Red State Reboot is what happens when two friends read way too much news and realize that podcasts are way too easy to make. Every Monday, Ben & Abby take you on a guided tour through the headlines of the day. You’ll come for the digestible political analysis, stay for the cultural critique and unhinged group chat energy, and become a true Rebooty because of a shared empathy for real people trying to make sense of modern times. It’s political comedy for folks who are tired of feeling hopeless, are allergic to hypocrisy, and who still believe the group project known as “America” is worth saving. RSSVERIFY

This surprise part 2(?) of Monday’s episode dives into Kings vs. Feudal Lords, forced birth concentr*tion camps, Kid Rock, and SCOTUS’s latest attempt to trick us into believing that its not a piece of sh*t.

None. Of. This. Sh*t. Is. Normal. And neither is this ep! We pop off for a second on our Grammys/Groundhog Day projections followed by a Wheel of Doom headlines round-up from this past week. We chat some usual suspects, including Greg Bovino, Nicki Minaj, Luigi, White House dot gov, SBA, Josh Stein, the All-American Halftime Show, and of course Teflon Don.
RIPAP (Rest in Peaceful Actress Power) Catherine O’Hara :(
If you liked last week’s ep, you’re gonna love this one! If you hated last week’s ep, you’re gonna love this one! If you have never listened to Red State Reboot before, you’re gonna love this one! We’re starting off with a painful but necessary DEEP dive on two speeches (loose term) Trump gave last week: one from Washington to celebrate (HELL YEAH!) his first year in office, and then one on stage at Davos. In short… shit’s fucked. ...
Can we just say? We’re in our flow state. This episode has it all: deep dive analysis on the Minnesota fraud case, followed by a Wheel of Doom that includes the Clintons’ contempt of Congress, Trump’s Jerome Powell probe, NC slaying on AI policy, Justice Department leaders resigning, Greenland, Iran, shade on NC Gov Josh Stein, Kristi Noem’s possible impeachment, and dogwhistles galore!
And because it always bears repeating… RIPPP (...
1, 2, 3, release ‘em (new eps of RSR)! WELCOME BACK TO RED STATE REBOOT!!! In this week’s ep, we’re talking about ICE in Minnesota. We also cover Steven Miller in high school and reiterate that, when people show you who they are… believe them. Y’all, shit is really bad right now, but we do get a few laughs in on StingRays, stingrays, new nicknames for Kristi Noem, and 2020 Democratic primary core ( Liz Warren fucking destroying eve...
This week we're rebooting an episode to celebrate the week countdown until the beginning of Season 3! Also, HAPPY JAN 6th!!!!
There's a new intro so make sure to listen ;)
We’ll see you when we get drafted to fight Venezuela (and at the mandated 10-person prayer meet-up!)
SUBSTACK LINKS:
In this EMERGENCY BROADCAST: we're talking Trump, Venezuela, and how much Dick Cheney would have loved lying to invade Venezuela (R.I.Piss.).
See y'all for Season 3 soon!!!
BTW - Don’t let anyone ever tell you you won’t use a Master’s Degree in Latin American Studies. We used 2 of ‘em in this ep ;)
Released 8:00PM 03 Jan 2026.
Consider yourselves bonused!!! We just had to get one more Wheel of Doom in before the end of 2025… ET VOILA! In this ep, we laugh, we analyze, and we hawk our goods like all good grifters do. You can trust we cover ALL the headlines from the last couple of weeks. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, FELIZ NEW YEARS, AND THANK YOU FOR A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, FIRST YEAR OF RSR!!!!!
BTW, NC Rebooties! Please check the NC registration repair database. If you are...
And ANOTHER thing… We know we ghosted y’all. F*ck our f*cking chungus lives. But it was all worth it, Rebooties, because this episode is a RICHHHHH text. Yep… SCAM JAM LIVE! 2025 IS HERE.
Let’s just say we were NOT want for scams this year. Our list of the top 10 scams cover a range that are mostly political, occasionally personal, and all at least moderately funny. So many of the classic characters from the whole year make it in...
We have updates on (most of) the things we said we’d come back to this year…
Time for a fridge cig.
