TeJay shares stories from the road, insight into different rulebooks and associations, and the nuances of bronc riding technique, culture, and horsemanship. We ta...

This week on Death of Fun, we spiral from baseball to war crimes without spilling a drop. Matt, Aaron, Rob, and Tim dive into the most chaotic convo yet: Rockies' dumpster fire of a Fourth of July game, Lindsey Graham’s alleged alter ego, MS-13 deportation drama, Gaza, Ukraine, nukes, smallpox blankets, Jewish butt plugs, and more.
We’re not saying it’s smart — just that it’s funny. Kind of.
