You wouldn’t know it from the tired decor at TGI Fridays today, but this family restaurant has a sexy past. It was once a game-changing singles bar, which arrived on the cusp of the sexual revolution. We go back to the 60s and 70s to experience the original Fridays, and find out how it has changed the way we meet, date and marry.
Prepare to have your destiny as a listener reshaped by paternalistic influences! We have on a wonderful guest, David Kyle Johnson of the Great Courses series to talk about the Season 1 Finale of The Orville (available on Hulu) and the ethics of the prime directive, a classic of the Star Trek Universe. Also, does anyone get a Brigadoon vibe from the planet in this episode? Didn't get to bring that up in the show, so easter egg for folks who actually read these.

On The Gist, President Trump’s high approval ratings aren’t as significant as they seem.
America is a playground for the rich, and that’s in good part because of the expansion of lobbying that started in the 1970s. Steven Brill lays out the many ways in which power begets power in Tailspin: The People and Forces Behind America’s Fifty-Year Fall—and Those Fighting to Reverse It.
In the Spiel, keeping track of Trump’s bullshit claims is truly God’s work.

In this episode, after nearly a year on our list of possible "Deep Dive" episode topics, Dr. Pat finally gets to talk to Rivers and special guest host Joe Raines about one of his favorite artists who also just so happen to be the most infamous musical frauds of all time: MILLI VANILLI! From the late 80's until the early 90's, Milli Vanilli was one of the most popular groups in the world. Then, after winning a Grammy for "Best New Artist" and losing a game of chicken with their evil record producer, it all came crashing down. Now we're here to examine the wreckage. How bad were they? (Not that bad) Could they actually sing? (Yes, kinda). All these questions and more will be answered on this week's INCREDIBLE Deep Dive episode on Rob and Fab aka MILLI VANILLI!
