2022-07-171h 33The Freak ShowSupreme Shorts: Apparently Lost It…they could be a band…
This week, we spend the episode discussing the biggest Supreme Court decisions handed down at the end of the term, after which Justice Breyer stepped down, & Justice Jackson joined the bench. These decisions were quite a mixed bag, but we spend much of the later discussion on Dobbs vs Jackson (no relation), the decision in which the court overturned Roe vs Wade as well as Planned Parenthood vs Casey, ending almost 50 years of precedent. We react & discuss the impact on Americans.

In Florida news, the Pride-themed light display on Jacksonville’s Acosta Bridge has seen a bit of controversy in the continued GOP attack on the LGBTQIA community. Also, a South Florida high school yearbook was somehow too “woke” from some parents.

In this episode, get to know your favorite hosts a little more! Super Elsy tells us about a family trip to Ohio, including a little culture shock & sightseeing. Plus, Cyrex had his first performance in quite some time, get the recap!
Ron DeSantis is in his evil bag, trying to out-Trump his GOP peers by passing a bill to keep trans girls from playing girls’ sports. Now, this might sound like nothing new, as Republican governors have been at this all year, but Ron’s doing it his way. We go on to...
2021-06-032h 19The Freak ShowStay Stupid, Stay BrokeBasically their motto…
We open up talking about the ever-changing menus of fast food chains, such as KFC, Burger King, and McDonald’s, each of which we believe has drastically declined in quality over the years. We also reminisce on school & reflect upon our experiences.
Marjorie Greene seems to want all the smoke! She’s out here demanding debates with AOC & comparing mask-mandates to the holocaust. The latter got her lots of backlash even from GOP leadership. Plus, Liz Cheney shows us that she is no better than the Trumpists she condemns in an interview with A...

2021-05-202h 15The Freak ShowAMERICA! On TourYou won’t believe who’s headlining…
On this episode, we talk about more Republican disarray. The GOP House Caucus has removed Liz Cheney from leadership, allegedly not due to her opposition to Trump, but due to her remaining outspoken that the 2020 election was not stolen, something that displeases the new Republican overlord. We go into the pathetic manner in which the party has turned on Cheney while themselves preaching “party unity,” most likely not seeing the irony.
We also have the very out-of-touch Caitlyn Jenner trying to run for California Governor in the midst of the eff...
2021-05-132h 44The Freak ShowThe Star-Spangled MenWith the new hit single, “There’s 50 Now?!”
This week, we’re talking about lots of stuff. We react to Ted Cruz writing an piece in the Wall Street Journal doing a simultaneous finger-wag & grovel to “woke” CEOs of corporations speaking out against GOP voter suppression laws. We also ponder what life must be like for people who live in the “extensions” of prorupted states such as Croatia, Tajikistan, & Namibia.
The GOP stays at it! The Republican-controlled Missouri State Legislature has go against the will of Missouri’s voters and shut down attempts to pay for the Medicaid e...
2021-05-062h 30The Freak ShowThere Was Nothing HereAfter all, it was a blank slate, right?
Sorry not sorry! We HAD to go in about the finale of “The Falcon & the Winter Soldier!” Heavy spoilers ahead! What a riveting time but tread carefully if you’re still watching. Plus a dip into Handmaid’s Tale season 4. Also, we uphold a VERY unpopular opinion regarding Batman movies.
Florida is really trying to be the center of attention with governor Ron DeSantis signing his “anti-riot” bill into law. This law essentially condemns peaceful protests, greatly broadening how the state sees “riots,” among other GOP talking posts come to li...
2021-04-292h 15The Freak ShowParticipation Trophies MatterAt least you showed up…
More spoilers for episode 5 of The Falcon & the Winter Soldier, including a big recap, but the way we do. Things are exciting & there’s just one episode left, but we also continue to discuss the conversations on race the show is trying to have. Jump to minute 37 to avoid spoilers.
We talk quite a bit this week about the trial of the murder of George Floyd. Former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin has been convicted of the murder on all charges. We talk about the case, the reactions, & what this could mean...

