    Assassinate Me, Daddy

    We’re back to ponder the hard questions like, was Stalin a good person? Having never received our check from President Xi, we start simping for Cuba, which has the advantage of still being socialist. Ethan runs through dread goddess Rona’s latest kill count, Jason loses his hearing, and we review an oddly prescient (in the wrongest way possible) article from Wired circa 1997. Plus: The Simpsons that could have been!

    Pour One Out for My 2004 Acura

    Who’s to blame for the ongoing covid epidemic: individuals who haven’t been vaccinated for whatever reason? Or the leaders of the most powerful nation in history refusing to do a damned thing about it? We contemplate these and other questions, talking a surprising amount about dread goddess Rona, for a podcast that took her name out of the title. Jason’s back with more Rants on Rantz, Ethan deep dives the metrics, and we shill for Andrew Grant Houston for Seattle mayor. Plus: is Seattle still safe for beat-up cars?

    The Ocean Burns

    How many kaiju do you think came through that rift? We contemplate a world on fire. Jason reminisces about the car he bought from a pirate, Ethan lectures from the Bible, and we check if some of our favorite places survived the pandemic. Plus: local chud celebrity Jason Rantz has bad takes. We start beef with our all-new segment, Rants on Rantz! We aren’t vegetarians but we ain’t f*****g scared of him!

    Re(turn)demption

    Surprise—we’re back! We needed a break, but the world kept on turning. We return to shovel through the manure of our crumbling neoliberal order in a desperate search for content. Join us as we rant and rave about test-tube ten-year-olds, our recent forays into medieval arms, and Jeff Bezos in space. Plus: our Father’s Day gift list!

    Bearial

    Wherein SquadCast screwed us out of audio. We brainstorm ways to accustom bears to the taste of human flesh. Jason reconciles with his father, Ethan collapses under the weight of feline affection. Plus: season 3 is here! (It was more impressive and/or funnier before SquadCast lost our audio.)

    One More Dick, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Pod

    We reflect on what we’ve learned, if anything, from a year of podcasting in the shadow of our dread goddess Rona (praise be unto her). Jason reviews Oscar bait while Ethan thirsts for fictional bad girls. Plus: we get rich in a galaxy far, far away! Just as soon as Ethan gets back from visiting his Imperial girlfriend in space prison.

    Hustle for Your Healthcare

    We’re a week out of date because Ethan forgot to edit last week, but who’s counting? Except you, Dev. We've heard your complaints. Love you! Pfizer punched Jason’s V-card, so he shares the experience. Ethan relives the glory days when rent in Seattle was affordable to people who weren’t making six figures. And we reflect that more than half of a million people have been murdered by the Trump administration’s criminal negligence—I mean, have died of covid in the US! Plus: why the hell aren’t they vaccinating the dishwashers?
