    Media Blames Trump For Assassination Attempt, Tech Workers On Strike, Beeper Boys, And PIRATE IDOL

    EPISODE #70: This week, we experienced another assassination attempt of Donald Trump. After a day of reporting, the media quickly shifted to blaming Trump and obsessing over the cats in Ohio. Amazon announces that workers must return to the office next year, officially ending the Covid era of work from home. We also discuss the clownish demands from the NYT Tech Workers who are threatening to strike. Israel pulls off the sneak attack on Hezbollah by targeting beepers. Last but not least, our last week of Pirate Idol first round contestants. Pick your winner this week in the comments. Next week, we bring our winners back to compete in round 2!

    Trump/Kamala Debate, WTF Is Going On With Cats In Ohio & PIRATE IDOL Week #4

    EPISODE #69 (nice): This week, we gotta get into this crazy story out of Springfield, Ohio. A town of 60,000 has become overrun by 20,000 Haitian migrants. Things took a weird turn this past week when reports of migrants stealing pets and eating them started to pop up on Facebook. This led to an AI meme war, JD Vance tweeting about it, and Trump yelling about it on the debate. Speaking of the debate, we react to this week’s Presidential debate with Trump/Harris. We were fed the typical political slop that we expected, but it Harris did much better than anticipated. Finally, another round of Pirate Idol! 3 fresh contestants take the stage to compete for a co-hosting spot on the pod.
