Ranting Out Loud
With Thanksgiving around the corner, we set a table full of premature Christmas décor while debating the intricacies of Stovetop Stuffing. The President wrestles with a "piggy" while MAGA lawyers play Barbie prosecutor and ICE flies south for the coming winter. Toss in Epstein tapes, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise other half, Texas redistricting karma, and a South Park episode too filthy to describe, and you’ve got a holiday season served up just right. Stuffing? Dressing? Just shut up and eat ... Piggy.

With Chadrick mysteriously missing and possibly trapped in a gold-trimmed ballroom somewhere, Lee and Mike dive into holiday prep, billionaire fantasies, and America’s growing serfdom problem. From Elon’s trillion-dollar robot army to MAGA meltdown economics, ICE cosplay patrols, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden attempt at sounding human, the duo break down a chaotic political landscape. We didn't know when we recorded that some Dems would cave on the shutdown after this episode, but the silver lining in it all? A gold platter full of Epstein files awaits sooner than later. So will...

With Chad off schmoozing VIPs, Lee and Mike take the reins and dive into America’s latest political circus, including tacky White House renovations and election upsets that have the GOP clutching its pearls. Between voter turnouts, golden ballrooms, and Fox News denials, the boys find a little hope, a lot of horror, and enough snark to redecorate the East Wing themselves. Oh wait. That got demolished. Hang in there everyone!

The crew gets spooky with Halloween nostalgia, from flammable 70s costumes and questionable couple ideas (Jim Jones and the Kool-Aid Man?) to debates over what’s offensive or just adult-party creative. Between trick-or-treat etiquette, “don’t buy candy you like” wisdom, and talk of terrifying documentaries and classic horror flicks, this episode proves that nothing’s scarier than bad taste. Literally.

The gang gushes over Taylor Swift’s record-smashing album, clears up Dolly Parton’s “deathbed” drama, and side-eyes America’s latest political clowns, led by a man literally named Johnson. How unfortunate!
info_outlineRanting Out Loud
The guys get into America’s never-ending government shutdown, ICE villains who need to be melted like the Wicked Witch, and, speaking of melt-downs, just look at the reaction to Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl. Between clergy getting pepper-sprayed and politicians chasing Nobel Prizes like it’s RuPaul’s Drag Race: Dictator Edition, it’s a wild ride through politics, pop culture, and petty power plays.

The shutdown is on, the hypocrisy is loud, and somewhere in the madness, Taylor Swift emerges as America’s accidental emotional support icon. The boys go off this week on America’s “reality TV” government, where cabinet members are cast from Fox News and beauty pageants. Meanwhile, Portland's "war zones” look more like mom yoga retreats but still require an army of out-of-shape grievance goons to tamp down the fun. Who knew there'd be a cabinet filled with Fox News rejects and failed wrestlers? From Bad Bunny backlash to Taylor Swift’s lyrical vengeance, it’s political chaos...

It’s October and the monsters aren’t just in haunted houses—they’re in Congress, on cable news, and apparently on couches with J.D. Vance. The crew rants about tariffs that punish farmers, Disney’s PR disasters, monopolies run amok, and why Michael’s might secretly be saving craft gays everywhere. Plus, a debate over Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl standoff proves the halftime show is still gayer than the game.

This week the crew laughs through yet another failed doomsday prediction, side-eyes Trump’s escalator conspiracy and Melania’s Hamburglar chic, and dives into the mess of media censorship, celebrity PR disasters, and the Epstein files everyone’s afraid of. Toss in government shutdown drama, Grindr jokes, and a heated debate over pumpkin spice, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts scandal, sass, and seasonal flavor. P.S. someone hates on pumpkin spice.

Halloween may be Chad’s Super Bowl, but this year spooky season comes with tariffs, sky-high craft store prices, and Hobby Lobby pretending the holiday doesn’t exist. The crew riffs on candy rationing, ICE costumes scarier than any ghost, and why Black Mirror feels less like fiction and more like 2025’s to-do list. Plus, a love letter to Allison Janney, Jordan Peele’s brilliance, and the eternal truth: white people in horror movies never turn on the damn lights.
