Irreverent TestimonyCOVID Relief, Cancel Culture, and "Nice Guys"It's a smorgasbord of randomness as we just let it fly. On the brink of mass vaccination for COVID Republicans defiantly read Green Eggs and Ham as if anyone is trying to stop them, we discuss the phenomenon of "nice guys" and how when a guy tells you he is one you should run screaming, and there's so much anti-Semitism and racism in gaming culture people might not even know when they're regurgitating it. 2021-03-141h 32Irreverent TestimonySadly predictable.. Dems go half-ass on ImpeachmentSigh... Did we just get rolled again? Probably. What do you think McConnell promised this time? A pony? A trip to Disney? No witnesses and now vacation time for the Senate. I could use a vacation. Also, we get into Marjorie Taylor Greene's sex life to tell you not to.. Yea, it was a week y'all. 2021-02-1455 minIrreverent TestimonyJewish Space Laser engage!Looking forward to people looking at this one if 2 years and wondering what the hell was with the title. So it goes with the come and go news cycles. Anyway, we're almost 2 weeks into the Biden Admin and he sure isn't acting like a centrist. Also a move review and some general kvetching. 2021-01-311h 18Irreverent TestimonyIf you have an insurrection lasting more than 4 hours, call a doctorSo, that happened. And here we thought the GA Senate races would be the big news. Or you know, the pandemic killing 4000+ a day. But, no. We finally had a near-revolution. In service of a mobbed up reality show star. What a country. 2021-01-102h 02Irreverent TestimonyPlanes, Trains, and Automobiles movie commentaryWhy not a Thanksgiving movie commentary?

We also get into politics, and how progressives shouldn't be too eager to give the Democratic party a blank check.

Other topics include religion and the pandemic.2020-04-2500 minIrreverent TestimonyReproductive Rights in the age of COVID-19As if there wasn't enough to worry about, a deadly pandemic isn't stopping anti-choices crusaders from doing, well.. what they do. In fact, many see it as an opportunity to curtail rights. Today Karen Middleton and Justine Sandoval from Cobalt Colorado (Formerly CO NARAL) join us to discuss these challenges, and the ones that don't stop, pandemic or not.

2020-04-1900 minIrreverent TestimonyYou're not respecting the quarantine, idiots..Sigh. Well, most are, but.. we kvetch about our dumb neighbors who aren't, then we kvetch about Star Trek: Picard. It's a kvetch-fest. Join us, won't you?2020-04-1400 minIrreverent TestimonyRespect the quarantine you idiots..Sigh... you know where this is going. 1st half is all COVID all the time, 2nd half we give some TV/movie/book recommendations while we're all (hopefully) quarantined. Seriously. 2020-03-2300 minIrreverent TestimonyOur parents might get Coronavirus to spite us..Seriously. It;s hard to explain what a dumb place we're in right now. Speaking of which, the most talented, qualified, prepared candidate on the Dem race drops out, much to our chagrin, and we explain why Biden has vaulted to an insurmountable advantage. 2020-03-1000 minIrreverent TestimonyPandemic on the way, who's in charge?Apparently, no one. So we're here to provide some knowledge and guidance on how to protect yourself, and if necessary, keep the virus from spreading to others (because even if you get it, you'll probably be ok). Meanwhile we've entered the part of the DEM primary where everyone gets stupid. So we have some things to say about that. 2020-03-0200 minIrreverent TestimonyThe state of the race with Greg DworkinWe last did this in 2016, and now we have a whole lot of angst to heap on Greg about Mike Bloomberg and the erasure of Elizabeth Warren. And we.. well, we discuss it. A lively back and forth, as we express the misgivings of people in our age cohort. Buckle up. 2020-02-2100 minIrreverent TestimonyPlease don't make us vote for this f'n guy..You know the one.. Yea him. No we're not "never" Bloomberg, but, we're damn close. Don't make us do it. Meanwhile there's a bunch of other stuff that's pissing Rachel off, so listen to us kvetch some more. You love it. 2020-02-1700 minIrreverent TestimonyThe fix is in (what did you expect, a$$hole?)We're back, and we get to the Kabuki theater that is impeachment in the US Senate. Then we get into the Dem primary and some Colorado politics. And we get salty. Big surprise, huh?2020-02-0600 minIrreverent TestimonyBang those war drums baby..Oh boy we go again. The "mainstream" and "liberal" media join Fox in rubbing themselves raw in anticipation of another big juicy war to cover, while our dads tell us this was really a great move and this guy they had never heard of until we assassinated him was a really bad guy who was about to drone their suburban 3/2 ranch style house on .25 acres, and then you'd be sorry! Meanwhile, SCOTUS is primed to possibly overturn Roe this summer but you probably haven't heard about that. Yea, there's that too. Otherwise, it's a great start to the year. 2020-01-0700 minIrreverent TestimonyScrooged movie commentarySince last year's Die Hard movie commentary was such a hit, this year we decided to do the same for 1988's Scrooged starring Bill Murray.
