6/2/2025

It’s TACO TUESDAY on the ADHP Podcast, but not the fun kind. The show starts off with the saddening, maddening news that Jonathon Joss has been killed by a homophobic bigot. Doug and Todd read the response from Joss’ husband before moving on to the main topic of the day: Trump Always Chickens Out.

In News of the Week, we check in on Mahmoud Khalil’s legal battle, the no-good-very-bad things our Health and Human Services department is doing regarding mental health and substance abuse, and Doug finally gives his thoughts on the Israel/Palestine conflict. The duo also discuss bacteria-infested waters in Washington State, but contrast that with the stunning beauty of the University of Washington.

What’s Geek this Week covers topics from Nathan Fillion to Harry Potter, Phineas and Ferb to Star Wars, and other topics in between (or outside of?).

And “That’s Some Weird Shit” gets extra weird this week, with plastics turned to diesel fuel, vagina-scented albums, and the most horrifying story ever told on ADHP with Doug and Todd.

Turn the volume up and take a ride!
