Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way. We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence to any topic that makes the news, makes it big, or makes us mad. It's skeptical, it's political and there is no welcome mat.

I got an automated ICE ad during this podcast.
our genocider is better than yours!!! great argument guys love it
I live in Portland Oregon. I can tell you for sure that someone had those gallons of pee inside their RV. There's a ton of them along the streets not hooked up to anything. they likely walked like 2 blocks back and forth with those from the rv to that house.
https://youtu.be/ZEL4Fq4zUus?si=l9K38YOlpWHIG7yh how trump and elon think things will end
You mother fuckers, the democrats just funded, armed and diplomatically supported a genocide and you have the god dam nerve to blame trumps win on "accelerationist leftist" who abandoned the democratic party, go fick yourself. Ive never lost so much respect for someone so quickly smfh
if you have watched neighbors and relatives change over the last three years, you're fully aware people knew what they were voting for. This isn't the world of 2012 anymore.
I'm listening to Tom talk about how he's taking a break from the news cycle and laughing my ass off because this was just before the Saturday that Trump got his ear pierced🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Cecil! My cats do the same thing!
I think some in the Democratic Party thought “oh, if we hold Franken accountable, Republicans will see that we’re serious about this. They’ll follow suit.” 😂
Ian messed up, folks. Here's the YouTube link to make life a bit easier. https://youtu.be/ZPWCsVNmi28 (This post not fact checked by the local dairy counsel.)
Cecil Johnny Tremained himself. Damn
I seriously love this podcast. but I challenge them to combat for attacking my favorite and the only thing I miss about Ohio. 🤣
Elon Musk paid $43 billion to be a douchebag on Twitter.
My YouTube shorts feed was getting pretty conservative. You might just have to block any channel that shows you a Joe Rogan clip or any home security channels. Those can actually be pretty entertaining but the comment section lets you know who’s there and who it’s for.
When I was four my pre-school teacher passed a bucket of toys around the circle, letting us each choose one if we pledged our lives to Jesus on the spot. We all did, of course. Our parents were paying $2,000 a year for us to say yes to God. It’s what was expected. Even at 4 years old I felt weird, but I got a free Spider-Man figure. That Spider-Man toy was real, and I mentally claimed it as soon as I saw it in the bucket. Thanks for the toy, Mrs. Smith.
Brilliant! Thanks shitloads. 😁👍
NOICE.
Q freaks, if you’re really looking for the systemic pedophilia, it’s not hard to find. Just look for her buildings with the lowercase T on the front.
As a small business owner I am glad that my customers will have more money if their student loans are forgiven.
And then if you do have kids, they don't think you have the judgment to raise them the way you think is best.
