Are Europeans lazy? Do Americans only care about money and things? Why do Americans act entitled from a customer service perspective while most Europeans will "take what they are given?" What happens when all of these differences collide together in an increasingly 'borderless' world?    Is it in our DNA, or is it learned behavior?    Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast gettr.com/user/brewer_patriot    

Are we living in crazy world? One of the GOATS of tennis is detained and banned from Australia for 3 years while Boris Johnson makes a violent u-turn and re-opens the UK with an impassioned parliament speech. Omicron ushers in a new, even more, chaotic world of differing vaccine mandates & regulations. If that isn't enough, some folks are still worried about how to clean their backside as the great toilet paper shortage continues.   Seem like a lot? Yeah, we all need a drink.   Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast

We start off asking if conservatism has become the new counter-culture and quickly dive into the idea of quotas and try to understand why people can‘t elevate facts over feelings. We spend a good amount of time reminding you all we aren‘t racists as we discuss facts because somehow this is the world we live in.  How long do empires last on average? Around 250 years? Ahh, makes sense. 1776+250=2026. So America has about 5 years left.... Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast Fans support: Lost empires Locals!

We start discussing the recent trend of tearing down statues in America and Europe without any consideration for historical context or the positive impact on humanity also brought by these folks. As usual, as the whiskey begins to flow the conversation goes significantly off on several other courses, including free associating what the psychopaths must have been like who would sign up on a mission to discover the new world. This one is anything but boring folks.   And why are there Egyptian hieroglyphics of helicopters and planes? Is this evidence of interdimensional aliens or perhaps even the multiverse?    Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast    

We take the Political Compass test (https://www.politicalcompass.org/) to see where we fall on the left/right scale with authoritarian/libertarian intersection. What do we learn? You‘ll have to listen to find out, but perhaps the greatest learning of all is that there is little representation for most of our feelings in today‘s ruling governments. Additionally there‘s little difference between so-called ‘left‘ and ‘right‘ anymore. Basically, we‘re screwed. Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast

Join us on a journey through our Twitter follower profiles as Daniel learns American political "terms." Together we try to understand why our Twitter base seems like they might be "wanted" for storming the capitol. We explore what drives the way we all self-identify online and how this might be representative of our countries and social climate as a whole today.    Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast

What starts as a classic debate on free speech differences between the United States & the rest of the world somehow mounts into a rambling diatribe about the right to be 600 pounds and obese, change your gender and have it paid for, or to take a vaccine or not.  Does our own rational approach towards unpacking these topics lead to changed perspectives by episode end? Maybe, but you'll have to listen to be sure.    Comments, complaints, praise & rants: [email protected] twitter.com/lostempirescast

We are stunned by photos of a border agent mounted on a horse wielding a leather whip on Haitian immigrants on the Texas border - how did the Haitians get there? Why do American law enforcement carry leather whips? So many questions and few answers. We dive into the larger immigration debate - one with few answers and a lot of bad actors taking advantage of those desperate for a better life.  Another light topic, basically locker room talk.

We return from a summer holiday hiatus with a big topic... Why do certain countries seem to act with a more group consciousness vs. others where individual liberty is paramount over all? Is it a result of politics today, or does it go much further back in our history. Did the suffering & success of our forefathers epigenetically imprint our consciousness today to shape this?  Or are we just drunk? Our email: [email protected]

This episode has it all.... Jubilant Taliban fighters playing on bumper cars The rise of the Taliban as a marketing juggernaut using their own meme army to troll Biden‘s love for ice cream Securing gains in the gym and burning off those ice cream cones they are sucking down #TalibanTikTok vs #BamaRush TikTok - the worlds strangest timeline In the end, all jokes aside there‘s a very real human cost to all this and we debate and discuss how this could have ever been avoided, or at least handled better.  The reality?
