Winners and Losers Show
The Winners and Losers Show with Hank Thompson features the honest, unique and hilarious perspective of a lifelong human — from the news of the week, the horrors of politics, a science story or two and the overlapping systems tying it all together, plus books, shows, movies, games and anticapitalist rants! Hank's trademark bluntness and creativity sources from his experience as a stand up comedian, an injured woodworker, a professional video editor who's worked in "progressive" media (The Young Turks, The Jimmy Dore Show) and as a late-identified autistic.

#191 - Risky Chips & Healthcare Villains
Not gonna lie: the opening is kind of a mess. After rambling about language barriers, mold, expired food and a plant, TYT project updates, a former Steven Crowder employee comes forward on free speech grounds and Joe Biden's latest healthcare lie brings up the 2016 reporting that Barack Obama had offered to help Joe Biden with expenses related to his son Beau Biden's terminal illnesses and sparks a lot of thoughts about the moral and cosmic abomination that is healthcare in the United States.

#165 - Holy Sh*t, I'm F*cking Autistic!
An emotional return as Hank shares about discovering he's autistic — what it means, how it explains the struggles he's faced, the way he functions, why he's completely unemployable and how knowing offers him a chance, with your help, of finding some footing in life as an independent content producer (podcasts, videos, wood stuff). Please consider supporting. Audio note: messed up the dang recording so this is the camera's audio, cleaned up. It's fine. SUPPORT! Recorded 4.9.23 FOLLOW!

#164 - The United States Of Trauma
First recording goofed; this is the 2nd attempt (so it's shorter than usual, which is probably good news.) In this ep, Hank rambles about recent upticks in the nightmare factory that is America. Lots of the hits in this one: brutal society, individualism, childhood trauma, capitalism, Hank's inquiry into his own mental conditions and swearing! SUPPORT! Recorded 6.28.22 FOLLOW!

#163 - Seeking Sister-Wives & Joe Biden On Jimmy Kimmel
A Mormon show on Hulu converts Hank and we watch Joe Biden's appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show (19:52) in which he proves over and over why he's the worst person for the job. Highlights include defending Mitch McConnell, pointing to biracial commercials as a sign of progress and overall being an out-of-touch figurehead for a sclerotic gerontocracy racing towards fascism and collapse. Plus the usual rambling about how capitalism sucks. Recorded 06.14.22 Note: opinions subject to being forgotten.