To sync the commentary with the movie, start this track as soon as you see the Paramount Logo. 2019-12-2500 minIrreverent TestimonySome Xmas JambalayaWe give you some of everything here. Talking about the fake War on Christmas, how JK Rowling is an obnoxious hateful TERF, a movie review, and Rachel even calls Terry Gross the c-word. Oh, and there's a state rep in Washington planning an armed takeover of the federal government. So that's nice. Also a lil bit o' impeachment, 2019-12-2500 minIrreverent TestimonyI guess we're losing the war on ChristmasThere's f'n Christmas sh*t everywhere... like every year. Damn. Maybe next year we'll stop it. anyway, the Dem debate is endanger as workers where it's supposed to held are striking, and our party doesn't cross picket lines. Meanwhile Cenk Uygur is a misogynist creep and he can go f- himself. Yea, @ me, bros. Oh and some more impeachment stuff. 2019-12-1900 minIrreverent TestimonyHere come the holidays..Travis is back from tour and we prep for confronting our parents during the holidays and give some tips on how to without losing your mind. We start it off with some history about the Black Panthers (just like dad likes to talk about), and the cops shooting up civilians during rush hour in Miami, among other things. Oh yea and some impeachment stuff too. 2019-12-1900 minIrreverent TestimonyCatching up..You all get a two-fer as we combine the last two weeks' episodes into one handy download. Lucky you. We discuss some local stuff, the Rodney Reed saga, why we're not at all worried about the Dem primary field (and we how most definitely do not need some centrist rich guy savior to ride to the rescue).. and yea, sure we get to a lil impeachment. 2019-11-1900 minIrreverent TestimonyTurning the page...We experiment with a bit of a new format, not trying to tick every box for the news of the week but instead doing some deeper dives into some topics we want to discuss and some under the radar stuff.. Like it? Hate it? Meh? Let us know. First topic: Teen Vogue. Told you it was different.. 2019-10-2900 minIrreverent TestimonyRights under assaultDon't look now but the Supreme Court is poised to roll back LGBTQ+ rights decades, and the only question is whether they will drop a political hornets nest and contradict themselves right before an election. Meanwhile there's a building class war and guess which class is the aggressor. Also a brief update on impeachment. 2019-10-1600 minIrreverent TestimonyDown the rabbit hole we go..How deep does this Ukraine thing go? Let's ask Rudy. We also dig into the text messages between Volker and Trump's rich asshole buddy who got the EU ambassador gig for no reason other than.. well.. being Trump's rich asshole friend. Buckle up. 2019-10-1100 minIrreverent TestimonyAnd... it's officialImpeachment is officially underway, and we give you the basics. How did we get here, what happens next, etc. Then we get into some local and state stuff.. because, well it's our podcast and we make the rules. 2019-10-0300 minIrreverent TestimonyThe Tipping Point..We start this one off with, fittingly, a movie review about a whistleblower working in government intelligence. And, well, Cheetoh may have stepped in it this time. Might we finally get to I word Pelosi hisses at like a startled alley cat whenever she hears it? Meanwhile, we delve into "cancel culture" and how the backlash to it, if it's a real thing, sure reeks of excuse-making for sexism and child rape. 2019-09-2600 minIrreverent Testimony**200th Episode Spectacular with Sarah Burris**Yup, we've made 200 of these.. Time flies. Raw Story's Sarah Burris joins us as we kvetch about this and that, dish some Trump family gossip, lament some social injustice, and discuss the Dem primary. Oh, we also coin a new species of insect. Lets get #BretBug trending. 