Jay expressed shock and frustration over the reaction of left-wing individuals to the assassination of Charles Kirk, emphasizing that Kirk was a moderate conservative who promoted civil dialogue. Jay criticized the celebration of Kirk's death by some on the left and highlighted the irony of people being fired for their social media reactions to the incident. Jay also questioned the narrative surrounding recent mass shootings, sugge...

We discussed the murders at the Catholic Church in Minnesota; Jay vented about media spin, “manifesto cherry-picking,” and how every press conference turns into a Rorschach test. The takeaway: the killer’s writings were a stew of depression, contradictions, and bigotry—awful, not profound. The murderer stated that "six million was not enough," yet managed to completely avoid attaqing a synagogue, jewish politicians or yeshiva schoo...

In this hilarious deep dive, the gang uncovers one of America's cheesiest secrets—literally. From the rise of ice cream parlors during Prohibition to the government's bizarre stockpiling of surplus dairy, Kennedy walks us through a somewhat true conspiracy theory about how milk and cheese shaped U.S. history. Along the way, they unpack the origins of government cheese, the Got Milk? campaign, and why Missouri might be hiding underg...

U.S. Policies & Global What-the-Hecks

Jay kicked things off with some spicy takes on recent U.S. foreign policy—mainly, “Why are we bombing Iran again?” He had high hopes that Trump would at least not start another war, but alas. He pointed out the double standard: bombs for Iran, crickets for Syria and Nigeria. Apparently, some countries get the “meh” treatment unless they’re trending.

Jay shared statistics showing that while abuse within the Catholic Church must never be ignored, it represents a smaller percentage compared to other sectors. Elliott echoed the frustration over anti-Catholic bias, questioning why legal scrutiny of...

🎙️ Knobby Awards and Media Critique We kicked things off by christening our very first “Knobby Awards,” and guess who snagged Best Spaceflight? Bobby nominated the Blue Origin space flight for a Knobby, criticizing the media's coverage and the lack of qualifications of some of the participants compared to real astronauts. Angel provided information on the rigorous requirements to become a NASA astronaut, highlighting ...

1. Episcopal Church Ends Refugee Program The Episcopal Church announced it will shut down its refugee resettlement arm after refusing to accept white South African farmers—despite having opposed apartheid for decades. The decision followed the Trump administration’s designation of white South Africans as refugees, which drew criticism from both the White House and refugee-rights groups. This move has sparked debate over whether fai...

Cruise Ship Norovirus Outbreak & Protocols 🚢🤢

Jay shared the gory details of a Norovirus outbreak on a cruise ship that left 150 people, including guests and crew, battling stomach cramps, vomiting, and the dreaded diarrhea. The cruise line stepped up its sanitation game, but it’s not the first time this has happened. Chris and Angel chimed in with their cruise experiences, with Angel expressing a clear preference for ...

🚪 Death, Trees, and Power Games

Things took a serious turn as we discussed the tragic death of Virginia Giuffre, a survivor of Epstein’s horrific crimes. We questioned the "official" story (as one does), vented about the shady Epstein client list that’s locked down tighter than Fort Knox, and demanded real justice for the victims. Jay dove deep into a few global messes, including shady moves by politicians and questionable s...

Pre‑Flight Chaos

  • Jay kicks things off by rapid‑firing clichés—saucy Italians, hairy Greeks, and (uh‑oh) drunk Irish folk—only to sigh when the last one immediately materializes in real life.

  • The culprit? An unnamed U.S. cargo pilot in Dublin who blew a breathalyzer high score at 5 a.m. on 17 Sept 2024. Irish Aviation Authority yanked him off the flight, tattled to the FAA, and—poof—his license is now a coaster.

👻🐵This episode kicks off with Jay and Chris discussing a ghost chimp in Dorset that apparently can’t keep its ectoplasmic hands to itself. Is it tragic? Absolutely. Is it also weirdly hilarious? Definitely. The conversation then takes a turn (downward, into the depths of horror) as Jay shares a tale of a Bangkok sewer disaster—because if there’s one thing worse than ghosts, it’s plumbing nightmares in Thailand.

🎨 Roasting Postmodern Art

The gang goes off on postmodern art disasters. Rae kicks it off with a disturbing story about an artist who wanted to let piglets starve—yes, really. 🐷❌ Jay brings up Piss Christ (a crucifix in pee) 😬💦, and Rae rants about art losing all meaning. Angel presents a light switch installation that literally just… turns on and off. 💡😴 The verdict? Yawn. They wrap up by laughing at a painting so bad even a...