This week’s episode will be a bit shorter. Our biggest topic today is Disney+ series The Falcon & the Winter Soldier. We discuss parts of the 1st four episodes, & warn once again that spoilers are ahead. We also discuss some possible backlash the show has faced. We also discuss the Hulu series, The Handmaid’s Tale, whose 4th season begins very soon. To avoid spoilers, cut to our next topics.
More Florida messiness here! We talk about how Matt Gaetz & a Florida lobbyist are being investigated for possibly using a phantom 3rd candid...
2021-04-151h 08The Freak ShowThe PropagondolaThrow me a frickin’ bonus!
So much going on, we had to bring you more! The new Georgia voting law has had lots of backlash, most notably Major League Baseball choosing to remove their 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta. This sent Republicans all across the country into a frenzy crying “cancel culture” & continuing to claim the laws actually expand voter access (spoiler alert: not really).
We also talk about the Million Maskless March in Fort Lauderdale run by ReOpen South Florida, who was also behind a maskless “flash mob” inside a Target, alleging “freedom of choice” despite taking...
2021-04-111h 19The Freak ShowI Like This, I Don’t Like ThatBlack Sheep does not approve of this remix…
On today’s episode, we talk about how the family of Paul Gosar, representative for Arizona’s 4th district, have continuously called Gosar out for his support for the Big Lie regarding the 2020 election, as well as his general lack of competency in serving the people of Arizona. We also discuss far-right hate monger Nick Fuentes, who thinks the GOP isn’t hateful & extreme enough.
Ron DeSantis is at it again! Not only does he have a lucrative relationship with Publix involving donations & vaccinations, but he’s banning re...

Florida stays on the madness! Congressman Matt Gaetz is under DOJ investigation regarding an unlawful intimate relationship as well as possible involvement in sex trafficking. Gaetz denies this & insists it is a smear campaign. Elsewhere in Florida, some people are mad about their favorite Civil War & school name “icon” being removed from the name of a school (spoiler alert: racism).
We talk about Lil Nas X coming under criticism for use of Satanic imagery in his new music video & new shoes, plus South Dakota governor Kristi Noem signing executive orders to exclud...

Today’s planned episode was accidentally deleted due a technical malfunction. But we didn’t wanna leave y’all hanging. We tapped into the vault to bring you a classic Freak Show episode. This was intended to begin the second season of the old Freak Show. Recorded & released in 2018, join Cyrex & Super Elsy as we discuss donuts, battle rap, fast food, Cyrex’s first mixtape #FREEREX, & more!
2021-03-251h 15The Freak ShowFilibusted: 60 Items or LessComing to a C-SPAN near you…
We’re talking about the big COVID relief act known as the American Rescue Plan Act. We talk about what’s in it, what’s not, who hates it, who loves it, who’s trying to take credit, & who’s whining on TV about it. This bill will help a ton of Americans who are really hurting, but that doesn’t stop the right-wing politicians & media from doing what they do. Later, we talk about the filibuster, its ugly history & impudent design, & why it is nothing more than an roadblock to progress (spoi...

We return after a week off to bring y’all the madness. The Dr. Seuss estate has decided to cease publishing 6 of the author’s books that they deemed unfit for the times, & the right wing has lost it, invoking “cancel culture” like always. We discuss this, as well as the 8 Democratic senators who voted with the Republicans in efforts to keep $15 federal minimum wage off the American Rescue Plan.
The GOP has voter suppression fever (again)! They’re showing where their priorities lie with bills in 43 states to ma...
2021-03-111h 45The Freak ShowWhen Nature Messes with TexasIt’s… a bad time…
We’re talking quite a bit today about the Texas storms & subsequent power crisis. Texans have been hurting as a result of these storms coupled with the state’s leadership’s commitment to keeping their power grid deregulated. This prioritization of profits over people has lead to many deaths & millions without food, water, or warmth. We also talk about right-wing responses, especially that of Cancun Cruz, the so-called Senator of the Lone Star State.
We reminisce about children’s shows we used to watch, such as Arthur, The Big Comfy Couch, & Telet...
2021-02-252h 13The Freak ShowSo Far Right, It’s Far WrongLike a car with no left turn signal…
In this episode, we talk about how Dave Chappelle has been gotten back the rights to the license & show name for his seminal hit series “Chappelle’s Show” from ViacomCBS & Comedy Central, & is now being paid residual income, making right the bad deal he got those years ago.
We discuss more right-wing media madness. From Tucker Carlson blaming green energy for Texas’s situation with the ice storms, to Greg Kelly claiming only one person died in the Capitol insurrection, it’s a never ending circus. But the cake goe...
2021-02-181h 55The Freak ShowSo Bad I Almost Had to Crawl Back into Bed& start my whole day all over…
We discuss Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial & a hilariously nonsensical opening from his attorney Bruce Castor. We even react to individual wacky pieces. Speaking of nonsense, Marjorie Taylor Greene is at it again after being removed from her House committee assignments. Also, more reactions to trolls.
We also touch on the lawsuits by Smartmatic vs Fox, Giuliani & more. Also, Matt Gaetz continues to teeter the line between eager Trump sidekick & gross yuppie stereotype. Also, a name correction: Rockefeller Republicans were named for former NY Governor & VP (under Ford) Nelson Rock...
2021-02-112h 26The Freak ShowFlorida Man Does It Again!Welcome to the Sunshine… wait…
On this episode, we discuss lots of Florida weirdness. This includes Publix heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli having donated 60% of the backing for Trump’s January 6th rally that preceded the insurrection. Also, State Senator Jeff Brandes has introduced a bill to weaken the minimum wage increase bill that just passed with great voter support, adversely affecting many workers such as younger workers and those convicted of a felony. Governor Ron DeSantis has to get in on it too with a bill to fine social media companies for banning accounts of political figures for sp...

