Pillow Scream Radio Eddie Mannix

Alex, Jim, Mandy, and Mike finish out the libertarian dialogue and end with a big announcement

If you feel like you're going crazy, you aren't. If you feel like you're alone, you're not. We know these past few weeks have been tough for anyone so we wanted to refocus the episode on something that's near and dear to every veteran's heart. We all feel like we've lost a part of ourselves and you shouldn't feel ashamed for that. We'll miss you OnlyFans. Rest in peace. 



Oh yeah, we talk about Afghanistan too. 

No one wants to hear that the original libertarians were actually communists. Unfortunately, facts don't care about your feelings, so we have a go at the OG libertarians and discuss how the term somehow morphed from "anarcho-communism" to "anarcho-capitalism." Hint: it has something to do with money. 

So, funny story. We were going to watch the new Mortal Kombat (2021) movie and riff about how terrible it was and how it perfectly encapsulated the decadence of late stage capitalism. What actually happened was that we ended up liking the movie. Something about ripping someone's spine out and beating them to death with it just speaks to our lizard brains. Anyways, we debo'd the episode to talk about some of the quirks of our fever dream reality with our returning guest, Zach! 

Yell at us on Twitter @pillowscreampod. Drag us on apple podcasts with a review. 

This week the two athletes of the gang discuss the strange history and traditions of the Olympics, who profits the most from the games, and which "sports" should definitely be cut.      

Jim and Mandy welcome a new guest, Raj!  There's no better way to talk about Afghanistan than with a battle-hardened combat veteran, and boy did we find one.  Raj, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for the daring behind-enemy-lines rescue of fallen beef stroganoff, left the service after one cup too many of dogsh*t army coffee.

Anyway, we talk about the all the media noise surrounding Biden's decision to pullout of Afghanistan, once and for all (by the "darkly ironic" date of September 11th, 2021, no less).  We discuss the ulterior motives of the man who helped start the war--and the utter vanity of his claim to be the man that ended it.  All in all, we agree that all us veterans and active duty folks are sick of the Democrats and Republicans fighting over us like it's a goddamn custody battle.  Get your shit together Mom and Dad, you were both trash parents, you didn't feed us, you blew our college savings, and we're definitely going to become strippers.  Oh and we're absolutely doing drugs.

Fun fact: Dick Cheney tastes like baby powder.  Can confirm.  Want to know how we know???

Thanks for coming on Raj!

Love, Mandy and Jim

(Oh and btw, there's an audio clip in here about the military industrial complex from the documentary Why We Fight.  Brilliant piece of filmmaking.  Check it out!)
