From Hell's Heart We Stab at Thee
The Grift Show
Not gonna lie, this is not an episode where we have what anyone could call a topic. Fortunately, we're often at our best when we're running entirely on vibes and getting sidetracked You do get extended rants about Star Trek II and 7th Heaven, though, so you've got that to look forward to.

The Mother Of All Crashouts
The Grift Show
Hey! We’re back after yet another unexpected week off due to yet another catastrophic air-conditioning failure in the studio! Join us as we talk about as much of the things that have happened that our respective ADHD will allow us to talk about without getting distracted, most of which does, in fact, revolve around our boy Donnie’s less-than-stable reaction to no one believing there’s nothing to see in the Epstein files.

It's A Skibidi Massacre! or Big Beautiful Blunder
The Grift Show
Where does one even begin with this past week? Nothing good happened. We discuss all the not-good until we decide we can't discuss it anymore. What else is there even to say at this point, eh?

Trump Bombed Iran, NYC Democrats Chose Mamdani, and That One Time a 12-year-old Gonzo Was The Leader of a Cult.
The Grift Show
Jesus Christ, a lot can happen in a single week, and we’re here, powered by ADHD and mild substances, to wade through it all as best we can. Is it WWIII? Is NYC a glimpse of our future? Also, what’s this about Gonzo being the leader of a cult he didn’t know about when he was in the eighth gade? Let’s find out!

Live From The Kava Bar, It's THE GRIFT SHOW
The Grift Show
The a/c in the studio being broken kept us down last week, but we weren't about to let that happen again, so its our very first remote shoot! A lot happened the last two weeks, and Rev and Gonzo are on location to do their best to make as much sense as possible of it all as only they can: entirely stream of consciousness.

WELCOME TO PRIDE
The Grift Show
It’s June! That means Pride month is upon us. Why does that matter? Why should you care? LET’S FIND OUT TOGETHER! (Note: Gonzo and Rev. Al know why it’s important, but we’re not sure everyone else does, so we’re pretending to learn this together to lure them in surreptitiously. It’s a clever ruse, you see… a cunning attempt to trick people into empathy)

Yes, We're Mostly Talking Andor Again
The Grift Show
We can't help if its one of the top five best television shows of all time AND just so happens to be frighteningly relevant to our current real world predicament, can? No. No we cannot. Because of that, and because the season and series are both complete, we don't feel the least bit bad about talking at length, again, about how much we love the entire project. As usual, we also cover the news, which proved to be unusually harrowing over the last two weeks since the previous episode even by 2025's generally harrowing standards.

News Updates and a lot of rambling about Andor
The Grift Show
We recorded a few days later than usual due to the air-conditioning in the studio being out, but that just made the news more exciting and gave us more time to want to just talk about Andor, which is the best Star Wars has ever been.
