Margin of Error

Margin of Error

Was it a close election? Or did disastrously wrong polls set Biden supporters up to feel let down?

Randy and Dave hash out the politics of sorta-winning. And finally they find true disagreement on the value of the State Initiative process.

Dyin' O' Ruth, and the Supremes

R&D Project LIVE! — COVID COYOTES

R&D Project LIVE! — COVID COYOTES

Lockdown is making our urban environment, and our hair, wilder. But the human need for professional hair-dos is pushing us to re-open. Is it the right thing?

Lockdowns Loosen Up

Lockdowns Loosen Up

Randy and Dave argue over what reported virus numbers mean - just like everybody else. 

Do sporting events have any standing if there's nobody in the stands? 

And should you go to the dentist?

The Politics of Evidence

The Politics of Evidence

The Dagnammit Duo™ hash out their opinions of facts - from the Reade allegations to reopening. Are our conclusions predetermined by how much we want Trump and Trumpers to lose?  Special guest @DavidGunderman makes the case that, yes, cancelling a cancerous President should be prioritized over Democrats shooting one of their own. Plus: MurderHornets™ - Aren't they the bee's torso?

The Randy & Dave Project LIVE

The Randy & Dave Project LIVE

Well, it was live. Now it is preserved for your listening pleasure through a pickling process with a generous helping of *opine*. join Randy & Dave and guests as they discuss the creative outlets they’ve discovered at home and online. Later, the boys envision what a post Covid world will look like: a new utopia, or more of the shame?

What Novel Ways Will Corona Wire Us?

What Novel Ways Will Corona Wire Us?

How is online congregating helping us get along as a society, and what will we take with us when we're allowed to go outside?

Plus, plenty of bad information from two guys who've been blissfully ignoring the headlines...

How Far Is Far Enough?*

How Far Is Far Enough?*

*If You're Moist From Sweating?

How come the official rules of quarantine lag the need? And what will the rules be when we've gotten the "All Clear", or the "Some Clear"? R&D sort through the post-apocalyptic possibilities for 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 and 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦. PS: Can our listener tell us what those words mean?

Don't Say Moist

Don't Say Moist

OK. This was gonna be really good. But Randy - who has a *computer consulting business* - blew it. He let the recording stop RIGHT WHEN IT WAS GETTING GOOD.  *THEN*, once we re-started the recorded segment of the podcast, he misread the length of the recording and cut us off before anything good could get going. 

So blame him.

Also, thank him, because it's less than 20 minutes. And we say "MOIST".

Back the F*ck Up, Piglet

Back the F*ck Up, Piglet

R&D are breaking it down so you can focus on having a breakdown:

  • We give a quick snapshot of the coronavirus pandemic in America
  • We discuss how much is too much when it comes to living a clean, quarantined life 
  • Later, we move at least 6 feet away from the gloomy news by answering listener questions - It's a great way to get up-close-and-personal with Randy and Dave without getting infected.

One Hundred Hours of Solitude

One Hundred Hours of Solitude

Are we killing the economy to save lives from the Virus? And does that even f---king matter? What is safe sex in the COVId-19 era? Also, Woody Allen publishes, apparently unaware he's been cancelled.

Biden your time with COVID-19

Biden your time with COVID-19

Let Down and Hangin Around? Join Randy & Dave with special guest Zoey G, a COVID-19 refugee sent home from school in NYC.  Displaced, disillusioned and disappointed, Zoey reveals a bit of her new life under the veil of a sanitizing wipe, and talks Sanders' revolution vs Warren's "middle way".

Hand-washing or Hand-wringing?

Hand-washing or Hand-wringing?

What to do when almost overnight our world has changed? Accept the new normal, freak out, or go about your business? Randy and Dave have stockpiled a whole bunch of ill-informed and unsanitized opinions on the subject for your social distancing pleasure.

Puppies in a Tennis Ball Factory

Puppies in a Tennis Ball Factory

Dave’s been busy, so it’s his fault that we haven’t been putting out. But we’re back now, and boy do we have a LOT to say, much of it somewhat listenable. If you like jibber-jabber with a topical flair, you’ve come to the right place. 

This week: 

· How do you prioritize issues? 

· Are assault-weapons the real "guns" problem ? What about handguns, that kill far more Americans? 

· Is our national debt really anything? 

and

· Should a democratic nation deny entry to an ally’s elected leaders?

So sit back, relax, and suffer a little bit for your country.
