After nerding-out on Star Wars and Tolkien we take a turn to Politics with our episode on Richard M. Nixon. Yeah, the Orange Man is ridiculed as well, but this is more about the effect Nixon had on the US in the short and long term. Buckle up for some knowledge. We also give a nod to the dear-departed Norm MacDonald. The Drink: Nixon's Little Man: Equal Parts Gin, Limoncello, Grand Marnier References and Notes: Richard Milhous Nixon Speech with the Lemon Farm Norm MacDonald Nixonland (Book) JFK "You don't have Nixon to kick around anymore."

If there is anything we can be called fanbois about, it's Tolkien. It's funny how when we were younger, we'd be bullied because we read these books.
