Blank Propaganda Machine

On this week's episode, it’s plush-on-plush carnage as Jed and JT try to stuff each other over which 80s icon was the cooler toy: Teddy Ruxpin or My Pet Monster? Jed rolls in hard on Team Ruxpin, calling him “the animatronic king of the toy aisle”, a storytelling legend with more charm than a Care Bear on quaaludes. But things take a hard emotional turn when Jed reveals he never actually owned a Teddy Ruxpin, tearfully confessing his childhood was filled with bootleg bedtime hugs from a stuffed sock stitched together by his nanny. JT counters from Team Monster, arguing My Pet Monster was the blue-furred underdog of childhood trauma, ugly enough to make any kid feel quite dashing by comparison. He paints Teddy as a bougie Pooh Bear knockoff, floating around in his airship like a rich kid who only played cassette tapes from NPR. As the sobs clash with sarcasm, Moderator Kirk tries to hold the threadbare argument together while Hung Juror Kraig slowly handcuffs himself in solidarity with the Monster. It’s prestige vs punk rock, circuits vs chains, and a whole lotta unresolved toy store trauma on this cuddly, chaotic episode of Mass Debate!

On this week's episode, sparks fly and boots stomp as special guest Chris Morris and resident cowboy Jed go toe-to-toe over Which Boogie is Best: Boot Scootin’ Boogie or the Electric Boogie? Chris slides into Team Electric with confidence, praising it as a cross-cultural groove that unites weddings, cookouts, and awkward party goers across the globe. But Jed ain't havin’ it! He straps on his spurs and defends Boot Scootin’ like it's the last honky tonk on Earth, accusing Chris of spittin’ in the face of hard-working Americans and the daisy duke divas who make line dancing worth watching. Chris claps back, calling Boot Scootin’ a glorified shuffle for drunk hillbillies in belt buckles too big to fail, while praising the Electric Slide for having actual choreography and not just cardio with a cowboy hat. Moderator Kraig tries to keep the peace but accidentally reignites the dance floor war every time he claps on the 1 and 3. Hung Juror Kirk just stands silently in shock and awe, swaying slightly, unsure which direction to slide. Country kicks or electric flicks - somebody’s gettin’ served on this sh!t-kickin’ episode of Mass Debate!

On this week's episode the eggnog is flowing, the sleigh bells are ringing, and the claws are out as Kirk and Jed square off over the Queen of Christmas herself with the question: Is Mariah Carey’s holiday earworm “All I Want for Christmas Is You” the greatest Xmas song of all time? Kirk comes in hotter than chestnuts on an open fire, praising Mariah as a divine snow-dusted goddess of holiday cheer, whose high notes could thaw even the iciest of cold hearts. Jed, meanwhile, argues the song is audio fruitcake, engineered in a lab to torture retail workers, steal husbands, and kill the American Christmas from the inside out. Kirk accuses Jed of being a frosty Scrooge with a lump of coal where his soul should be, while Jed claims the track is less Silent Night, and more Sinful Delight. Moderator Kraig can barely keep the tinsel from catching fire, and Hung Juror JT remains silent but his blinking pattern appears to either be Morse code for "make it stop", or signs of an oncoming Yuletide stroke. Naughty, nice, or just unhinged, this one will leave you ho-ho-horrified on this episode of Mass Debate!

Grab your eggnog and settle in by the fire, because on this week's episode things get festively explosive as Kraig and special guest Adam Draper jingle each other's bells over one burning question: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Yippee-Ki-Yay…or Yippee-Ki-Nay? Adam steps in with cold, calculated cheerlessness, arguing that Die Hard lacks the holy trinity of Christmas essentials: snow, presents, and a fat guy in red. But Kraig, twinkling with delusion and a jiggle to his belly, declares that Argyle the limo driver is clearly McClane’s weed-smoking holiday elf, claiming that blazing mistletoe in the back of the limo is the emotional North Star of the entire film. Adam stares blankly into the abyss, trying to recall the part of Die Hard where Argyle sprouts a pointy hat, jingles when he walks, and reports back to Santa between blunts. Moderator Kirk just wants to get through the night with his Yule Log intact, while Hung Juror Jed starts humming “Let It Blow” and offers to settle things with a snowball fight and some hot Bavarian nuts. It’s chaos wrapped up with a pretty little bow and a stocking filled with confusion, conviction, and holiday hallucinations on this holly jolly episode of Mass Debate!

On this week's episode, the gloves are off and the tiger blood is flowing as special guest JT and Kraig face off over a sibling showdown for the ages: Which brother is the better actor - Charlie Sheen or Emilio Estevez? JT comes in hot with a fistful of chaos praising Charlie’s legendary run of drugs, babes, and sitcom paychecks, calling him a warlock of the screen. Kraig claps back with heartfelt pride, naming Emilio a hometown hero for producing not one but two whole movies in Cincinnati, while also praising Emilio as a pure-blooded Estevez who never had to change his name to make it in Tinsel Town. JT calls Emilio the eternal second fiddle, while Kraig says Charlie is a one-trick, drug-addled pony. Moderator Jed just tries to keep the mics from catching fire, while Hung Juror Kirk mumbles something about The Breakfast Club being a religious experience. It's heart vs hedonism, Cincy vs Sin City, D2 vs DTF, on this absolutely Este-vested episode of Mass Debate! 

