If you want to learn how modern political pandering turns into unintentional comedy, this episode is a masterclass. In this edition of Barrett & Baxa – 10 Minutes of Truth, Steve and Bob break down Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s now-viral attempts to pander to Somali voters by butchering the Somali language so badly it sounds like a deleted scene from Bridesmaids.

We analyze the now-legendary mashup comparing Frey’s awkward Somali speeches to Kristen Wiig’s famously painful Spanish scene — and spoiler alert: the vibes are identical. From campaign optics and identity politics to food-photo ops and forced cultural performances, this episode shows how political pandering often backfires into parody.

But it doesn’t stop at comedy. Steve and Bob connect the dots between voter pandering, media silence, and one of the largest alleged welfare fraud scandals in U.S. history — while legacy networks spend more time covering Trump complaining about fraud than the fraud itself.

If you want to understand media bias, political theater, and why voters are laughing instead of listening, this episode delivers the truth with punchlines.
