The guys chat up indie author Mick Wiliams, discussing his Old Farts Club and Father Black series of books. Super fun. 

In a shocking turn of events, Robert shamelessly coopts Martin's love of Albert Camus and choses a quotation from him to bandy about with them and Francis. Great things ensue from there . . . 

The three OG (Original Guys) are back with an episode that should have never taken this long . . . our love and appreciation of the genius of the British Comedy troupe Monty Python! Yes be prepared for much quoting and much rejoicing . . . . 

Martin captains a three-person quote episode . . . and there was much rejoicing.

We didn't know what the hell we were doing or even what number we were on. Anyway, Martin, Robert and Brother Andre gathered at Studio M and just wandered off on a hoopajoob to beat all hoopajoobs. 

Once again Brother Andre takes the big chair in a throwback style episode with Robert and Martin. All the guys brought cool quotes to the party and Robert hammers it all home. 

Brother Andre takes the reins for this episode featuring a just Martin and Robert tagging along. The guys still rambled for 90 minutes about favorite Gen X movies and what they mean. And yes, Indy did have agency in Raiders. So there. 

Cajun takes us down a dark path with a quote from the popular Dexter TV show. And special guest Ms. Cajun breaks the glass ceiling as our first woman guest!  

This started out as an episode on Renaissance Art, but Martin used Arthur Herman's The Cave and the Light to twist and turn it like taffy into one just on the Renaissance itself, and Robert tied it all together. He does that. He's The Hammer after all. 

Once again with guest Maximus in attendance, Martin sits in the center seat and pulls a quotation from the great Nineteenth Century French economist Frédéric Bastiat on the nature of freedom, free markets, and how we as humans navigate the waters that come with both.

Francis takes command as the group welcomes Maximus, General of the Felix Legions, and discusses the history, consequences, and legacy of the Age of Reason as it both arose at the end of the Middle Ages and affects us all even today.

Brother Andre pulls out a great one from the Great One himself, Saint Pope John Paul II, with the quotation of "The more ready you are to give yourself to God and others, the more you discover the authentic meaning of life."

Martin brings another "What If?" conundrum to the boys, going back to World War I and wondering . . . what if the Allies told Germany to 'pound sand' with their request for an armistice in 1918 and decided to plow forward instead and seek the Central Powers total defeat?

Robert shoots from the hip and brings in an amazing quote about change, growth and the evils of stagnation from the great German polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . . .
