October 23, 2025 Justice For Caleb: A Father's Fight
Stephen Quick, father of Caleb Quick, joins the show to discuss the tragic murder of his son and the ongoing case involving two teenagers charged in connection with the crime. Under California’s Proposition 57—the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016—the suspects may qualify for juvenile sentencing, potentially serving only 3 to 4 years before release, depending on whether they are tried as adults. Stephen is advocating for the teens to be prosecuted as adults in pursuit of justice for his son.

Move over holy water—this week, we’re breaking bread with history. Archaeologists have unearthed a 1,200-year-old loaf of bread… with what appears to be the image of Jesus baked right into it. Was it divine intervention or just ancient branding?

Join us as we toast this miraculous carb and ask: is this the holiest sourdough ever discovered?

October 16, 2025 Bernie & AOC: Unfiltered & Unhinged On CNN
Last night on CNN, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the stage—and promptly lit it on fire. AOC accused Deloitte (yes, the accounting firm) of dumping toxic chemicals into rivers, while Bernie finally admitted the shutdown isn’t about the American people—it’s about stopping Trump. Things got spicy when a question about Chuck Schumer dodging a primary challenge from AOC triggered a full-on Bernie mansplaining moment. AOC followed up with a gender lecture blaming the GOP for toxic masculinity and the decline of young men. If you’re wondering what just happened… so are we. Buckle up.
