scientific Paper is Obsolete. Jose ended by talking about Pope Francis' exhortation entitled Gaudete et Exsultate. Our next episode is on Fake News, and it will likely be a two-part episode, so stay tuned! Salut!