2019-09-0100 minIrreverent TestimonyWorld on fire (literally)Everything is burning and people are starting to wake up to it.. but it may be too late. In other news the president continues to decompensate and we're here for it, whether we want to be or not. Another uplifting episode for the entire family!2019-08-2800 minIrreverent TestimonyIt's a real shitshow out thereRussia is burning and irradiated, Hong Kong is in chaos, Kashmir is heating up, climate change is heating everything up, but meanwhile here it's just business as usual with mass shooting and heartless ICE raids. We manage to cover it all and then some.. more or less. 2019-08-1500 minIrreverent TestimonyInching towards impeachment...As Dem leadership wobbles and careens in that direction, tepidly. Meanwhile Trump is a racist, and a fascist, and things are getting scary. Also some Epstein updates and border concentration camps (an American citizen was detained for 23 days and conservatives think that's cool, yo.)2019-07-2900 minIrreverent TestimonyTrump's obsession with "The Squad" is getting creepy..It's like when two people in your social circle go on a bad date and it lights up your Facebook feed for like a day, but then a week later the dude is still obsessing over it all over his timeline... In other news, we discuss police brutality, Trump's concentration camps and this n that. 2019-07-2500 minIrreverent TestimonyEpstein on trial and Trump is still a racistWe cover the ongoing trial of Trump's running buddy and then we cover Trump's racist bile hurled at 4 freshman House members for what it is, sans savvy beltway insider analysis of whether it's politically good or bad for him. 2019-07-1700 minIrreverent TestimonyYea, we have a crush on Megan Rapinoe too..We discuss the USWNT, who wins all the time, and the pay gap between them and the men, who most decidedly do not win all the time, along with some of the right wing reaction to these opinionated uppity ladies.... who win all the time. That and other odds and ends and the state of the Dem primary and whatnot, but mostly about soccer, as this is a sports-intensive podcast. 2019-07-1100 minIrreverent Testimony1st Dem Debate recapAnd we cover EVERY single friggin candidate. Yea, even Williamson. Then the atrocities against asylum seekers and other stuff we're extra grumpy about. 2019-07-0400 minIrreverent TestimonyYes they're concentration camps, and they're on US soilWhile we argue the semantics, real kids are sick and dying in Border Patrol custody. We discuss things we can and must do to resist. Meanwhile there's a Dem debate coming and another Trump rape victim comes forward, but you might not know it if you watched the Sunday morning politics shows. Another uplifting episode for you. 2019-06-2400 minIrreverent TestimonyName that candidateHappy Pride! Some stuff about that, then we test our knowledge of every single Dem candidate taking the debate stage in 12 days. We know more than we thought. Then the latest on Orange Man and his never-ending crime spree. 2019-06-1800 minIrreverent TestimonySummer's here, and reproductive rights are under total assaultSo, we scream and carry on about that. Meanwhile, Dem leadership is slow-playing impeachment because they're about 30 years in the past, so we scream and carry on about that. Rachel tries to go for 5+ swear words a minute. 