Irreverent Testimony

Stormy Weather

Will a sloppy porn star hush money scheme be the thing that finally sticks to Cheetoh Von Fuckstick? Maybe, but not before he decides on a whim he'll sit down Kim Jong Un with no advance planning, clear agenda, or letting the foreign relations aparatus know what the hell's going on. What could go wrong? 

Mad Testimony (tariffs and whatnot)

Will and Arliss from Hopping Mad (https://imhoppingmad.com/) join us for a special mid-week show to discuss tarrifs, the economy, common misconceptions about trade deficits and economic jargon, and Democrats' awful messaging about thrse realites. You might need some hard liquoe for this one. 

He went to Jared! (To launder money and a tax cut)

So Kushner is pretty f*cked, but I'm sure Trump will keep him around way longer than necessary to maximize the damage. Also, we get heavy into some bat-shit crazy local and state politics, so try not to fall asleep, and yea a whole lot more Mueller/Trump/russia tidbits. Finally, we clear up some out of context statements from last show about a lovely Western European ski resort nation we probably couldn't find on a map. Sorry about that. 

Sorry about your NRA discount, dad...

I guess basking in the blood of children is bad PR after all as more businesses cut their NRA ties by the minute. Meanwhile, more Mueller indictment fallout and Schiff releases the Nunes is Actually Full of Shit memo, which at this point is like trying to argue with Flat Earthers. Is there a point, really? 

Another mass shooting, more thoughts and prayers..

Well this is all familiar isn't it? Not sure even what else to say at this point, except that the victims/survivors of this latest massacre have had enough, and they're doing something about it. Also, Mueller indicts 13 Russians for the election meddling and Trump and co. think that's good news for him, cause MAGA something. 

Ok time for the other memo.... nah..

Trump blocks the Dem response to Nunes memo.. memo... because national security or some bullshit lol whatever nothing matters, meanwhile a budget passes despite Rand Paul's grandstanding and the DREAMers are left to twist in the wind but whatever cause lol nothing matters and as a result some progressives might just sit out 2018 and let the blood-sucking ghouls hold on to power for a while longer because that'll show 'em, cause.. you get it.. 

I got your memo right here..

Is the Nunes memo the biggest case of conservative blue balls since they discovered Nailin' Palin was just a porn parody and not a leaked sex tape? We say yes. We also abandon all this mannered poli-speak and get crude about it.. so hide grandma and listen in. 

A plethora of crap..

We got a gross pervy rapist doctor being sentenced to life for molesting Olympic gymnasts, the RNC's finance chair is a gross pervy rapist, the gross pervy rapist President did in fact try to fire Mueller last year, and hell, even Hillary Clinton had a gross perv (although not allegedly a rapist) in her midst in 2008, which she handled questionably. I didn't think this week's episode necessarily had a theme, but there it is.. 

Shut it Down

The government shutdown with one party in control of everything and I got is this lousy both sides narrative. Also, this year's Women's March is just as big as the first one. So there's that. We'll likely be re-visiting the first topic in a few weeks. 

The myth of the NCAA "Student Athlete"

Today we have on former University of Miami football player Austin Pfenninger to discuss life as an FBS fotball player, the lack of athlete compensation, the major gaps in healthcare, and the conflict of interest in treating player injuries and the push to get injured players back on the field. 

Later we touch on the fire and fury over Fire and Fury, the book Trump hates so much that he can't help but remind everyone every 5 minutes exists, and then embodies every trait clamied in the book he denies. So much 5-dimensional chess with this guy. Also, yea, Hawaii thought they were getting nuked while we were recording and we didn't know. Sorry.
