Episode 563: Cancel Culture & Stand Up Comedy
Comedian Johnny Mocny joins the Idiots do discuss everything in the news, starting with the fun of cancel culture.
Several comedians—Jim Florentine, Luis Gomez, Dave Smith, and Kurt Metzger—were fired by a Seattle comedy club, because “local advocacy groups” took issue with the concept of free speech.
Well, that’s not what they said, but that’s the fact of the matter. Instead of letting adults decide what they’d like to see, they said, “Naughty jokes make woke people sad, so you’re fired.”
The first chunk of the podcast is dedicated to the hypocrisy of the comedy club.
Following that, the best news story of all time: a man so deeply afraid of gay people is also, color no one surprised, also one of the stupidest people on the planet. Believing Canada too liberal a country, he moved his family to Russia…
…where it was immediately discovered what an immensely moronic mistake that was.
Ah, it’s delicious when bad things happen to deserving people.
Speaking of stupid people, YouTube finance guru Caleb Hammer had to deal with the second dumbest person on the planet: someone into both cryptocurrency AND astrology. And, even better, he used the movement of the planets to determine his trading habits.
(Guess what: he lost all his money.)
Finally: Biden is forgiving student debt again. Oddly enough, it didn’t seem to anger people this time.
Which is good, but confusing.
I thought outrage over nothingburgers is what they did best.
Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.
Tune in and get your giggle on.