2019-06-0500 minIrreverent TestimonyGet your Gilead handmaid gowns pressed and ready...Our good friend and movement warrior extraordinaire Emma Lee joins us to lament the current state of affairs in reproductive rights. Spoiler: it's fuckin scary. And infuriating. And hopefully political poisonous. Meanwhile Trump and his minions keep laughing manically while wiping their asses with various pages of the Constitution, to which Dem leadership says "wait for 2020." Sound stupid? It is! 2019-05-2100 minIrreverent TestimonyMeh.. it's just the Constitution and the fate of the republicPelosi and Dem establishment just kind of shrug while Trump and his minions wipe their ass with Constitution parchment then set them aflame (for now) and say "see you in 2020.. if we still have a functioning Republic!" Meanwhile an update on Chelsea Manning and lots of Colorado stuff. 2019-05-1300 minIrreverent TestimonyBiden jumps in.... yay?Joe is in and we.... have some thoughts on that. Meanwhile, a state judge defies ICE commandeering her courtroom and pays the price, Rachel scrutinizes Travis for his unprofessionality in scarfing down a burrito on the air, and we kvetch about Bernie some more. 2019-05-0100 minIrreverent TestimonyHappy 420.. whateverNo we don't partake so we don't really care. Meanwhile we get into some other stuff besides Muellerpallooza (don't worry, we get to that in the 2nd half). Does anyone remember an 18 year old girl drove from Miami to Denver to shoot up Columbine High? Yea that happened. Other stuff too. Check it out. 2019-04-2400 minIrreverent TestimonyBiden's non-apology apology and some stuff.Uncle Joe tries some damage control but forgets the "control" part, Some other guys are running whether you know or care (you probably don't), tackling white supremacy in your local arts scene, and is it possible to talk sense to anti-vaccers? 2019-04-0900 minIrreverent TestimonyA new movie review, Barr report/whitewashing progress, touchy feely Joe Biden..And a bunch more on Chelsea Manning, who is not getting nearly enough coverage. Spolier: Don't believe what you read and here. 2019-04-0400 minIrreverent TestimonyMueller's done, and the work begins.Barr releases a terse memo that says nothing, so naturally Trump yells exoneration and the media agrees. We dissect what this might mean and what it doesn't, all from a vacation spot in the mountains. The things we do for you..2019-03-3000 minIrreverent TestimonyMassacre in New Zealand, 2020 Dem field, more..We try to unpack the massacre at the mosques in New Zealand, and peoples' reaction to it, along with updates on the emerging Dem POTUS field, Trump's veto, and stuff. 2019-03-1700 minIrreverent TestimonyChelsea Manning is back in jailConveniently, right after Bill Barr is confirmed as AG, Chelsea Manning is back on the DOJ's radar. We break it down, and let you know what you can do to show support.

Or at least, as many names as we could think of and get in to a 90 minute segment. Then Rachel and Trav delve into the Cohen testimony and various other current stuff.
Find them here on Twitter: https://twitter.com/IMHoppingMad2019-03-0500 minIrreverent TestimonyRBG movie review, WTF is happening in Virginia, and other stuff..We're not Ebert and Roper but you'll listen anyway. Then we dissect the clusterfuck in Virginia, and some various other clusterfucks. Plenty abound. 2019-02-1400 minIrreverent TestimonyHoward Schultz sucks, and other musings..The worst campaign rollout in history is underway and the media can't get enough of trying to make it interesting. It isn't. Meanwhile, we're 2 weeks away from another potential shutdown, or something, and Rachel has a whole bunch of other stuff that's been under the radar. 2019-02-0800 minIrreverent TestimonyI shut the government down for 35 days and all I got was this lousy...
