RFK Jr.: Kennedy Family Feud

Apologies Accepted ·

2024/02/21

This is one for the history books. RFK Jr. is the son of Bobby Kennedy and the nephew of John F Kennedy - two renowned American historical figures and responsible for shaping much of 20th century American politics.RFK Jr. is trying to follow in their footsteps, but he has some big shoes to fill. He's running for President in 2024 and a political action committee spent 7 million dollars on an ad which aired during the Super Bowl. The ad featured a lot of images of JFK and tried to associate RFK

We return you now to your regularly scheduled work day: Someone said the quite parts out loud on a podcast, but she wasn't talking for herself. She got a lot of pushback and fulll disclosure I am blissfully hight righ now during my personal time! I can do what I want! Or can I? (0: OMG you are gonna love this episode unless you

Pig's Head: Don't be a Boar

Apologies Accepted ·

2024/02/09

Martyrdom is a Black Metal band from Texas and they did the most Black Metal thing they could think when performing at a local Houston venue, they threw a pig's head into the crowd. Some people were into it: Black Metal is about anti-establishment Satanic performative screaming! Pig Heads are awesome! Some people were not into it: Black Metal is about authenticity and throwing a pig's head into the crowd is rude - we're here for the screaming and not the blood! The rift in the Black Metal

Privilege: The Hill to DEI on

Apologies Accepted ·

2024/01/24

Right Wing Media will have you know that Sherita Hill Golden is the DEI (Diversity, Equality, Inclusion) officer at John Hopkins Medical Center and she sent out an email that said that white people, Christians, and men are privileged. The slant of the articles and opinion pieces and onscreen televangelists – sorry we mean onscreen television news casters – would have you believe that she is calling for America to open up prison camps for white Christian males. They don’t say that explicitly, but

Encore: Jesus Versus Santa Claus

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/12/24

So it's come to this, an Italian Bishop told a group of school children that Santa Claus did not exist. The Church has resorted to lies to win the war against Christmas! The Bishop's assistant apologized and explained that the Bishop meant to remind everyone of the true meaning of Christmas (again, lies). The War on Christmas has some deep roots, the commercial versus the religious aspect has troubled people for over 200 years - people have been downing on Santa for years and it's time to stop.

It's our Christmas episode. Christmaschristmaschristmaschristmaschristmaschristmaschristmas. We love it - the lights, the music, the cookies, the racist caricatures! Ah, Christmas - the yuletide celebration that brings the world closer together. A lovely time of year when we ask ourselves the eternal questions like: what is the meaning behind a black man dressed for a renaissance fair who has curly black hair and red red lips and puts children in a sack and beats them with a stick while taking

Encore: Baby Jesus: Away With the Manager

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/12/19

Russ and Phylis have been victims of Christmas pranksters since 2016. One year the baby Jesus was stolen out of their nativity scene, later returned thanks to the miracle of faith and a very passive aggressive 3-foot-tall sign that Phylis posted on the front lawn. Another year baby Jesus was stolen and never returned. In 2019 the merry pranksters struck again, stealing the entire nativity scene…only to return it a few days later with a note of apology (surely returned thanks again to the miracle

FabFitFun: The Cost of Free Speech

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/12/13

FabFitFun is a monthly gift subscription box that arrives filled with surprises. The idea is that the total cost of the items in the box is worth waaaay more than your monthly subscription price. Subscribers love it and it's been kicking around since 2010 just delighting people and making money. That is until the company decided to throw its advertising money on the site-formerly-known-as-Twitter after Space Karen (Elon Musk) decided to add his free speech ability and endorse a tweet that was

Weight Watchers: The Skinny on Sorry

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/12/07

Weight Watchers used shame as part of their buffet of options to motivate people to lose weight. You are what you eat and your self control is visible in the extra pounds you carry around. It was all tied together nicely and that's the way it was until Ozempic showed up and was like "hey friend, I gotta let you know a secret" and the secret was you could lose weight without Weight Watchers. There was a sea change in the diet world when Ozempic appeared and that sea change came with a whale of an