On this week's episode, moderator Jed kicks off the weirdest episode yet with a question pulled straight from a late-night YouTube rabbit hole and the deranged mind of Christopher Walken: Would you rather have a tail…or the ability to fly? Yes, really. Confusion builds immediately as Kirk, representing Team Flying, argues for flight the only way he knows how - through pure laziness and cheapness, saying it’d cut down on gas money and stairs. Meanwhile, Kraig latches onto Team Tail like a desperate possum in mating season, citing Splinter from TMNT as proof that tails bring wisdom, strength, and fatherly vibes. He claims a good tail can grapple, gesture, and even guide you through tough times. But when the dust settles, Kirk drops the mic with one simple question: "If you're in danger, who do you want saving you - someone who can fly…or someone with a goddamn tail?" Jed's smug ass sits back watching the chaos unfold like he's Woody Woodpecker, quietly giggling in the corner while Hung Juror Adam Draper contemplates existence itself and is left in awe that this is real life. Is this the dumbest debate ever? Maybe. Has the show officially jumped the shark? Definitely. But we’re in it now, folks! So grab your great-grandfather's gold watch, and start practicing your best Christopher Walken impression, for this week's episode of Mass Debate!

Get ready for a full blown Chris-tastrophe, because it’s a battle of the beefcakes as Jed and Kraig argue over which Chris is the Chrisiest: Pratt or Hemsworth. Jed stumbles out of the gate, unable to name more than two of Pratt’s roles, but still insists he’s the ultimate every man who can tame raptors by day and crush Pawnee burgers by night. But Kraig isn’t having it, scoffing that “Pratt Brat” Jed is just blinded by Star-Lord sparkle, while he puts all his faith in his homeboy “Hemi”, citing his "documentary Invincible" as undeniable proof of his superiority, only for Jed and moderator Kirk to eventually reveal that Kraig has his show titles mixed up. As Kraig fumbles through his notes like he’s trying to open a PDF with Thor's hammer, chaos erupts. Jed accuses Hemsworth of being a beautiful empty-headed brute, and Kraig calls Pratt a golden retriever with abs. Confusion, delusion, and Chris-mas cheer collide on this episode of Mass Debate!

Get ready to beat it into the ring, because this week on Mass Debate, Jed and Kirk square off over a heavyweight hypothetical: Who would win in a physical fight between Young Michael Jackson or Old Prince? Jed throws the first jab, backing Jackson 5–era Michael as a wiry survivor with iron lungs, faster feet, and years of trauma-fueled stamina. Kirk counters with cold, calculated confidence, arguing that an older Prince, hardened by decades in the purple trenches of Minneapolis, would fight like a man who’s played every instrument in a funk war zone and still found time to steal your girl with a little cream sha-boogie-bop. Moderator Kraig tries to keep things civil, but when the men's entourages are banned and it comes down to pure rhythm and rage, the glove comes off and the frilly shirt gets ripped to shreds. Will it be glitter punches or funky uppercuts that settle this one? Grab your sparkly satin glove and your raspberry beret - 'cause we're gonna be starting something on this episode of Mass Debate!

Buckle up, time travelers, 'cause where we're going, you don't need...chodes! But your about to get a triple dose listening to these wisenheimers. On this week's episode, the timeline gets twisted as Kirk and Kraig argue which direction is best for time travel: always to the future or always to the past. Kirk proudly claims he’s a “forward thinker” who’s too busy blasting ahead to be weighed down by Kraig’s VHS-era fantasies. But Kraig, decked out in historical inaccuracies, insists the past is where the real action is - especially if you’re trying to get rich, do a podcast with Jay-Z, or casually rewrite immigration policy. Moderator Jed tries to keep the timeline intact, but logic takes a flying DeLorean off a cliff as both debaters misuse Back to the Future II like it’s a documentary. Things reach paradox levels of stupid when Kirk promises that if he reaches the future and finds Kraig hasn’t ended homelessness, he’ll knock his dick in the dirt. Causality collapses, common sense time-loops, and no one remembers who started it…on this episode of Mass Debate!

Happy Halloween, Mass Debation enthusiasts! Get ready for a fun-sized debate, but you better check this one for razor blades, because the arguments are sharp and bound to cut deep!  We try to get down to the giggle and gore as we debate which pint-sized horror menace is easier to outrun: Chucky, the foul-mouthed doll or Leprechaun, the gold-obsessed gremlin. Kraig argues it’s simple physics - you can’t run from magic, but you can dropkick a doll across a parking lot. Jed, ever the technicality troll, claims you just don’t touch the Leprechaun’s gold and you’re good to go. Logic gets tossed out like a cursed amulet, and insults fly faster than a tripped toddler on this episode of Mass Debate!