A long one as we talk all things end of shutdown (for now), then get into some local CO and under the radar stuff around the country. So buckle in.. this one's a doozy. 2019-01-3100 minIrreverent TestimonyEndgame?The shutdown has to end sometime.. doesn't it? Let's dive in. Meanwhile, other stuff happening and Rachel is mad about stuff. No we're not mailing this one in.. are we?2019-01-2600 minIrreverent TestimonyAnd..... we're still shut downWe're now into the longest government shutdown ever and The President thinks that's just awesome. Meanwhile he might just name himself king, and he's definitely a Russian agent. Also, Steve King is still racist and his GOP colleagues are finally pretending to notice and care. How's it going, GOP? 2019-01-1400 minIrreverent TestimonyHappy New YearThe President is a foreign agent and he's shutting the government down to get his racist wall, but how are you?2019-01-1400 minIrreverent TestimonyGoodbye 2018It's our year in review extravaganza.. with some shutdown shenanigan updates for good measure. Bye 2018. It's been... something. 2019-01-0200 minIrreverent TestimonyDie Hard movie commentaryWell, yes, Die Hard is a Christmas move, period, and we do a running commentary for you.. 'cause why not?
To watch the movie and follow along, start this track as soon as the 20th Century Fox logo appears on the screen. 2018-12-2400 minIrreverent TestimonyAnd... it's another shutdownTrump says he wants a shutdown, gets it, then says it's all Dems fault, and The Hill et al. dutifully yell about "both sides." So whatever.. this should work out great. Meanwhile, the wheels are coming off, total chaos, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria, etc. 2018-12-2400 minIrreverent TestimonyOh look, the dog caught car again..A wacko judge in Texas declared the entire ACA unconstitutional, which likely means.. well, nothing, for now. And Republicans.. rejoice? Doubtful. Meanwhile Rachel enlightens us as to gross injustice in the ironic era of conservatives pretending to care about victims of trafficking and sex crimes and Trump is so deep in the shit with Mueller it's surprising we can see his yellow mop head peak out from the top.. 2018-12-1900 minIrreverent TestimonyThe wolves are at the door..Things are heating up for Individual 1, but before that we discuss how some gross overreaction the name of trafficking might change social media forever, crazy racist ladies cutting students' hair without their consent, and some various this n that. I know you all tune in for the this n that. Oh.. and there's some Mueller stuff for ya. 2018-12-1100 minIrreverent TestimonyMatt Whitaker's Big D*ck Toilet, a movie review, and stuff..And no, thankfully, the movie review is unrelated to Matt Whitaker's Big D*ck Toilet.. but it is about a guy putting his d*ck places that got him in trouble. So it's sort of an episode all about d*cks. What can we say?2018-11-2900 minIrreverent TestimonyThe day after...The midterms are done, and well, we survived. At least physically, our sanity is another story. We break it all down for you: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the bizarre. And then, just today, Jeff Sessions gets the boot and liberals are... upset about that (for good reason!) What a time to be alive. 2018-11-0800 minIrreverent TestimonyThe home stretchThe last podcast before we either get the triage we desperately need in the form of a House flip, or a further (and rapid) slide into fascism. Not that there's much at stake.. Meanwhile, some bozos famous for internet conspiracy theories try to frame Robert Mueller for rape and it goes about as well as you'd expect. 2018-11-0500 minIrreverent TestimonyNow it's bullets and bombsWe unpack the would-be mail bomber, and the white supremacist who successfully shot up a synagogue. No witty puns here.. I'm kind of out of them. 2018-10-3000 minIrreverent TestimonyKavanaugh - the aftermathWe apologize for being off the air last week. It was just a bit too much to process. But we're back, and we break down what was more or less inevitbale, Jeff Flake's histrionics aside. Also, we discuss the chutzpah of regimes like the one in Saudi Arabia to just off journalists they don't like in the age of Trump, and yea, climate change is totoally going to fuck us, and we're way past the debate stage. Time for mitigation, to whatever extent we can. It's a cheerful episode. So walk on sunshine with us and stuff. 2018-10-1500 minIrreverent TestimonyKavanaugh update -after the hearing and North Dakota Water Rights updateFirst, Rachel recounts her trip to North Dakota, just for fun. Kidding of course, literally no one goes to North dakota for fun. She was helping with the legal case for the Standing Rock Water Rights protestors, and has a lot of interesting insight. A story that, had it not been in the midst of a presidential race, would have been a huge national story. Next, we recap Dr. Chrstine Blasey Ford's testimony to Congress and Kavanaugh's, and oh dear, are there things to discuss..
Here are the links Rachel mentioned in the first half of the p...2018-10-0300 minIrreverent TestimonyKavanaugh status 9/22/18And here's where we are as of Saturday 9/22/18. It's getting grosser and grosser.. 2018-09-2700 minIrreverent TestimonyKavanaugh status 9/15/18Go back in time with us (sorry!) as we start to unravel the shitstorm that is the Kavanaugh nomination. 2018-09-2700 minIrreverent TestimonyThe Kavanaugh show hearings..Rachel rants about how we got to this no-win point and Bob Woodward has a new book. Also, Barry's back and the gloves are off, for what it's worth. 2018-09-1100 minIrreverent TestimonyRIP John McCain, and stuff..We dissect the love/lament of the passing of John McCain, and our feeling are.. well.. complicated. Also the sex assault cover-up industry is at it again and there's a prison strike you probably didn't hear about because, well, it's just prisoners so who cares? They don't even go to rural diners. I mean, they might, if they weren't in prison enduring slave labor. 2018-09-0100 minIrreverent TestimonyWe moved again, have a new album, and oh yea.. politics stuff.Manafort is convicted, Cohen be flippin (it seems) and other fun and frivolity..
Buy my band's album: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/marriedadeadman2018-09-0100 minIrreverent TestimonyThe Nazis are back (and one party thinks that's fine)The tiki torchers are back, but disorganized and infighting, but there's a hell of a lot more organized resitance this time. It's not going to end well for them. Meanwhile sexism is still alive and well in politcs and rock music, and our own city is in the spotlight. 2018-08-1300 minIrreverent TestimonyThere are tapesWell then.. Michael Cohen had a taping fetish.. let's see where this goes. Meanwhile, the administration missed the deadline (again) for reuniting seperated children from their parents, many of whom it looks like were deported. We can't just move on from this.. so we don't. Also a bunch of other awful stuff and bla bla you know the drill. 2018-07-3100 minIrreverent TestimonyHell-sinki...Trump goes all the way to Helsinki to meet Putin and all we got was this lousy treason. At least, that's what we know about. Lord knows what they discussed in private. Meanwhile, everyhing else is also terrible. How's your summer?2018-07-2500 minIrreverent TestimonySCOTUS talk and the border (baby jail) crisis and whatnot with MollyYou remember Molly, right? Well you should. She's amazeballs and she's back to give her insight on how damaging and awful Trump's baby jails and forced family seperation policy is. Then we discuss SCOTUS and terrifying the future is for.. well.. anyone who doesn't look like the next SCOTUS justice. It's a heavy one. Drink up. 2018-07-1700 minIrreverent TestimonyDershowitz Dershowitz DershowitzDershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz. Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz? Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz, Dershowitz Dershowitz. Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz! Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz. Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz. Dershowitz Dershowitz Dershowitz!!!!!
