Red State Reboot
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

Y’all know you’re dying for our takes on this one LMAO. So we got up bright and early on a Sunday morning to get ‘er done! As much as it PAINS us to say it… Karoline was right :( Shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, indeed. Our big takeaway? This whole situation is just a win, win, win, win, win for Trump. Also - Katie Miller is pregnant, and S*beep M*beep used her and the fetus as his human shield. Strange ...
3 episodes in 1 week? Say thank you!!! We’re hitting some REAL material in this one: BIBI in the situation room, DOCTOR Butch Ware for CA governor, propaganda in the digital age, and that NASTY f*cker Eric Swalwell YUCKKKK!!! Oh! And in case someone in your life needs this link… :) https://leavingmaga.org :)

We’re sorry but the Strait of ‘Vermouth’ is SO F*CKING RED STATE REBOOT CODED!!!
And in honor of 4/20, we’re re-bitching about the impending hemp bans in states like NC (thanks a lot @ mitch and @ big alcohol lobby). But, remember! Bitching without action is complacency, so look up your elected officials and make them work for you: https://ballotpedia.org/Who_represents_me. (Want a script? Visit https://fgtm.substack.com/)

No joke :---) we made y’all an extra ep this week! And TBH, Ben summed it up perfectly: it’s April, and we’re still the fools! Nevertheless, we’re continuing to spin the wheel. Wait, are we… wheelmaxxing?!!!! It’s really just a coping mechanism at this point…. Come for Clavicular (yikes), stay for Colombus (yuck), and make it all the way through to hear who’s dropping their towels at the Lincoln Memorial in June!

We also do a popcorn read of The Rich Text Of The Week (Trump’s Truth ramblings about James Talarico and Jasmine - NOT DAVY - Crockett).
Make sure ya follow us where you’re listening so you don’t ever miss a bonus ep.. Hint hint ;)
A special REBOOT for a special STAR (Donald Trump)!!!!! This ep is required RSR material… if you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to catch up. And if you haven’t listened since it came out in September? It’s time for a refresh. Every good Showboy knows you gotta dust off the old stuff and Reboot it to keep the people FED!

And it’s truly a mini tour-de-greatest-hits, including National Angel Family Day, the latest locker room talk, Trump’s beef with Anthropic, Wake Forest in the news, and a new Charlie Kirk banner.

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.
