23 - Salmon Cannon & The Tute Screw

Ironweeds ·

2019/12/11

Apologies for the absence last week, we were evading the black helicopters that keep following us after we called for the abolition of the CIA. But now the gang's back with more hot takes and cool stories, bro. We get into the recent local scandal of Troy City Councilor and scumbag TJ Kennedy, who allegedly dosed a woman's drink!

It's Scorpio season, and the gang is back, albeit perhaps a bit hungover from a late night celebrating the birthdays of David and Chris.

Ironweeds ·

2019/11/07

The gang is back, and we're talking that talk. We begin by commemorating Beto's bowing out from the presidential race with a reading of a piece by David wherein Beto takes mushrooms with his friend and exposes on the pleasure of becoming a bag of spiders. Then we laugh about how much of a goofy racist piece of shit Richard Spencer is, discuss how fusion voting and opportunity to ballot are making our local elections horrible, and whether ranked choice voting has a chance of helping the situation.

Ironweeds ·

2019/10/25

On this episode Brit regales us with the thrilling conclusion of the Anti-Rent War. But not before we try to guess what Buttigieg and Zuck must have been talking about in that selfie.

For wildflowers we talk about the golden asteroid that would make us all as rich as Bezos if that's how value worked, and the Blink 182 guy is researching UFO metals with the military Troy DSA's Tenants Town Hall:

We discuss Tesla under-delivering their electric Ford Pintos, cars being just the absolute worst, some light history on urban transit is sprinkled throughout, and we ask: nuclear energy - hot or not?

Ironweeds ·

2019/10/07

This week Chris and David report back from Bird-dogging the Mayor about the coverup of the police murder of Edson Thevenin. Also Chris is sober. Bernie Sanders needs to fix Taco Bell for the people.