Dershowitz2018-07-1700 minIrreverent TestimonyPride Week and border atrocitiesApparently Trump and Republicans have decided ripping screaming kids away from their parents seeking asylum is a good look, and hat tip susan Sarandon, this is sure better than a Clinton Presidency and something something Wall Street speeches. Elections have consequences. But in better news, Rachel's back so you'll actually want to listen to this one. 2018-06-1900 minIrreverent TestimonyTrav Solo: A Rachel's sick storyAnd it'll probably be as big a disappoint with audiences... heyo.. Yea sorry, it's just me as Rachel's under the weather and busy and I'm so sorry, she'll be back this week. Meanwhile, Ivanka's hunky Russian eightlifter "friend" promises her naming and design rights to her own spa in the Trump Tower Moscow and tells Michael Cohen to handle it, but he's got his own deal going, they both fail, and this was all happening DURING THE F'NG CAMPAIGN. So whatever YOYO nothing matters. 2018-06-1600 minIrreverent TestimonyClearing up the Border Patrol controversiesThe media, as usual, is gunning for headline clickbait over facts, so you might be confused about the 2 latest scandals involving Border Patrol and ICE, and we try to help make some sense of it. Later, the Stupid Summit wherein Kim tells Trump how big has hands are and we get nothing of strategic value is set to go on as (previously, before being cancelled last week) planned so maybe don't smelt your commemorative coins just yet. Also, Trump's lawyers send a letter to Mueller saying you can't subpoena him, which means it's inevitable he will be subpoenaed, but...2018-06-0300 minIrreverent TestimonyWherein we survive an outing to Chuck E Cheese...And must podcast the night before. Rachel gets some inside info on labor issues at Planned Parenthood of The Rockies and we try to catch up on an awful, scary, horrifying week.(Yes, knowing we have to go Chuck E Cheese Saturday morning, but also, news of the world).2018-05-2900 minIrreverent TestimonyFinal Boss Battle?So now, almost entirely out of options, we're back to "ZOMG OBAMA WAS SPYING ON US!" Good luck with that. Our friend Sandy the lawyer joins us to decode all this and a bunch of other stuff, so tune in! wait, if you're reading this, you already have. So never mind. 2018-05-2100 minIrreverent TestimonyThanks a lot, RudyGiuliani can't stop running his mouth and getting his client in more trouble and Michael Cohen has already gotten his client in big trouble, oh and by the way one of us got held up at gunpoint and assaulted.. How was your week?2018-05-1500 minIrreverent TestimonyThe DCCC CO-ntroversy (I did a thing there) and Incels and stuff. Yea it's gross.Slow week.. not much happened.. so we talked for like 2 and 1/2 hours. Incels are a terrirst group and we get deep into it and before the we unpack some of the local realites of the Steny Hoyer/Intercept DCCC fiasco garbage fire crap. Grab a stiff drink or 3. 2018-05-0100 minIrreverent TestimonyAwful press and endless scandal = Job Security (if you work for Trump)Scott Pruitt? Seemingly EPA Director for life. Ronnie Jackson? hold that hill.. Ben Carson? Not going anywhere. And don't get me started on Kushner. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, a federal prosecutor during the Paleozoic Era, is now gonna play defense attorney for Trump, because why the hell not? 2018-04-2700 minIrreverent TestimonyMichael Cohen is in a world of shitBut Scott Pruitt still has a job cause lol nothing matters, you know the drill.. 2018-04-1200 minIrreverent TestimonyAnother unarmed black man shot, and....a collective shrug from White America. We promise not to get hung up on one topic because there's so much to cover, but then we do, so too bad. We also do a brief movie review for a movie you've never heard of and won't see, so you're welcome for that. Also some other stuff and whatever who cares. 2018-04-0200 minIrreverent TestimonyThe backlash to school massacre survivors having opinions..The March for Our Lives happened, and it really made the gun-loving right very uncomfortable. So now these kids are "bulles" and Nazis." It's sp predictable it's hadly worth expounding on, so I won't (well, not here in the description anyway). Meanwhile, John Bolton is named nat sec advisor because Trump isn't an idealogue like Hillary the warmonger and bla bla bla.. I don't ficking know man. 2018-04-0200 minIrreverent TestimonyHappy St. Patrick's Day (everything is pure chaos)And much like people all over this great nation tonight, the state of the county has basically been reduced to muttering about missing its ex (President) in a pool of its own vomit in a back alley somewhere. So much to covoer for this one, so... just friggin listen already. 