DO THE RIGHT THING: The Government Shutdown, bad media, and new movie Sarah's Oil

 Shutdown Shenanigans, Media Mayhem, and Sarah's Slick Saga

DO THE RIGHT THING dives headfirst into the chaos of 2025's longest government shutdown—now on day 39—with flights grounded, families fractured, and Uncle Sam playing hardball over partisan pet projects. Hosts [Your Host Name] and the crew unpack the FAA's emergency flight cuts, Supreme Court side-eyes on MAGA-fied emails, and why this mess is hitting your wallet harder than a Black Friday stampede. Is it brinkmanship or straight-up sabotage?

Then, we roast the media's hottest mess: from CNN's airport sob stories to Fox's shutdown spin cycle, exposing how "breaking news" is just clickbait with a chyron. Are we getting facts or fiction? Spoiler: It's mostly the latter.

Wrapping up with a cultural curveball—the buzzed-about indie flick Sarah's Oil, a gritty dramedy about a Texas wildcatter's daughter striking black gold (and heartbreak) in a fracking frenzy. Is it the next There Will Be Blood or just greasy hype? We review the trailers, interview leaks, and debate if it's Oscar bait or box-office bust.

Tune in for unfiltered takes, guest rants from a furloughed fed, and our signature "Right Thing Roundup" on how to navigate the nonsense. New episodes drop Thursdays—subscribe, rate, and do the right thing: question everything. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you dodge shutdown delays.
