Grade A Nation

On this one year anniversary installment of Grade A Nation, Chris Thomas chats with Dale Pine, an adult day care center proprietor opposed to Disney+ content being watched by “old people soiling their diapers.” Dale is also shocked to hear Billy Dee Williams identifies as gender fluid and questions whether Billy Dee used to wear frilly nightgowns to turn on George Lucas. Chris Thomas addresses the conspiracy theory from the last installment of Grade A Nation as well. Thank you everyone for listening. Here is to (hopefully) many more anniversaries!

Mauro Ranallo, announcer for a variety of combat sports, has taken a recent leave of absence after a WWE coworker tweeted criticism of his broadcasting style. Ranallo, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, has in the past missed work because of symptoms related to his mental health condition. Despite all the evidence, two conspiracy theorists raise outlandish reasons for why Mauro is not currently broadcasting NXT wrestling shows for WWE. They also propose a grand conspiracy regarding Grade A Nation with Chris Thomas!

Gabrielle Union was dismissed from AGT (America’s Got Talent) after one season on NBC. She raised concerns about the climate and treatment of minority groups during tapings. She points to incidents like Jay Leno saying dogs in a painting “looked like something on the menu at a Korean restaurant” as proof of a hostile work environment. Based on the comments of Jay Unleashed to Chris Thomas on this installment, she may have a valid point!

Chris Thomas hears from Billy Briggs, who shares a revealing story of how simultaneously seeing a trailer of ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’ about Mister Rogers on display televisions and hearing John Fogerty’s ‘Centerfield’ over Target’s sound system activated a flashback to childhood trauma! Warning: This episode is likely not ideal for victims of ping pong paddle abuse.

Chris Thomas and independent consumer advocate/critic Good Times Tom Ladoux try the limited edition holiday flavor of Mountain Dew. The drink seems to make Good Times speak in Spanish, even though he doesn’t even know Spanish! What the heck?

Chris Thomas chats with survey analyst Nigel Lee about the poor performance of the Charlie’s Angels reboot movie. Nigel says his survey results from over 200 inmates held in a correctional facility proves the entire country does not want to see “women acting like men.” Nigel goes on a oddball tangent about unwashed menstruation stains on the uniforms of the female Ghostbusters. No, we don’t know what that has to do with the Charlie’s Angels reboot either!

Relationship expert Michael Ficus joins the show to discuss how he unexpectedly made a familiar face gag on his fart while they were waiting in line for Subway sliders. Also, feel his shame as he describes his date seeing a Magnum Condom ad promoted in his Twitter feed when he doesn’t actually have “the goods.”

Substitute teacher Paul Dawson is upset that he lost out to deceased actor James Dean on an acting role he tried out for. He also recently was dismissed from a substitute teaching position because he ate 80 pieces of snack sized Halloween candy, had to move his bowels in the middle of a line dancing activity, and called a middle school student the “n-word” in frustration after she called him a “boomer.” Things just haven’t been going Paul’s way!

Survey analyst Nigel Lee claims to have analyzed how women respond to the Joker Dance being performed on the now infamous steep stairs in Brooklyn. He believes that women from all demographics have a strong sexual attraction to the dance, including “Panera Bread Moms” that can’t cook if their lives depended on it and “Chipotle Moms” that hope their kids get food poisoning eating a chicken burrito. Given this, Nigel says President Trump will win over women by dressing up like the Joker and doing an exact imitation of the Joker Dance on the steps. Nigel thinks women will be so turned on that they will demand Trump not be impeached. Oh, brother!

Travel agent Jeremy Gable is on the program to promote his “Total Satisfaction Holiday Ecstasy in Paradise” package. Would you spend 5 days and 4 nights at a Days Inn in Hawaii having sex with strangers despite the STD surge in Hawaii? If yes, Jeremy Gable would like to have your business!