2018-03-1800 minIrreverent TestimonyStormy WeatherWill a sloppy porn star hush money scheme be the thing that finally sticks to Cheetoh Von Fuckstick? Maybe, but not before he decides on a whim he'll sit down Kim Jong Un with no advance planning, clear agenda, or letting the foreign relations aparatus know what the hell's going on. What could go wrong? 2018-03-1800 minIrreverent TestimonyMad Testimony (tariffs and whatnot)Will and Arliss from Hopping Mad (https://imhoppingmad.com/) join us for a special mid-week show to discuss tarrifs, the economy, common misconceptions about trade deficits and economic jargon, and Democrats' awful messaging about thrse realites. You might need some hard liquoe for this one. 2018-03-0900 minIrreverent TestimonyHe went to Jared! (To launder money and a tax cut)So Kushner is pretty f*cked, but I'm sure Trump will keep him around way longer than necessary to maximize the damage. Also, we get heavy into some bat-shit crazy local and state politics, so try not to fall asleep, and yea a whole lot more Mueller/Trump/russia tidbits. Finally, we clear up some out of context statements from last show about a lovely Western European ski resort nation we probably couldn't find on a map. Sorry about that. 2018-03-0600 minIrreverent TestimonySorry about your NRA discount, dad...I guess basking in the blood of children is bad PR after all as more businesses cut their NRA ties by the minute. Meanwhile, more Mueller indictment fallout and Schiff releases the Nunes is Actually Full of Shit memo, which at this point is like trying to argue with Flat Earthers. Is there a point, really? 2018-02-2700 minIrreverent TestimonyAnother mass shooting, more thoughts and prayers..Well this is all familiar isn't it? Not sure even what else to say at this point, except that the victims/survivors of this latest massacre have had enough, and they're doing something about it. Also, Mueller indicts 13 Russians for the election meddling and Trump and co. think that's good news for him, cause MAGA something. 2018-02-2100 minIrreverent TestimonyOk time for the other memo.... nah..Trump blocks the Dem response to Nunes memo.. memo... because national security or some bullshit lol whatever nothing matters, meanwhile a budget passes despite Rand Paul's grandstanding and the DREAMers are left to twist in the wind but whatever cause lol nothing matters and as a result some progressives might just sit out 2018 and let the blood-sucking ghouls hold on to power for a while longer because that'll show 'em, cause.. you get it.. 2018-02-1300 minIrreverent TestimonyI got your memo right here..Is the Nunes memo the biggest case of conservative blue balls since they discovered Nailin' Palin was just a porn parody and not a leaked sex tape? We say yes. We also abandon all this mannered poli-speak and get crude about it.. so hide grandma and listen in. 2018-02-0600 minIrreverent TestimonyA plethora of crap..We got a gross pervy rapist doctor being sentenced to life for molesting Olympic gymnasts, the RNC's finance chair is a gross pervy rapist, the gross pervy rapist President did in fact try to fire Mueller last year, and hell, even Hillary Clinton had a gross perv (although not allegedly a rapist) in her midst in 2008, which she handled questionably. I didn't think this week's episode necessarily had a theme, but there it is.. 2018-01-2900 minIrreverent TestimonyShut it DownThe government shutdown with one party in control of everything and I got is this lousy both sides narrative. Also, this year's Women's March is just as big as the first one. So there's that. We'll likely be re-visiting the first topic in a few weeks. 2018-01-2900 minIrreverent TestimonyThe myth of the NCAA "Student Athlete"Today we have on former University of Miami football player Austin Pfenninger to discuss life as an FBS fotball player, the lack of athlete compensation, the major gaps in healthcare, and the conflict of interest in treating player injuries and the push to get injured players back on the field.
Later we touch on the fire and fury over Fire and Fury, the book Trump hates so much that he can't help but remind everyone every 5 minutes exists, and then embodies every trait clamied in the book he denies. So much 5-dimensional chess with this guy. Also, y...2018-01-1500 minIrreverent TestimonyGoodbye 2017. You sucked assWell, that sure sucked. We recap the year that was 2017 and rifle through some current-ish events. What more is there to say? 2017 made 2016 look like a party. Will 2018 be better? it almost can't help but be, but prepare for the worst with us. 2018-01-0400 min
