Idiots On Parade, the Too Ugly for TV Podcast

Episode 565: State of the Union, and Response


Listen Later

This week, the Idiots discuss


00:00 President Biden’s State of the Union address, as well as the insane response by Kate Britt.

08:53 A German fella decided to get the COVID vaccine 217 times. He needs a new hobby.

13:30 Liberal cities are finally tackling crime… in an election year. Shocking!

18:26 Immigration… Republicans tanked a bill they wrote. Why?

22:22 Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the dumbest people on the planet, is also a hypocrite. Shocking!

30:35 A Texas mom is in trouble, but should she be?

34:04 Madonna: just how weak is her ego?


Specific discussions include:


—The unhinged fears of the left and right. Conservatives freak out over immigration, but don’t seem to care about gun violence, or women’s reproductive rights. 


At the same time, liberals are so concerned with language use, idiots like Ilham Omar started crying the instant Biden used the term “illegal alien” (or immigrant, I forget) to describe an illegal immigrant.


(Even worse, social media algorithms fear language of all sorts.)


—If the COVID vaccination is so deadly, then why is the German fella who took it nonstop for two years fine ’n’ dandy?


—Jake is suspicious, and probably right. New York City and San Francisco are both changing their ineffective stances on crime. Is it because they’ve finally realized that letting criminals run riot doesn’t work for anyone, or is it because it’s an election year, and Democrats know they’re gonna get hammered on crime?

(Even though rates everywhere (except Oakland, CA) are declining.)


—Immigration: Republicans demanded a border bill. Then they wrote one. Democrats said, “We’ll vote for it!” and Biden said, “I’ll sign it.” So, did Republicans pass it? Of course not. If they had, they couldn’t use immigration as a scare tactic and garner votes from dumb people.


—MTG… she tries to say reality is a conspiracy theory (“Election 2020 was stolen!”) while propping up the most outlandish, hateful, anti-semitic conspiracies herself. And when confronted? She lashes out. Because that’s what horrible people do.


—Is Jennifer Lynn Rossi a great mom, or a dumb one? She exacted revenge on her son’s bully, and in a clever way. But the story is vague… We’ll explain how/why.


—Madonna… instead of allowing people to enjoy her concert in their own way, she has to ask why one person is sitting down, only to discover the person is in a wheelchair.


Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.


Tune in and get your giggle on.
