POD of the South episodes

  • Has Trump Finally Jumped the Shark?
    The boys ponder whether even the die-hards are turning on this turd of a President. In a week that saw him go full Saruman and start cutting down hundreds of trees in DC, going back on his vehement anti-mail-in-voting stance, and getting wrapped on the knuckles for airing taxpayer-funded propaganda, it sort of feels like we’re at the end of something. They also discuss some Arkansas politics and some southern music favorites.

  • Republicans: Dumber than Schmitt
    The boys are back to talk about Trump TV, how the president bowed to China’s communist president, more corruption from the administration that will surely go unpunished, a GOP senator’s massive self-own, and some musical events they’re looking forward to. This is a good one. We hope you’ll listen.
    37 min
  • Down with AI, long live Oasis!
    The boys are back to talk about how AI might destroy us all, Trump’s plan to actually become money, and how the incredible Oasis documentary is a testament to what little good is left in the world. Join us!
    45 min
  • Trump straight-up bribes voters
    The boys talk about how the Trumpapalooza convention in Dallas reeks of desperation, Trump’s bribe to voters, how the Republican party has no principles, and how Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders refuses to spend any political capital on helping sick kids.

  • We’re Instagram Famous Now
    This week the boys talk about all the would-be scandals of the past week, their brush with internet fame over a viral Insta post, and how Dolly Parton will be remembered.

  • Some hopefulness, for a change
    The boys are back to talk about all the crazy sh*t that’s happened over the last week, plus they review some of their viewer feedback (surprise, it’s mostly homophobic insults), and talk about some hopeful things you can hang your hat on, at least for now. They also talk about music and food recommendations, including Sierra Ferrell and Lee Bains III.
    36 min
  • Enjoy the Diarrhea and measles
    The boys talk about the latest string of would-be scandals coming out of 47 and Co., how the incompetence of the current administration is actually killing people, and try to sort out what’s worth talking about in the aftermath of the Michigan primaries.
    34 min
  • DISTRACTIONS, DISTRACTIONS
    The boys run down all the should-be scandals that have happened since the last episode, what happens when the AI bubble pops (and it will pop), and how Republicans have decided COVID actually was bad and are now trying to pin the deaths on Anthony Fauci. It’s all very exhausting.
    43 min
  • What fresh hell happened this week?
    The boys give a rundown of all the things that happened this week that would have been a press-stopping scandal in any other administration. We’re gonna do this every week now. They go on to discuss the coming AI bubble, data centers, Trump’s shoe-horned World Cup photo op, and how THE ODYSSEY is an absolute banger.

  • They're literally killin' us
    This White House means death. This “pro-life” administration continues to kill people at an astounding clip. ICE took two lives in one week while the DOGE-cut death toll continues to rise. The boys talk about how everything feels impossibly heavy right now and where they’re finding any silver linings.
