Blank Propaganda MachineMass Debate: Which is Better? - Having a Tail vs Ability to FlyOn this week's episode, moderator Jed kicks off the weirdest episode yet with a question pulled straight from a late-night YouTube rabbit hole and the deranged mind of Christopher Walken: Would you rather have a tail…or the ability to fly? Yes, really. Confusion builds immediately as Kirk, representing Team Flying, argues for flight the only way he knows how - through pure laziness and cheapness, saying it’d cut down on gas money and stairs. Meanwhile, Kraig latches onto Team Tail like a desperate possum in mating season, citing Splinter from TMNT as proof that tails bring wisdom, stre...

Kraig bravely moderates a cultural cage match between two armies of deranged devotion , as Jed paints Swifties as sparkly-eyed demolition goblins who descend on cities like bedazzled locusts, causing traffic jams, and destroying souls. But guest debater Jason counters with the cold hard truth: Juggalos burn tires for warmth, drink up all the Faygo, and wear clown makeup unironically.
