  • Summary

  • Hosted by Baby Boomer, Patrice Sikora, and someone who sits on the cusp as the youngest GenXer or oldest Millennial, Mathew Passy, Irrationally Rational offers an intergenerational take on the best and worst life throws at us. From an opinionated take on the biggest news stories of the week to complaints about the trivial problems in their everyday lives, Patrice and Mathew bring their versions of humor, analytical thinking, wisdom, pathos (Patrice added that one), naivete (Mathew added that one), cynicism, and friendship (we both added that) to this weekly podcast conversation. They may even tackle the often-whined, timeless questions “What’s for dinner?” and “Who left the lights on?”

    The Purr-fect Legal Defense
    Feb 12 2021
    Happy Chinese Year Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Tax Filing Season. It's a busy weekend on the show but first we talk about the https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/trump-impeachment-trial-day-3-house-democrats-rest/ (impeachment trial of the former President). Which reminds us of a certain lawyer who appeared as a cat on Zoom. Biden secures https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/02/11/world/covid-19-coronavirus (more vaccines for everyone) but there is some thinking that it could still be a long time before we are back to normal. Especially https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2021/02/10/salesforce-says-9-to-5-workday-is-dead-and-employees-will-only-come-into-the-office-one-to-three-days-a-week/?sh=726ee39b5d16 (when it comes to working). And the Boss's Jeep ad gets pulled https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/11/entertainment/springsteen-arrest-new-details/index.html (after revelations of a DWI).
