This week’s episode is a rollercoaster through some of the wildest stories dominating pop culture, internet drama, and political headlines. We kick off with a nod to our amazing Patreon supporters and a behind-the-scenes look at delivering that perfect NPR whisper voice intro. Then, buckle up for a hilarious and incisive breakdown of South Park’s latest and most savage Trump episode—micro penis jokes, AI deepfakes, and legal theory, all roasted to perfection.
We dive headfirst into Candace Owens’ bizarre crusade against France’s First Lady and her impending lawsuit from the Macrons, exploring conspiracy theories, media ethics, and the wild world of podcasting provocateurs. Get our unfiltered reactions as we dissect the infamous Balloon Boy hoax, Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy (including the dark side), and Jeffrey Epstein’s damning deposition—the one where pleading the Fifth says more than words ever could.
From current events to deep dives into social taboos—like the weird rise of step-porn and what’s really dangerous about problematic content—we pull no punches. Along the way, you’ll find sharp commentary on parenting, power dynamics, generational wealth gaps, and why you should never trust towns with a “great values” reputation. There’s even room for tangents into pet parenting, Sharpie signatures, and gluten-free cookies.
If you crave irreverent, intelligent, and cheeky conversations about everything from internet culture to real-world scandals, with just enough chaos and personal anecdotes to keep things spicy, hit play now.
