‘Tis the season and Ethan has a question for John- Boomers are finally getting into Bitcoin, so NOW is it a bubble? Hey, who can tell! Then, it seems Mean and Sober’s controversial topics are finally getting us into trouble- we weren’t able to do Facebook advertising this week because last week’s War on Christmas segment was too much for them to handle- yes, we finally got “Zucked”, because apparently facebook can’t take a (((joke))). It was bound to happen eventually! But guess what, on this episode, we're going right into the War on Christmas, Part II, because if Satan doesn’t take a break, we can’t let Zuckerberg make us take one either! Then- Happy Hanukkah- the Republicans have finally passed a tax bill and Trump has signed it! Is this the greatest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen, or are John’s eyes twinkling with holiday cheer for some other reason (whiskey?) Then, Ethan agrees with the Republican take on federal law enforcement this week (it’s bad), and is pleased to present a very special Christmas-themed segment where we posit what would happen in a world without the police! Plus, a special 4-chan-themed #Conspiracy Friday, and in our Final “Cuck of the Week” for the year, you may be surprised who ends up getting cucked! Finally, we remember the people who helped make Mean and Sober’s first year great (and a few who tried to stop us from making it great.) Hey- we're just happy to be here. Enjoy our final show of 2017, right here, right now! Have a happy New Year, cucks!

If you want to give Ethan and John a holiday gift, here’s the official Mean and Sober patreon: www.patreon.com/meanandsober

It’s Mean and Sober and Ethan is consoling John for the devastating Roy Moore defeat in the Alabama senate race. We’ll talk about Trump and Bannon losing face and how they can escape the cucking they’re experiencing. Also, Paul Ryan is retiring, but John still thinks those assassination markets should make the final decision.  Plus, the first #MeToo suicide!  And we take calls from some loyal Mean and Sober listeners, and have Chuck the Cuck explains #Russiagate! Oh, and there’s a win for Radical Moderate Extremism this week as Ethan admits that CNN is fake news and John decides he loves the FBI! Plus we’ve got #CuckOfTheWeek, #ConspiracyFriday, the #BigList, and our first seasonal segment as John Gregory presents the War on Christmas (or as he calls it, the War on White Christmas.) Happy Holidays! Join the Mean and Sober movement at patreon.com/meanandsober and follow us on IG at @meanandsober.  Big Brain Centrism FTW!

Happy Hanukkah as we cover Trump’s Jerusalem gambit!  Find out what the Alt-Right thinks of Trump’s philosemitism, and what Steve Bannon thinks of Jared Kushner!  Plus- the #MeToo movement hits South Florida comedy, and the scandal sweeps in a certain Muslim-American comedian John has a history of feuding with. John handles it like a perfect gentleman and declines to comment for the sake of dignity and discretion. (Fake news!) Plus we discuss the wider scandal, as the Roy Moore story gets a little more complicated, Al Franken resigns, and Trent Franks wants to impregnate you!  Then Trump blames his lawyer for his Twitter crimes, and the Republicans keep cucking libertarian philosophy- and Ethan is slowly losing his mind. Finally, in honor of Hanukkah, we do a CLASSIC Mean and Sober Deep Dive into why Antisemitism is the most fascinating kind of racism.  Don’t miss it! Also:  Welcome to our Irish listeners!  Down with the English!  And welcome to our English listeners! God save the Queen!  Whatever you are, donate at patreon.com/meanandsober, and keep listening, Worldwide cucks!

Season's Greetings! Mike “Lock Her Up” Flynn has pled guilty and is cooperating with the Russiagate investigation- so you guessed it- It’s Mueller Time again, baby! Of course John tells us why, when it comes to the Trump administration, he’s skeptical of anyone’s guilt, except, of course, Jared Kushner’s for some (((reason))); and Ethan explains why he hates female conservative media figures- especially Tucker Carlson. Then, Ethan describes trying to cope with the ethical implications of anarchism; meanwhile, John advocates for assassination markets as a way to solve political problems! And speaking of that- the Republicans just got their middle class tax hike through the Senate! Hmm…  Plus, we’re talking #Bitcoen, and we’ll tell you about a whole slew of new, liberal cryptocurrencies coming on the market! Then, John explains why he hates the welfare state but is signing up for Obamacare, and Ethan talks about why getting off heroin has made him spiritually superior to everyone around him! Join us for this hypocrisy-themed holiday edition of Mean and Sober! Plus: A special Pussygrabber Edition of Conspiracy Friday, a shoutout to all our Patreon patrons, and of course, don’t miss the Cuck of the Week! See ya later, cucks!

Happy Thanksgiving to our American listeners! Ethan discusses ruining the holiday for the whole family with political discussions, and John suggests some moderate approaches to talking about anarchism- like bringing up abolishing the entire U.S. government.  Then it’s onto the news as Trump designates North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism (finally!), Egypt suffers a major attack on a Sufi mosque, and most importantly, we give you a #NoNutNovember update.  Then, our main feature this week: Net Neutrality- good or bad? John takes a contra approach, making an impassioned argument in favor of big business and against any kind of government regulation, while Ethan argues for NN… and somehow ends up on the same side of the issue as the Alt-Right! Then it’s an update on the sexual harassment scandals in media & politics, as Rep. John Conyers and respected journalist Charlie Rose are the latest powerful men laid low by the snowballing scandal. Oh, and it turns out Congress has been covering up both parties sexual misdeeds for decades (surprise, surprise.) And, of course, we’ve got the #BigList, #CuckOfTheWeek, and #ConspiracyFriday for you, and they’re all doozies (we finally tackle whether ghosts, aliens, and cheating wives exist! Finally, shoutout to our new listeners in the UK, Ireland, and Australia- keep it up and thanks for the donations on Patreon! (Contribute at www.patreon.com/meanandsober) And thanks for the reviews on iTunes- keep em coming! See you later, cucks!

Today we’re discussing the vile, incomparably disgusting deeds of Senator Al Frankenstein, just the latest powerful male to be swept up in sexual misconduct allegations! He’s been roundly condemned, including by Donald Trump, who seems to agree that anyone who committed such heinous acts is unfit for high office- (hey, wait a minute…!) The good news is, we’re back to taking calls, and today we take a call from local filmmaker Jon Schaefer who weighs in on the controversy. Then John & Ethan demand the resignation of Washington Post reporter (((Bernie Bernstein))). And, in honor of #NoNutNovember, we unpack the true and sordid history of Men’s Rights Activists, MGTOW, Gamergate, the Alt-Right, and Donald Trump, and lay the blame where it truly belongs- feminism! Plus, John explains why Paul Ryan gets the rope, we watch Jeff Sessions lie to congress (again), and we have the BIG LIST! And of course, a fabulous edition of Cuck of the Week, and then we finally get to #ConspiracyFriday and the conspiracy you’ve been waiting for- The Bilderberg Group! Listen now, before this (((somehow))) gets taken down!

(But, no, he’s not redpilled and he wants you to stop saying that!) Then, John Gregory reveals the Cuck of the Week, which turns out to be none other than… John Gregory? (Noooo!) It turns out some College Republicans ((())) tricked everyone, including John, into thinking that liberals are pedophiles. Weirdly, everyone believed this without a second thought. Finally, it’s Conspiracy Friday and John is beating the Jeffrey Epstein dead horse again, but this time, with a new wrinkle: The involvement of Kevin “American Beauty” Spacey!
