Today we're looking at Matt Walsh's attempt at a children's book, 'Johnny the Walrus', and correcting all the harmful misinformation in it.
Hi all, today we're talking about a nail technician big on Instagram and Tiktok who, horrifically, encapsulated live frogs, ladybirds and ants inside her acrylic nails and mishandled mice as part of her social media content. This type of mistreatment of animals is never ok and can never be excused as just 'art' so today we're going to talk about it.

In today's episode I'm talking about Matt Walsh, an American right-wing political commentator. Recently I found some of his older videos which express incredibly concerning views around consent, children and child marriage and I think we need to talk about it.

Insecure, emotional, not smart enough - call it whatever you like but these three from the Reality Check Podcast had no idea how to hold their own in a conversation with someone intelligent and they let themselves get too angry and over-emotional.

But I also feel like Paul and Morgan have been posting for such a long period of time, there h...

Today we're fact checking them and calling out a lot of this nonsense. Their behaviour is so embarrassing for them.Sources and Further Reading: https://worldanimalfoundation.org/advocate/bear-attacks-statistics...
Today we're taking a deep dive into the content of Jack Densmore, Jack Denmo, or just Denmo as some people know him. He originally started out as a prank and "interview" channel and has slowly got worse over the years - today I'm asking, how is he still even allowed on Youtube?

Well, this may be one of the worst books I've ever read it's 'Corrupt' by Penelope Douglas, the first book in the 'Devil's Night' series and it's so awful - poorly written, nonsensical, has awful characters and is just a complete mess.
