    Terry and Ryan are joined by Tom Meyer, former Editor at Ricochet.com and all-around smart guy. He is given an opportunity to respond to last week's anti-anti podcast, briefly (and would like to remind everyone that anybody who disagrees with him on the topic of Trump is ugly, bad, and lacking in sexual prowess). However, the bulk of the podcast is devoted to an upcoming series of podcasts designed to discuss conservatism in general. We take questions from liberal friends and hope to create a basic understanding of what exactly it is that we believe. We encourage any and all feedback or disagreement. Please comment in the comment section at Ricochet, and email any questions to flyoverpodcast@outlook.com.

    No guest this week, but that doesn't stop Terry and Ryan from opening up a few doors without closing them. Which pants are better between flat and pleated fronts? Should we legislate everything that we agree is good? What in the heck is a Libertarian, anyway? Can we have a good president, or only a not-as-bad one? Anticipatory notes: I listened to this podcast during editing and noticed a few things that ought to have been said but were omitted: 1) We very briefly mention the idea of moving your kids to a dangerous country (like Israel), and suggest that it may or may not be a ridiculous idea. We didn't expand, but we have already done that - please go back and listen to Episode 23 for some great discussion on why this is so important to people. 2) I am NOT saying that it sucks to be handicapped, therefore we should not worry about helping in any way we can because it doesn't matter. What I AM saying is that a lot of things are bad in the world, and that cannot be a justification for federal regulation, especially when such regulation has as many negative as positive consequences. Now - you listen and decide!
