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

We’re closing out our updates from this season with a true grab bag… central characters include Bryon Noem, Grok, Ash Trevino, Clavicular, and Michael Whatley. Now THAT’S what I call a Rich Text.
Oh! And per our 420 convo:
You can stream Afroman’s album Freedom of Speech here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2sJx89RjMLtIo8wBDbexl5?si=878f4e1403a14897
OUR MINISODATHON CONTINUES! We have more updates for y’all today, and… they’re suuuuper RSR-coded. We’re circling back to all the greatest grifts of the season (did someone say SCAM TRACKER?!). Yeah, we’ve got the upcoming UFC fight, we’ve got AlcaTrump, we’ve got a date for the new White House Correspondents’ Dinner (“INTERESTINGLY!”), and we have a potential DonaldChell...
IT’S THE SEASON 3 MINISODATHON!!!!! Yahoo!! We are starting off this WEEK of EPISODES with a few Update Everythings (Updates Everything?) to get back UP to SPEED on topics we’ve covered over the last 40ish episodes. Today’s UPDATES include: the war on “illegal immigrants and foreign fraudsters” (Trump’s words, not ours) in Minnesota, “investigative tourist” (our words, all ours) Nick ...
We are BALLS deep in bullshit. We’re talking the Arc de Trump, Ken Paxton, Tulsi Gabbard, Raul Castro and the Gulf of HOGS, and a potential $250 bill with Trump’s face on it.
In conclusion:
- RIPPP (Rest in Peaceful Podcast Power) Knowledge Fight
- RIP (Rest in PISS) Info Wars / Alex Jones

Another week of small men doing big things: Marco’s DJing and track-suiting, Kiss ‘n Tell Kash is VIP snorkeling, and Trump’s still the Ernest Hemingway of 140 characters. Ben covers Alcatraz, pus guts, and his introduction to Grimes. Abby crashes out about the WH app. We talk more about Trump’s numerology and the 1.776B slush fund.
And, of course… the Rich Text of the Week:
AMERICA IS BACK. And by America we mean Red State Reboot and fruit vapes. Yeah, we have a LOT to catch up on: the portable printer, “a little thing called Iran,” David Henrie (yes, THAT David Henrie) and his faith-friendly content, the reflecting pool, Dumocrats… need we list everything out? Quit reading and just hit play!!
We’ll be back on your feeds later this week … make sure you follow us where yo...
