—Easter is upon us! He is risen! nathan ain’t doing nothing; Jake is visiting family.


—Oh, you silly, silly Christians. You travel to Ethiopia, think it’s a good idea to drink “holy water” from a fetid well, and wonder why you get cholera? 


You are so very, very dumb.


Well, enjoy the bacteria.


Idiots.


Side notes involve Jewish Rodeos, and Jake’s adventures with food in Afghanistan.


—We were already talking allergies, and our immune system, so why not throw liberal media Huffpost into the mix?
Huffpost ran an article on Pete Hegseth, and the fact he’ll eat food off the floor, and never washes his hands.


Does this make him Superman?


Sure.


In a gross kinda way.


—RFK Jr. says the autism epidemic is bigger than COVID.


Of course, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but I have insanely stupid friends that agree with him.


Sad times to be alive indeed.


That said, a TikToker named Jon, who goes by the handle “wholeparent,” actually offers up an incredibly insightful and intelligent (two things RFK Jr. isn’t) take on autism.


Short version: healthcare and school.


What’s meant by that?


Tune in.


—This story is fascinating… Chinese nationals taken prisoner by Ukraine claim they were kidnapped and forced to fight for Russia.


This could have huge ramifications, if true.


China has remained hands-off when it comes to Russia having invaded and started a war with Ukraine, but if their citizens are being used as cannon fodder, that could change.


Not our funniest story, but certainly our most interesting.


—Well, he’s tanked the stock market, the economy is on the precipice, and now the U.S. dollar is losing value.


All within 3 months of being in office.


Donald Trump is truly amazing, and his followers are amazingly stupid.


—Well, news media, you did it. You got two people with zero interest in Beyonce, to actually defend her.


Apparently her tour isn’t selling out, which shows there are at least a few people with common sense (and functional ears) out there…


But is not being able to sell the final 3,000 tickets in an 80,000 seat stadium a big deal?


Not to anyone with an IQ above that of a turnip, but when there’s nothing to talk about, you have to invent drama.


A side discussion involves NC Attorney General Jack Johnson taking on Live Nation/Ticketmaster, that evil monopoly. 


—nathan loves looking at clickbait stories, because they rarely disappoint. 


This story involved reasons relationships ended, and the one chosen is a doozy. 


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


Tune in and get your giggle on.
