Where R the Adults
We grew up in Reardan, Washington. Tiny town. Middle of nowhere. Population: us... and some cows.

Where R the Adults
Episode 8 - The Slippery Slope of Power
In this episode of Where R the Adults, we dig into recent U.S. actions near Venezuela and ask a fundamental question: who authorizes the use of force? We talk war powers, executive authority, and historical lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan — all through an adult, mostly apolitical lens focused on accountability and precedent.
Paul brings his perspective as a former member of the military, and we wrestle with ethics, lawful orders, and where the line is between enforcement and war.
Around 57 minutes, we lighten things up with Seahawks talk, Nate musings, and an important cultural question:
What movie would you Muppet?
Serious conversation, then back to the fun
