    Episode 571: Trump Cashes In

    Episode 571: Trump Cashes In

    This week, Lisa David Olsen joins the idiots to mock all that’s in the news.



    00:00 Welcome!

    00:56 Iran vs. Israel

    03:33 Trump Owns Republican Party 

    13:17 Trump media

    18:37 Maxwell Azzarello

    25:50 Jesus vs. LGBTQ

    29:29 Breakdancing in the Olympics



    The breakdown:



    —Last week, nathan said it looked like Iran’s “show of force” against Israel was all image, and BOOM! He was right. Iran launched their missiles, then said, “We showed them!” 



    Of course, Israel had to respond to that, because apparently you can’t just take a W in the Middle East, so now we’re kinda in a holding pattern.



    —This is delicious… The Trump campaign now says that any Republican candidate who runs on Trump’s name… HAS TO PAY ROYALTIES TO THE DONALD.



    Honestly, we’re stunned he didn’t think of this sooner. It is genius, though. Donald Trump is the name, the face, the everything of the Republican Party, so if you want to associate with him, you should have to give a little kickback to the Donfather.



    Side conversations in this segment include Arizona’s new abortion law, and how Democrats win in Alabama.



    —Sure, the stock price of Trump Social (or Truth Social or whatever it is) lost over half its value since being released… but why would Donald care about that? It’s all found money to him. Sure, stupid investors are losing their butts, but that’s just hilarious. Oh, you trusted a Trump business? Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Casino, and Trump Airline didn’t give you a heads up as to how all Trump businesses do?



    Still, when you’re starting with zero, anything above that is a win. 



    So, Trump is technically kicking ass, because it’s all found money.



    Side conversations here include My Pillow Guy Michael J. Lindell, and his ability to draw more crowds as a speaker than many celebrities.



    —The best headline I saw regarding conspiracy theorist nutbag Maxwell Azzarello was, “Florida Man Lights Self on Fire.” They had to throw in the Florida part, and God bless them for it. His manifesto showed such a unique brand of crazy, it’s not to be believed.



    —Churches everywhere are losing members, and more and more often, it’s because they hold antiquated, idiotic views regarding gay people. What does that cost them? Money. A new article showed a breakdown of spending by a Methodist gathering, and funds are dipping. 



    —The Olympics have their finger on the pulse! They are in touch with the zeitgeist. They are allowing breakdancing, which was big in the 1980s, to be a part of the modern games.



    Well done, Olympics!

    Episode 570: Next Up, WW3

    Episode 570: Next Up, WW3

    This week, Anthony Eugenio joins the idiots to mock all that’s in the news.



    00:00 Welcome!

    01:06 Iran Gets Frisky

    11:33 Christians vs. The Eclipse

    17:13 Justice by Crime and Country

    25:15 Catholics Double Down 

    30:17 Obesity in America



    The breakdown: 



    —Hamas attacks Israel. Israel whomps the unholy hell out of the Gaza Strip. Iran thinks that’s no bueno, arms Hezbollah. Israel says, “Oh, F-you,” and bombs the Iranian Embassy in Syria, killing one of Iran’s biggest douchebags, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, and other Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders… and now, Iran has launched a drone attack on Israel. What’s next? I suppose that’s what we’re about to find out…



    —I wish, I wish, I wish I could find a legitimate source for this next story. According to Reddit—noted home of QAnon and various other wonderful conspiracies—a Christian woman who believed the eclipse was a sign the rapture was upon us, went to a restaurant and tipped generously. And not “50%” generously, several hundred dollars on a $40 bill generous. Aaaaaand, when the rapture didn’t happen, again, she went returned and demanded her money back. Because of course she did.



    —Italy: come for the pasta, stay for the murder. Amanda Knox was in the news again, so nathan did a little digging… Did you know that Rudy Guede, the man who actually murdered Meredith Kercher, only got a 30-year prison sentence? Even better, he was released early, to finish his sentence doing community service. Seems they’re kinda light on crime there.



    Meanwhile, over in Vietnam, Truong My Lan was sentenced to death for a white collar crime. Man, God bless Vietnam! Imagine if the U.S.A. had put to death all the douchenozzles behind the economic collapse in 2008?


    (Or, for that matter, any economic collapse.)



    —Oh, Catholicism… your numbers are shrinking, and every time people are asked why they’ve left the church, they say, “It’s 2024. People are gay. Get over it.” So, what did the church just do? Double down on their anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. 



