S03E28 - It'll be Alright in the End

It’s our final episode and we’re having a stew party!  Stephen takes one last crack at sketching out a theory of everything. It’s basically things are bad, it takes a lot of work, then they get better.  Also, Kayla is going on vacation and Stephen has one last story about his kids.

S03E27 - NORM!

For the most part, the way the government runs isn't set in laws, but rather is governed by norms of behavior. What happens when we have an abnormal president? The short answer is, things don't run. There's a longer answer though. Also, Kayla's got some hot Katy Perry gossip, and Stephen's got good news and bad news.

S03E26 - E P NO-WAY!

In any other administration the scandals at the EPA would have dominated the news cycle for weeks on end.  But, this one's... different.  So, what's the EPA?  What does it do? Who's running it? And what are the scandals?  Also, Kayla's been spring cleaning, and Stephen is doesn't know who is he is anymore (it's a dad, he's a dad).
