About this episode
Andy and Roger discuss household discipline and the implications of the Iran conflict.
🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE Episode 189 – Make your bed Making the bed is apparently the first step towards success, which may explain quite a lot. Andy and Roger compare their tolerance for household discipline, from unmade beds and open drawers to the genuinely hazardous business of leaving the dishwasher door down. They also consider separate doonas, decorative cushions and whether laziness should simply be accepted as a basic feature of human nature. The conversation moves to ironing, office clothes and the many months of life potentially lost to pressing shirts, before Andy asks Roger to update his assessment of the conflict in Iran. Roger explains why his hopes for a successful outcome have fallen, as they discuss Iran’s nuclear program, regional proxies, the Trump–Netanyahu relationship and the increasingly elastic boundaries of presidential immunity.
