Let's Make It Better
Description
We don't want to fix stuff-- that's too much pressure. We've been complaining and whining for years, so maybe it's time to grow up and offer an improvement or two along the way.We may never fix anything or solve a problem-- but maybe we can find a way to make things just a little bit better.Who are we kidding? Pull up a stool, slide the free popcorn your way and join the conversation. We can't fix it, but Let's Make It Better. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/make-it-better/support

Description: It's a REUNION SHOW as Chris and Bob are back in the studio together! This week we take a look at risk.

LMIB #20 - Auto Racing
Release Date: 5/6/2021
Duration: 42 Mins
Authors: MakeItBetter
Description: There it is--- GREEN FLAG! Logic is heading off hard into turn 1 followed closely on the outside by ageless romanticism and being pressured from behind by a sense of hollow regret. Going into turn 2 it looks like logic will win out, WAIT! Back in the pack it looks like a fear of failure and a harmful memory of childhood has crashed coming onto the straight-away! Nobody wins in this shameful pile-up of bad self esteem and broken dreams. It's not baseball and it's not soccer. It's auto racing. We tackle the important problems like "rain" and stuff. Check it out on Let's Make It Better, "Auto Racing".

It's a national pass time. As Homer would say (Simpson, not the one you flunked the test on in 10th grade) "Beer: the cause of and solution to all of life's problems". We redress the events of the day, circle the urinal cake a few times on beer details and then wrap it up with a spirited game of "would you rather...". It's the Let's Make It Better Podcast!

Description: What is disorganized, backwards, contrary to definition and staffed with mostly people who don't know what they're talking about? This podcast, right. In this episode we kick off 2021 with a new season and an exploration of modern politics and Congress. The government is way too big to tackle all at once and as we find out, too darn hard to even put a box around to explain or complain about. Like most things, whatever goes wrong the government ends up being our fault. Well, I guess that means we get to fix it too-- right?

LMIB #10 - Pop Music
Release Date: 11/25/2020
Duration: 73 Mins
Authors: MakeItBetter
Description: TURN THAT DOWN! Seriously, what is wrong with popular music today? Actually, maybe that is the wrong question-- what the heck happened to music? We used to complain that MTV didn't play music anymore, but maybe now we know why: There is no new music! It's all click-bait, product placement and "adult content". What's worse is it seems like we've decided to throw all pretense to the wind and just turn the ladies into the catch of the day at the local market. Seriously, thank God Chris has 4 copies of the Dark Side of the Moon. If nuclear winter comes and our new overlords only provide us with the Top 40 feed, we may all go insane.

Maybe it's the wall-to-wall elections, the pandemic, racial unrest and quarantines. Whatever the case, the boys aren't happy with modern news reporting and what it's doing to our home country.