Matt Rife: Domestic Abuse to Please the Bros

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/11/29

Matt Rife is/was a comedian who rose to fame on Tik Tok. Most of his followers are/were female, to which he credits his glow up from average to pretty dang good lookin! On Tik Tok, he comes across as empathetic, caring, not afraid to cross a line and offend in the name of humor, and just super likeable. On his Netflix special, Natural Selection, he decides to let the world know that he is a bro, a hardcore man whose comedy isn't "pandering to women" and to prove it he opens his special with a

Thanksgiving: Smallpox Pizza

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/11/22

Right Coast Pizza put out an ad in an edgy music magazine. The ad showed a pilgrim woman offering a pizza to an indigenous man and apologizing for "all the smallpox." The ad was meant to be funny, but instead it created a social media backlash and both the magazine and the restaurant apologized. A town meeting was held and ended in hugs, but did that make everything OK? Thanksgiving is a national holiday that was meant to unite a divided American country after a terrible and bloody civil war. It

Rolling Stone: Art of Articulation

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/11/15

Jann Wenner founded Rolling Stone magazine in 1967 and become the voice of Rock and Roll journalism for 45 years. The fact that the voice was white and male was a reflection of the times, and the times kind of never changed for Jann. Rolling Stone captured the revolutionary spirit of the 60's counter culture and helped make it mainstream. The magazine started with a mission to change the world, and just like the boomer generation it catered to, there was a lot of idealism and hope that faded over

Encore! Justin Timberlake: Britney Speared

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/11/07

All we can say is daaaammmmnnnn. Britney Spears released her memoir and told the world some things and now the world is having a re-think about Justin Timberlake. Pop culture history has it that Justin and Britney were the golden couple and super happy until she cheated on him and he expressed his sadness in a couple of pop hits. He dragged Britney for a couple of years but it turns out that pop culture had it all wrong (shocker) and the real truth is available for $20.93 on Amazon books by one

Encore! Halloween Bonus: The Salem Witch Trials

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/10/30

Happy Halloween! It's a bonus encore episode in honor of Halloween (aka gay Christmas). We'll be back live in the studio next week because as our manager has reminded us, vacations are not supposed to last forever. One summer in 1692 some village girls began behaving strangely. Witches were the only explanation and so began one of the darkest periods in early American history – The Salem Witch Trials. 200 people were sent to jail and 20 were killed by public execution. The Witch Trials lasted

Stealing a bowlful of Halloween candy from your neighbor’s porch seems like a gentler crime from gentler days…but there is a social contract involved!

Encore! Haunted Hoochie: It’s Not What You Think

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/10/18

It's a Halloween Encore Episode! We will be back live in two weeks. A hoochie is another name for a shack. Merriam Webster doesn't know this and will tell you that a hoochie is a "sexually promiscuous young woman" (like that's a bad thing). But the Oxford English Dictionary thinks that a hoochie is a WWII reference for a "lean-to" or a temporary shelter. So, let's go with shack because OED is a more authoritative source than judgey Merriam Webster. A Haunted Hoochie is therefore a haunted house

Encore! Revenge Porn: The Naked Weatherman

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/10/11

It's an encore episode! Juliette is in Sweden and Theo isn't and is pretty mad about it. Spectrum News provides a local cable news channel for every city with Spectrum Cable. It's rarely hard-hitting news and leans more towards inoffensive local stories about kittens in trees. It would be the news channel for barbie dolls if they watched news. Local Spectrum News channel 1 in NYC became an exception to that policy when they quietly fired Eric Adame, the local fan favorite weatherman on Channel

Justin Trudeau: Nazi in Parliament

2023/10/04

It's our 150th Episode and what better way to honor the occasion than with a story about Nazis! The Canadian Parliament honored a 98 year old World War II veteran in September 2023. He received a standing ovation for his service during the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in attendance and joined the applause. Now Vladimir Putin is applauding because it turned out that the 98 year old WWII veteran fought on the wrong side of the war. He is a former Nazi soldier. This faux pas

Lauren Boebert: Girls Night Out

Apologies Accepted ·

2023/09/27

Lauren Boba Fett was sent to congress by Colorado's 3rd District for a second term because 546 people wanted the rest of the US to see how dumb she was. They didn't want to hog all the stupidity for themselves and thought the national stage was the best place to showcase her world class idiocy. Thanks, Colorado's 3rd district, the following is all your fault - Lauren went on a date to a family friendly musical theater production of "Beetlejuice." She sang, she danced in her chair, and she had a
