Well the boys are back this week and have broken into someone's apartment for the sake of the show! It must go on, as they say. And this week is full of interesting topics such as: the history of the whole(??) world, American Social classes, washing clothes on foreign soil, small town scandals, woke-ism in the outskirts, and learning from our countries' pasts.

Today's episode has Moe and Jordan back together again after a 2-week separation. They catch up on everything Jordan's been up to during that time: working for a Portugese TV show, recording a German folk album in the mountains, and most importantly they discuss the breaking of a big story regarding the sexual aussault allegations against musician Avi Buffalo.

Jordan is flying solo this week and has a lot to talk about: from last week’s great interview with Meiko, to a myriad of issues he has with Germany’s bicyclists and their lack of rules, to finally obtaining a driver’s license in Munich. He also touches on what this last job has meant for him, and what is coming for him in the near future.

American musician Meiko (now living in Hamburg) skypes Jordan and Moe to talk about her experiences with Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, and having hugely popular tracks in major shows like Grey’s Anatomy and One Tree Hill. She also opens up about the sensation of being an immigrant in a new land, the struggles and expenses of today’s America, and how she wants to show the world she’s grown as an artist and a mother.

In this extra-long episode, Moe and Jordan record together in the same room for the first time in 17 long weeks. To celebrate this and the almost-anniversary of the show’s first episode, the boys have a few drinks and cover a wide array of topics. From silly to serious, this episode might be your favorite. Special update: next week, the boys will have their first guest call since Corona began!

Today Moe and Jordan talk about being on live TV in Hamburg, getting a big feature on Bayern 3, and how things come full circle. You meet someone, and years later it comes to great benefit. How does this happen and why is it so common as you get older? They also discuss the act of miscommunication and how middlemen and language perpetuate it. Jordan tells a story about one of the best and one of the worst concerts he’s ever played, and they top it off with a chat about German prostitution and some good old fashioned jokes.

Today Moe and Jordan catch up on which major German radio stations Jordan’s song “The Crooked Rail” has been played on so far! They also celebrate the release of the film “Easy Does It” (available worldwide later this year), the prediction of radio’s survival, Space Force, and after figuring out if Paris is the most predictable place an American can travel to, they also touch on the abundance and subtlety of European racism.

Today the boys discuss the successful fundraiser for a small town bar in Germany, online streaming concerts, they bust out some Yo Mama jokes you won’t soon forget, they warn you about the worst show on Netflix, and then give some great recommendations for things to read and watch that can help educate those interested in the current racial and social climate.

Nothing lasts forever, and times change. After discussing some updates with Jordan’s release, the boys dive into a dream job scenario where language would perhaps be of no concern. They also discuss the reopening of restaurants, some minor corona updates, and not to mention the details of a term coined by Moe - “ugly waiting.”

Jordan will also be live on Freies Radio Freundenstadt, next Monday at 20:15 to discuss his recent release.
