Hailing from the Causeway Coast, Good Friend is Adam Carroll (lead vocals and bass), Izzy Curran (drums), and Andy Reid (lead guitar). These three Irish lads originally come from around Belfast/Northern Ireland but they moved to Newcastle, England to get shitty jobs and form a band. The jobs did indeed turn out to be shitty, but the band turned out great! 'We've always described our sound as Punk Rock salted by The Irish Sea. Melodic and ferocious.' The band are signed to Red Scare Industries (US) and Gunner Records (EU) and have toured the world and played with bands like MakeWar, Guerilla Poubelle & Red City Radio. Good Friend played support to The Menzingers on the 16th of April at Button Factory Dublin, where Letty interviewed Adam and Izzy of the band.

So how do you poison someone with antifreeze and get away with it? Apparently you don't, as one North Dakota woman found out. Also, how many close friends do you have? It's probably more than we do, but is that higher or lower than the average American? Also, the gas chamber makes a comeback in Alabama, and how do we deal with guns being made from 3D printers? A couple of states are answering that question by trying to ban the printers. Is that the right solution? Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.

Where do the protections of free speech end? For one professor, it ended when he argued that pedophilia is not morally wrong. The university he works for suspended him, and he has now sued. And speaking of pedophilia (which we both think is morally wrong by the way), how might it be looked at differently 100 years from now? Will it be similar to how society views homosexuality now versus how it was viewed 100 years ago? If science were to determine that pedophilia is not a choice, should future societies stop treating it as a psychiatric disorder, as they did with homosexuality in the 1970s? And finally, we talk prostitution and discuss a very scary facial recognition website. Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.

If you're considering exploring a cave that's like 4,000 feet underground, please don't. A lot of bad things can happen. But that didn't stop Mark Dickey. We talk about his ordeal. Also, are you planning on traveling out of the country? If so, you should probably check the State Department's travel advisories. And spoiler alert: don't go to North Korea. Next, Jeff throws some famous movie quotes at Chris to see if he knows which movies they come from. And finally, we have two idiots who just won't seem to go away—Ken Paxton and Lauren Boebert.

We hear a lot about the insanity defense in murder cases, but the reality is that it's hardly ever used and even when it is, it's hardly every successful. But what does it mean to be “insane?” This week we look at a current case juxtaposed with the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan, and learn how the insanity defense changed in this country. Also, what are the most widely read books of all time? Chris had the unenviable task of venturing into a government office, and we end up with some questions. Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.

This week, Chris has some helpful air conditioner info for this God-forsaken, hot summer. Next, we look at two Supreme Court decisions: first, we examine the aftermath of the Supreme Court's abortion decision from last year; and second, the court also broke with precedent in deciding that race can no longer be used as a factor in college admissions. Is this a good thing or bad thing, and how will colleges respond to the ruling? And finally, it seems that there's a push from employers to get their workers to return to the office, even though studies show that workers are happier working from home and are just as—if not more—productive out of the office.

Happy Independence Day! Our forefathers died so you could sit around, eat hot dogs, drink beer, and listen to great content, so do your patriotic duty and turn up the volume as you stuff your face.

Chris brings us a top-ten list (Jeff is happy) of patriotic songs, and Jeff has a list of his own, which shows us that the percentage of Americans who don't believe in basic facts is alarming.

As Molly Ivins said, “The Texas Legislature consists of 181 people who meet for 140 days every two years. This catastrophe has now occurred [88] times.” She also quipped, “All anyone needs to enjoy the state legislature is a strong stomach and a complete insensitivity to the needs of the people. As long as you don't think about what that peculiar body should be doing and what it actually is doing to the quality of life in Texas, then it's all marvelous fun.” With that in mind, we look at some bills currently making their way through the Texas Legislature. Some will probably become law, some will not, and some are just idiotic. Have a listen and marvel at the peculiar place that is Texas. But first we share a listener email that calls us out for our lack of knowledge. Hi, Mark! Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.

Only Subpar Talks is brave enough to transition from sandwich talk to ancient sex toys to food lawsuits. That's right. We wet our feet with a little discussion of sandwiches, discuss a 2000-year-old dildo, and then look at some really interesting lawsuits involving food. Among other things, listen and learn about the McDonald's coffee case, why Papa John's can say their ingredients are better, why you might want to shy away from Skittles, and why you might want to sniff your drink at Crackle Barrel before you take a sip.

Time is everything. It dictates our lives—when we go to sleep, when we wake up, and when we have to be at work. But what is it? According to the experts, its simply an illusion—a social construct that can change simply based on mass and gravitational pull.

The 20th century saw some of the most groundbreaking inventions that changed the world as we know it. From the airplane to the creation of the Internet, these inventions have transformed the way we live, work, and communicate. One of the top inventions of the 20th century is artificial intelligence (AI), which has revolutionized the fields of medicine, finance, and transportation, among others. AI is a form of technology that can learn, reason, and even make predictions, bringing us closer to a world where machines can perform complex tasks without human intervention. If you think this isn't a big deal, consider the fact that AI wrote what you just read! Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.

Happy Valentine's Day! But we're celebrating with a bit of a twist. President's Day is close, so why not combine the two and discuss some amorous activities of our White House occupants? We all know about Marilyn Monroe and Monica Lewinsky, but which one of our presidents had an affair with his sister-in-law? And did you know that one of our presidents was probably gay? And, finally, find out which president decided to name his, uh, well, just give it a listen. That and so much more! Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.

In 1983, a single mother in Florida wrote a how-to-murder book titled, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors. A decade later, a man used this book for instructions on committing a triple murder. Can the families of the deceased hold the publisher liable, or is the publisher protected by the First Amendment? It's a fascinating case that gets crazier with a twist at the end! Hosted by Chris and Jeff 1.