    But wait, there’s more!



    They’ve added surrogacy to the list! Yes, if there’s one thing women love, it’s being told what they can and cannot do with their bodies.



    —TikTok: it’s where stupid people go to “learn.” Well, anti-diet influencers started telling people to listen to their gut when it came to diet. Eat right and exercise? That’s for losers. Your body will tell you what you’re supposed to eat, and if it’s telling you candy bars and donuts? More power to ya!
    Oh, and by the way, the food industry is backing these influencers, and you’re gonna gain weight and get fat if you listen to them.


    Who could have seen this coming? Anyone with an IQ above that of your average potato(e).

    Episode 569: Fear the Eclipse 

    Episode 569: Fear the Eclipse 

    This week, the Idiots discuss



    00:00 Welcome!

    00:44 Eclipse

    07:45 Trans Visibility Day

    24:10 Oregon Drug Use

    31:41 Amazon Grocery Store

    35:33 Viewer Comment



    The breakdown: 



    —Who knew we were still living in the dark ages, where an eclipse would send the dumbest of the dumb into a tizzy? Sure, they’re tracked, which means we know exactly when and where they’re going to happen, but they’re also A SIGN FROM GOD THAT AMERICA IS A SINFUL COUNTRY!



    —Who is stupider, Marjorie “Jewish Space Lasers” Greene, or the people who support and vote for her? Serious question, because she is just beyond dumb. Before she threw a fit over the eclipse, conservative commentators wet their pants and cried their eyes out because Trans Visibility Day fell on Easter. Most notably, Caitlyn Jenner joined in the chorus of idiots blaming Joe Biden for “declaring” Easter was Trans Visibility Day.



    —Oregon voted to decriminalize all drugs. How did that work out for them? Not well. Who saw it coming? EVERYBODY.



    —Amazon was going to revolutionize grocery shopping. You’d walk into a store, grab what you wanted, and walk out. AI and modern technology would keep track of everything and charge your Amazon account, easy-peasy. No clerks, no fuss, no muss. Except it never worked, and now they’re pulling the plug. Turns out, the “technology” was basically a big call center in India, with poorly-paid workers hunched over computer screens, watching footage of shoppers. 



    —We respond to a troll who likes Trump more than reality.

    Episode 568: Francis Scott Key Conspiracies & Bibles for Sale!

    Episode 568: Francis Scott Key Conspiracies & Bibles for Sale!

    This week, the Idiots discuss



    00:00 Welcome!

    00:36 ISIS Attacks Russia

    07:44 Francis Scott Key Bridge

    16:16 Trump Bibles for Sale

    27:41 Columbia Breaks up with Israel

    29:02 Twitter Loses Lawsuit

    32:53 Candice Owens Gets Fired



    The breakdown: 



    —Vladimir Putin wanted the ISIS attack on the Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow to be Ukraine so badly. He still wants Ukraine to be involved. We discuss the joys of living in a police state (dictatorship)—namely the ability to beat the unholy hell out of captured terrorists—as well as the downside—state controlled media. 



    —Six people lost their lives when the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. That tragedy should give people pause to reflect and discuss the event with respectful tones, right? Ha! Not when conservatives (as well as insane people, like Alex Jones and Kevin Sorbo) are involved. Tragedies are meant to be twisted, don’t ‘cha know? What really caused the Dali to hit the bridge? Nothing being spewed by Fox News, that’s for sure.



    (Side note: the idiots also discuss the stupidest of the stupid among us, QAnon believers, and how they believe conspiracies over the truth every single time.)



    —The Idiots love Donald Trump. That’s all there is to it. Imagine how beautiful it would be to have insanely loyal followers like he does. He said it himself: he could shoot someone, and his followers wouldn’t bat an eye. And now he’s selling the dumbest of the dumb bibles.



    —Columbia is done with Israel. Did they break off diplomatic ties? Nah, Columbian president  Gustavo Petro sent a Tweet. Well done, Gustavo.



    —Speaking of Twitter, Elon Musk just lost an obvious lawsuit. He’s a champion for free speech, which is fine, but you can’t be both a champion of free speech, and cry foul when it’s pointed out that hate speech increased under your watch. When you allow the worst of the worst to spew their stupid on Twitter, don’t be surprised when you’re called out. Elon tried to sue the Center for Countering Digital Hate, and because facts matter (sometimes), the case was tossed. Go justice.



