Arlene Bynon and John LeBoutillier analyze the “depressed” and seemingly angry mood of Donald Trump since the Midterm elections. What has happened to cause this anger and reported “sour” state since Tuesday? Why the shunning of many allies in Paris and remaining in his hotel room?

Olin Hannum joins us this week to teach us a thing or two about podcast production, zoos, and Gangnam Style. It's fun and informative! At least about those specific topics, and not even zoos much at all, to be honest. Questions for the far future of Tuesday: How would you improve "It's a Small World"? What's the next big meme? (again, we are sorry about that one) And for the farther future of a week from Tuesday: Why did I get kicked out of Space Camp? What's the hot new Olympic sport? Please answer any OR all of these questions in a comment below OR send an email to htdquestions@gmail.com OR comment on our facebook page at facebook.com/htdpodcast OR use whatever communication method you prefer to get your answers to us and we will discuss them on our next episode!
