Finally, Eric McAdams is selling out. Finally he’s taking Big Time Whoopsies to, well, the big time, and giving the people what they want.

Nazis. Can’t live with ’em, can’t punch ’em, according to centrist pundits. What’s a podcast network to do? Well, this week on Big Time Whoopsies, Eric decided to do a takedown of the dumbest, weirdest philosophies of the Third Reich, and he brings Major Casts co-founder Tom Loughney along for the ride! Prepare for rewritten philosophy, occult pseudoscience, and idiotic cosmology.

 

(And for the record? It’s okay to punch Nazis. Don’t listen to centrist pundits.)

Join Eric as he brings the Major Casts cofounders Liam and Tom on a journey through art, theatre, and war.

Let me tell you a tale, child – a fable of greed, manipulation, and vast amounts of stupidity. Let me tell you the story… of a man named Billy McFarland. This week on Big Time Whoopsies, Eric McAdams talks about Fyre Festival with his wonderful guest Maggie, who has somehow never even heard of it before??