    —What kind of world do we live in where two hate-filled people can’t get along and hate together? Ben Shapiro and Candice Owens are perfect together on paper. So, Ben hired Candice to spread garbage on his garbage site, The Daily Wire, but for reasons unknown to the outside world, they couldn’t make it work. Oh well.

    Episode 567: SCOTUS & Immigration; Trump & Honesty

    Episode 567: SCOTUS & Immigration; Trump & Honesty

    This week, the Idiots discuss



    00:00 The Supreme Court, Immigration

    06:28 The Supreme Court, Cowboys for Trump

    09:55 Princess Kate follow up

    11:44 Trump Takes Over the RNC

    18:14 Insurance in the USA

    27:16 Julia Reel vs. The Hubbard Inn

    35:18 Student Debt Forgiveness & Ozempic Babies



    The breakdown: 



    —The Supreme Court let a lower court’s ruling stand, stating Texas could act independent of the federal government, and deal with immigrants crossing their border. This caused a second lower court to say, “No, Texas can’t!” which means it’s gonna get kicked back up to SCOTUS. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to run on the border problem, which they could have ended, had they voted for the border bill they wrote. It’s quite fascinating.



    —Couy Griffin, a New Mexico resident who founded “Cowboys for Trump,” was kicked off a ballot for public office. “But SCOTUS said Trump couldn’t be kicked off ballots!” he argued. True, but Trump wasn’t convicted of being involved in an insurrection. Griffin was. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.



    —Well, we certainly hope that everyone involved with freaking out about Princess Kate being MIA feels bad right now. The poor woman (mom) has cancer. Leave her be, why don’t ya?



    —This is pretty amazing: Donald Trump is being honest. He’s taken over the RNC, and is now openly telling donors that their money will first be put to use paying his legal bills… and THEN used to get Republicans elected to office. And yet, people still throw money at him, the “billionaire.” Amazing.



    (Side discussions of the idiotic Republican impeachment hearings against Biden take place here.)



    —Insurance giant State Farm is going to stop insuring some homes in California. Other insurance companies don’t cover squat in Florida. Yeah, that’s insurance. They want to take your money, and they don’t want to pay out. So if you live in a (say it with me) high risk area, they’re either going to charge you massive premiums, or not cover you. That’s the game.



    (Side discussions of Don Lemon interviewing Elon Musk take place here.)



    —Julia Reel got kicked out of the Hubbard Inn (a Chicago based bar & restaurant), and wasn’t happy about it. She went on TikTok, made a video claiming she’d been thrown down the stairs, and it went viral. Well, “Not so fast,” said the Hubbard Inn, and then posted security footage of their staff being completely respectful to the newly nicknamed “Julia Smollett.” The Hubbard Inn is fighting back with a lawsuit against Julia. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.



    —And in closing… More student debt is being forgiven, and women supposedly on birth control are getting pregnant if they take Ozempic.

    Episode 566: Photogate, the Princess Kate Conspiracy…

    Episode 566: Photogate, the Princess Kate Conspiracy…

    This week, the Idiots discuss:



    00:00 Princess Catherine 

    08:41 James and Jennifer Crumbly are guilty

    21:57 Fani Willis 

    28:23 COVID vaccinations and political parties

    34:57 Aaron Bushnell



    The breakdown: 



    —Princess Catherine, is she alive, is she dead? Who knows? The Shadow? Who knew a simple photoshop could turn into a massive, silly and stupid scandal. And most importantly, why in God’s name does anyone care? 



    —Hopefully we’re making headway when it comes to gun violence. Who is responsible for raising a garbage kid? The parents. Well, now two parents in Michigan, the parents of Ethan Robert Crumbley, have been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Good.



    (Side discussions of Alex Jones, Kanye West, and Cardi B take place here.)



    —Trump is on trial in Georgia, and though he’s guilty, guilty, guilty, focus was taken off the case because Fani Willis and Nathan Wade couldn’t not get naked with one another.



    —Republicans are dying from COVID at a much higher rate than Democrats. Why? Because they believe the vaccinations are full of microchips, blood clotting agents, and whatever else they’ve been told to believe by Newsmax, Fox, and OAN. It’s pretty funny, actually.



    (Side discussions of Trump flip-flopping on banning TikTok here.)



    —Want to protest something? Light yourself on fire! Will your idiot move change anything? Nope! But hey, maybe you’ll get a street named after you! Winning!
