This episode goes to eleven! Snoop Dogg and Da Jewels rock the house at the Crypto Ball, whatever the hell that is. Biden and Trump run wild on pardons. The tariffs are coming, the tariffs are coming! Dubya wants to stop the world and get off. The FOP gets punked. TikTok is back from the dead and we still don't know if that's good or bad. The Band's final curtain call. Elon Musk is a Nazi. Or he isn't. If it walks like a fascist and it talks like a fascist and it salutes like a fascist...

Hey. We've survived the fires and we consider ourselves lucky. We unpacked all our irreplaceable shit that has been sitting by the door for the last week. Thankfully, we have an army of online trolls to tell us what California is doing wrong about all these wildfires. Is Crowdfunding a blessing or a curse? Or both? Biden takes his bow and leaves a complicated legacy in his wake. (See what I did there?) The Republicans don't give a hoot about traditions. Unless Democrats violate them, of course. Trump was born on Flag Day, so Old Glory can't be anywhere but at full staff for inauguration day, right? RIGHT? TikTok's ticker doesn't have many beats left, it seems. And Trump is back, baby. Hoo-fucking-ray.

It has been a rough week. Unprecedented events have rendered my hometown of Los Angeles into a smoky and still-burning hellscape. Multiple friends have lost everything, and for some reason a bunch of armchair critics in flyover states are suddenly experts in how to fight wildfires. Most people are safe in Southern California, but none of us are OK. If you'd like to donate, contact me and I will point you in a number of helpful directions. Also, surprise! Donald Trump is above the law. America is not living up to its promise. But I guess we already knew that. Thanks for listening.

Episode eight! Spoiler alert! Bigfoot isn't real. How the Spotify CEO Daniel Elk got lots and lots of money by screwing musicians. Intrigue and high drama at a chess tournament. Does Elon Musk have a Clark Kent-ish alter-ego? Trump gets the shaft in the form of a big fine. Dry January is for quitters. And a eulogy for a decent man. Thanks for listening!

In episode V, which was the best of the Star Wars movies, we discuss a tragic mishap on an interstate outside of San Francisco, and the outrage over and Robin Hood-esque folk hero status of the alleged murderer of UnitedHeath Care CEO Brian Thompson. Is he The Punisher or a heartless killer? Remember the "Your body, my choice. Forever" doxing incident involving Nick Fuentes? Seems like our favorite white supremacist might be in legal trouble over it. Also, President Biden made it rain pardons this week. Senators Manchin and Sinema stick it to Chuck Shumer on their way out the door. The Onion may not be able to buy Alex. Jones' InfoWars kingdom of shit after all. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to give us polio for Christmas. Drones, drones, drones! Donald Trump is Time Magazine's Man of the Year. (Gag.) And the public debut of my holiday music game that's sweeping the nation: Win or Shit! Thanks for tuning in.

Where we go dumb, we go all! The South Korean president may lose his gig over a bizarre gambit with martial law, giving Trump some dumb ideas along the way. SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett doesn't like anyone who isn't straight. The brazen murder of a healthcare insurance company CEO prompts a moral conundrum for a country that has been hung out to dry by healthcare insurance companies. Canadian Prime Minister flies to Florida to reluctantly kiss the ring. Dinesh D'Souza is a hypocrite (no surprises there). And Biden stays awake long enough to piss off Republicans for old times' sake by pardoning his son, Hunter Biden.
