Minion Death Cult

Today I chatted with a couple of my Teamster siblings about their experience working part-time for the multi-billion dollar UPS--detailing unsafe working conditions, harassment and irregular schedules.

I asked them how they feel about the current contract fight with the company. Are part-timers aware of their importance in these negotiations, and is there a way to get them more involved?

What do part-timers stand to gain from a strong Union contract? How will it affect the company moving forward? How will it affect the union? All of this and more on today's episode.

Today Miles Klee of Rolling Stone joins us to talk Sound of Freedom, the child-trafficking action(?) movie dominating theaters and leaving its fans to say "if you didn't like it, you're a pedophile."

We cover the morose film and the gruesome promotional push behind it, including twitter copypasta and weepy tik toks, learn about the film's real-life vigilante, and read from deranged responses to Miles Klee and his Rolling Stone article critical of the film.

Remember: "Never trust a pedophile"

In honor of the current WGA strike, the boys from Talking Simpsons help us tackle a South Park episode mocking the previous strike in 07-08.

We wade through a painful dearth of jokes and mind-altering note-for-note renditions of viral videos to see how foolish anyone would have to be to strike for "internet money"

People are getting upset on planes. We're documenting it. Here to help us is Travis View of the Q Anon Anonymous podcast.

We cover the conspiracy theory gripping the nation: a woman aboard an aircraft accused her seat neighbor of being not real

Why did this vague proclamation strike such a chord with right-wing conspiracists, and what does it say about the movement at large?

Following in the same vein, we look at another new conspiracy theory: the WEF is planning on banning fashion. You will dress blandly, and you will like it.

Sorry for the late episode everyone. Alexander had a minor injury and some union duties to carry out, but we're back

Today we catch up with UPS-Teamster negotiations, including the elimination of the 22.4 job category, and MLK Day as a paid holiday. Will UPS agree to a fair contract in time to avert a strike?

We also address a baffling concern about Teamsters President Sean O'Brien turning his back on working people by not wearing blue jeans, potential scabs who want to remain friendly with coworkers after crossing a picket line, and one man's bizarre arguments against a paid day off

Also: The supreme court has ended affirmative action, but we hear a reassuring response from a black orphan who didnt need the program to start his patriotic pancake company

Finally: NYC Mayor Eric Adams compares an elderly, holocaust-surviving tennants' rights organizer to a plantation slave owner for daring to ask him about unaffordable rent increases. We find the two people outside of Adam's administration that this deflection worked on.