Join us as we give a bit of a recap on the first week of Joe Biden’s presidency. We list off several executive orders, many meant to undo damage done by Former President Trump. Doesn’t it feel nice to call Trump the former president?
SPOILER ALERT! We also discuss the first 3 episodes of WandaVision, the first show in the MCU’s Phase Four, following Avengers: Endgame & Spider-Man: Far From Home. If you wish to avoid spoilers, you may wanna skip that section early on. More shows we discuss incl...

Join us for the final episode of the Trump years. When you hear this episode, Joe Biden will be president, & Kamala Harris will be vice-president. We discuss the historical cycles America has caught itself in, & how detached present American society seems to be from what is truly recent history. Also, we go in on some of these Republican traitors, such as Parkland massacre denier & QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene, who announced plans to introduce impeachment articles for Joe Biden on January 21st.
We r...
2021-01-212h 17The Freak ShowImagine Being Impeached Twice... Oh Wait...Is it January 14th or December 45th?
We continue our reaction to the January 6th attempted coup by rabid MAGA supporters, covering how more & more of these traitors’ names are coming out, which ain’t surprising considering many of them proudly posted themselves on social media participating in a terrorist siege. Several Republican elected officials, including Mo Brooks of Alabama, had a role in this insurrection, & over 100 Congress Republicans continued to protest the counting of the electoral votes as the attack was happening!
We take a look at some COVID numbers from various countries, & we’d like...
2021-01-141h 44The Freak ShowCoup! There It Is!We come to you with a BONUS EPISODE! We had to react to the terrorist siege upon the Capitol Building. On January 6th, 2021, countless MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol building to impede the counting of the electoral votes by Congress in an attempted coup d’état. This domestic terrorist attack by far-right extremists was essentially encouraged by Donald Trump & his false allegations of election fraud.
We react to this insurrection, the right-wing’s attempt’s to flip the narrative in favor of Trump supporters, the Republican traitors who objected to the electoral college count, & more surrounding this.

We couldn’t end this insane turbulent year without coming through with some more laughs & thoughts. We got more reactions to people spreading dumb (wrong) opinions on social media. We got more craziness with the election claims, especially right-wing media having to take back their statements on Smartmatic lest they risk a lawsuit from the company. We got more talk about the Congress conflict on stimulus checks. And much more!

Speaking of Florida, we go into FL-13 Congressman Charlie Crist speaking out against the mismanagement of a retirement home that led to deaths of residents & staff. We also talk about the continued confusion surrounding faith of elections, especially in Georgia, where both Senate seats are up for grabs in the runoff elec...

We go on to condemn Jared Kushner for his comments of the success of African Americans. Then we talk about the confirmation of the "Originalist" Amy Coney Barrett.
We talk more about how we believe "pro-life" is used as a code word for "pro-birth," & our views thereof. Spoiler: we are 100% pro-choice.

Next, brief discussion of the innate flaws with the U.S. Senate, as well as our 2 cents on the Senate race between 20-year Marine pilot Amy McGrath & the nefarious Mitch McConnell. Also...

Rest in Peace to the Honorable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. May we honor her wish.
Cyrex & Super Elsy discuss Justice Ginsburg's contributions, especially women's rights, Jane Doe of Roe v. Wade, & later a discussion of fascism, and how the rhetoric of the Trump administration seems well-headed in that direction. With right-wing extremism being condoned & allowed to run rampant, it's more important than ever that you get out and vote. Your rights may depend on it.

2020-06-071h 44The Freak ShowDonald vs Donald: Quarantined in the Mickey Mouse ClubhouseWe're back with more updates and rants about the Coronavirus pandemic and how celebrity politicians react!
