The gloves are off! Meatball Ron and the Teflon Don are finally at each other's throats. Is this a good thing for Florida? Or does that mean DeSantis is going to be our governor for a lot longer than we expected?
We finish our countdown of the nuttiest bills in the Florida legislature.
Sound engineer: Thomas Pryle
Ryan Ray comes back on the show to countdown the top ten most insane bills making their way through the Florida legislature.
Trump vs. DeSantis is basically just Terminator 2.
Big ups to sound engineer Thomas Pryle for making us sound so good.
Nathan Robinson, editor and chief of Current Affairs, does a solid job convincing Isaac to stop trolling and embrace sincerity.
Nathan's new book, Responding to the Right, provides solid, rational points against popular right-wing talking points. But is it worth engaging with people who see the world so differently?
Isaac makes a confession.
Chris Sanders memorial.
Furry shit-talking.
And a list of all the war criminals and dictators who retire in comfort in the great state of Florida.
Today we have Emily Kearns and Vivian Mae on the show to talk about the anti-trans movement in Florida. Under Ron DeSantis, anti-trans legislation has moved at warp speed. How do we slow it down?
Special thanks to sound engineer, Thomas Pryle, for making us sound good.
Today we talk to Donna Davis, cofounder of Black Lives Matter Tampa about a Confederate monument that might be restored after it was felled back in 2017. We also talk about the state of the Black Lives Matter and whether it's effective any more considering all shenanigans of some of the national leaders of the organization. Also, does the "left" provide anything beyond symbolic victories that can be undone with the wave of a hand?
No one is safe from Gov. DeSantis' culture war. New College of Florida, a tiny liberal arts school with less than 1000 students, is the target of a right wing take over. The plan is to turn the college into Christian conservative institution that teaches "American values" and removes the "woke virus" from the public school.
Is there hope for New College?

Chris and Isaac discuss their personal differences, their favorite episodes of the past year and what they expect out of 2023.
Be a mensch and let us know what you think of the podcast. What you like. What you hate. Who you'd like us to interview.
For whatever reason, there's an epidemic sweeping this nation that only seems to affect police officers. The slightest contact with fentanyl causes our boys (and girls) in blue to overdose and then make cable news appearances. Recent bodycam footage of a Florida police officer requiring three doses of Narcan in order to be resuscitated made national news, but medical consensus says that the drug just doesn't work like that. On this episode we talk to journalist Zach Siegel about how fentanyl finds its way into other drugs, why Mexican cartels aren't trying to trick our children into buying fent-laced candy and the mass psychogenic illness of police overdoses.

Jimmy Buffett and Jesus Christ were born on the same day. On today's episode, we talk about our namesake with resident Jimmy Buffett expert a daughter of a parrothead, Emily Kearns. Can Isaac find room in his cold heart to embrace the unbridled and relaxed joy of Jimmy? Find out now.
Special thanks to Tom Pryle for editing this episode.
We have a chat with a Judge Advocate General about the recent revelations of Gov. Ron DeSantis's history of torture at Guantanamo Bay.
In today's episode, we talk to investigative journalist Whitney Webb about her new book, One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein. As native Floridian, we ask Webb why the hell Florida is the nexus of all things crazy. Is it the proximity to Cuba and shady banking islands in the Caribbean? Or is there something more metaphysical going on in the sunshine state? How do most people get the Epstein story all wrong? And how does she feel about partisans cherry-picking her research to suit their pre-existing worldviews?
FTX signed a 19-year, $135 million contract with the Miami Heat to sponsor their arena. Now the crypto exchange is bankrupt. Who could have possibly seen this coming? Folks, it looks like the free-money spigot has been turned off. Crypto experts Bobby Reardon and Manny Rangel join us to explain just what the hell is going on the crypto world and why people are so upset that nerds have weird sex lives.
Kartik Krishnaiyer and Ryan Ray join us to discuss the absolute ANNIHILATION of the Democratic Party of Florida in the recent midterm elections. While the rest of liberal America celebrates conservative disappointment in the election results, Florida has just entered a new era of blood-red Republican control. Why are Florida Democrats so bad at politics? What does the future of Florida look like? Who will win when DeSantis inevitably faces off against Trump? All that and Isaac makes a case for adopting the Japanese honor-killing ritual of seppuku for politicians who lose by more than 15 points.
In this episode, we discuss the latest spate of antisemitism percolating in the news with Jewish comedian, and Boca Raton native, Josh Edelman. Finally, Chris knows what it feels like to be a minority.
Follow Josh at @theedelmeister on Instagram and Twitter.
On the cusp of buying Twitter, we have on resident money expert, Bobby Reardon, who tries to make a case to Isaac that Elon Musk isn't a total idiot. We also talk about whether cryptocurrencies are dead and why Florida tends to attract the scammers of the world.
Neil Volz, deputy director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, stops by to talk about the recent outrageous arrests of Florida voters by DeSantis's "Office of Election Crimes and Securities." Will these tactics scare people away from the polls come November? Why is it OK to take away the right to vote of any citizen?
What effect will Hurricane Ian have on the upcoming November midterm elections? Florida politicos Kartik Krishnaiyer and Ryan Ray give us a historical lesson on hurricane politics and how DeSantis fumbled the disaster, but appears to have come out ahead. Where is Charlie Crist? Has the Democratic Party of Florida let a crisis go to waste?
Make sure to check out The Florida Squeeze for all things Florida history and politics.
*Forgive the technical difficulties this morning
We interview Justin Bloom, founder of Suncoast Waterkeeper, about Florida's imperiled water post-Hurricane Ian. Chris rats out his neighbor for insurance fraud.
Is Florida's contribution to the world of music a net negative? Does the music from our state suck beyond repair? Or do we actually make some pretty solid tunes? We have Steev Saguaro on the pod to educate us all the sounds coming out of Florida. Steev also hopelessly tries to teach Isaac how to love Miami's favorite bald guy, Pitbull.
Make sure to check out Steev's music, memorycare, over at Soundcloud.
