The boys are back, well… not Phil. So we brought in Jon, an avid conservative media consumer (especially Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity) to help us break down just why these monsters are so popular. We also give a (not so) brief history of Roger Ailes and his role in the creation of the modern Republican party and the conservative wing of the media. Without Phil, Sly gets carte blanche to rip apart Capitalism. Darryl thinks all liberals are communists (we are). Ryan’s just a Jon Oliver copy. Just one more episode after this till Phil comes back!

Some topics discussed:

 	Roger Ailes
 	Richard Nixon
 	Rush Limbaugh
 	Trump as the ultimate Foxy Grandpa
 	Sinclair’s Media buyout
 	Mambo No 5
 	Greg Gianforte
 	Conservative Advertisers
 	And much more

Election Day was yesterday, but we recorded this on Sunday, so I really hope you people voted. I'm writing this on election day morning, from my dark room that only has 538 refreshing every 4 minutes and an IV to keep me hydrated from all the tears and nervous sweating. Am I rambling? No, you are. This is what QAnon sounds like, right? Just stupid rambling?

On this episode, we talk about some conspiracy theories. Just what the heck is QAnon and why do so many people think he has the inside scoop on which Democrats are about to go to jail? And is George Soros really the mastermind that the right pretends he is? Darryl just tries to have a little fun. Ryan debates with an attempted murderer. Phil has really just had enough of... everything. And Sly feels VERY strongly about Home Depot's donations.

Episode 49: Q: A Non-Intelligent Person’s Guide To George Soros

The world's on fire again, so we needed a break. What do you want from us? We're only human! We take a break from the news and/or history and talk about our family again. You know, those people that you can't stand that just share memes all day about how Irish people were slaves too and Obama's a Soros puppet who should be in jail? Yeah, those heroes.

In this episode, Ryan gives his strategy to help the police get the public to trust them again. Phil becomes the world's ultimate inventor. Darryl fears for his life. And Sly sells oil, but great oil that's very helpful from only the finest snakes.

Also it's Ryan's birthday the day this comes out, tell him happy birthday on twitter. @stoopkidliveson

Episode 46: Sometimes You Just Gotta Vent About Your Dumb Family’s Dumb Memes

The news is too intense this week, so we picked an evergreen topic to discuss, Silicon Valley. Is it a liberal utopia or a libertarian dystopia? Ryan breaks down why Elon Musk is the Trump of "intellectuals." Phil talks about just how unethical computer chips are. Sly breaks down one of the biggest and unknown scandals coming from Silicon Valley. And Darryl tells us some of the more bizarre ways workers in California commute and live to support this new age lifestyle.

And yeah, when people say Space X, I hear Space Sex, too. It's not just you.

Episode 44: Silicon-artist Valley And The Overhyped Brandian Supermen

It's a complicated one this time, everybody. We're talking trade and tariffs. Trump is waging trade wars with... everybody. So what does that even mean? Darryl breaks down just what NAFTA and NATO are. Ryan just struggles to understand any of his own opinions. Phil gives us a sneak peak of what his Economics students hear every. damn. day. And Sly gets off to other peoples' misery, as per usual.

For added context, we covered some of these talking points in more detail previously, in our China episode.

Ryan and Sly were just on They See Me Rollin’, a wonderful actual play podcast and we had a LOT of fun playing a one shot in Fiasco!

Episode 42: Trade And Tariffs – What Even Is That?

In this episode, the gang discusses the Supreme Court and how apolitical it is.

Justice Kennedy is retiring and Brett Kavanaugh is taking this place. What does this mean the country? Should we agree with the New York Times that this is a good thing? Was the Supreme Court always this bad? Is it bad on principle? Ryan makes sure we start off on a strong note. Sly discusses the long forgotten prequel to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Phil's been Phil and Darryl finds a serious oversight in the original Constitution.
