This week, we honor the incomparable Dolly Parton and celebrate the music, wit, generosity, and one-of-a-kind spirit that made her a cultural icon.

Then the conversation takes several hard turns as we examine the Lindsay Clancy trial, the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York in an alleged prostitution sting, and a disturbing study revealing the prevalence of CTE among deceased former NFL players.

Plus, Therapy Questions asks: Would society survive if everyone received one consequence-free slap per year? Would brutally honest blame percentages kill the apology? Why do ghosts respect property lines? And is it more powerful to detect a lie—or make someone comfortable enough to tell you the truth?

It’s grief, scandal, uncomfortable truths, paranormal loopholes, and one extremely dangerous hypothetical slap.

Thank you for calling Earth. Your planet is very important to us. Please remain on the line while humanity continues making everything significantly weirder.

This week on Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod, Andrew and Joseph decide who should represent Earth’s customer service department, devise a one-year plan to turn Grandma into an internet celebrity, upgrade their bodies with animal parts, and determine which corporation would pay the most to permanently sponsor a human being.

Then it’s on to the increasingly complicated battle over who profits from AI-generated music, the fight between fact and fiction surrounding the Tupac Shakur murder trial, a Chucky-masked creep allegedly chasing a jogger through Philadelphia, and why South Korea’s president says the country must prepare for the “worst-case scenario.”

AI lawsuits. Tupac conspiracies. Influencer grandmas. Corporate forehead tattoos. Just another completely normal call to Planet Earth.

🎙️ Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod — Episode 235: “Thank You for Calling Earth”

This week, Andrew and Joseph are asking the important Therapy Questions: If every historical figure got one podcast episode, who would break the internet? What’s the first thing humanity would do if unicorns turned out to be real? Which decade would have the most annoying personality? And if every billionaire had to start over with only $100, who would claw their way back to the top first?

Then the flocking madness begins. The guys break down the growing backlash against surveillance cameras in North Texas, Trump’s Patriot Games and the uncomfortable history of youth sports as propaganda, why Mike Lindell might have a legitimate shot in Minnesota, and America’s credit card debt climbing toward an all-time record of $1.26 trillion.

Unicorns, billionaires, propaganda, surveillance and crippling debt—just another completely normal week on Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod.

How fast can life go completely off the rails? This week, we’re testing that theory.

We kick things off with another round of Therapy Questions, including:

* What’s the most useless skill you’d instantly master?

* If Earth had one official mascot, who gives humanity our best shot?

* Which historical event deserves a modern sports broadcast?

* And which internet conspiracy would you finally want the real answer to?

Then we dive into a packed week of headlines:

🎬 Hollywood’s silence grows as new allegations surrounding Jared Leto continue to surface and major industry figures keep their distance.

🏛️ The Reflecting Pool controversy escalates, raising fresh questions about government oversight and accountability.

🔥 An alleged arsonist appears in court after the devastating Spokane wildfires, as investigators continue piecing together what happened.

🚨 A man carrying ammunition is arrested near Donald Trump’s golf course outside Los Angeles, prompting another major security scare.

As always, expect questionable opinions, unnecessary confidence, and just enough chaos to keep everyone out of prison… hopefully.

📰 Articles Discussed

* NBC News — Jared Leto allegations

* MSNBC — Trump’s Reflecting Pool controversy

* NPR — Spokane wildfire arson suspect

* NPR — Man arrested near Trump’s golf course

🎧 New episodes every week. If you laughed, got offended, or questioned humanity, hit Follow, leave a 5-star rating, and share the show with someone who’d definitely need more than 30 Seconds To Prison.

What do Chinese humanoid robots, pepper-spraying security drones, nationwide airline outages, and Reddit existing during the Roman Empire all have in common?

Absolutely nothing… which is exactly why we’re talking about all of it.

This week, the guys break down the latest headlines, including raging wildfires, schools experimenting with pepper-spraying drones as an active-shooter response, the U.S. government’s move to ban new Chinese humanoid robots, and the American Airlines IT meltdown that briefly grounded flights across the country. Then, as always, things spiral into complete nonsense with another round of Therapy Questions that somehow become the most heated debates of the episode.

This week’s Therapy Questions:

• If your browser history became a Netflix documentary, what would it be called?

• Which comedian should humanity send to negotiate with aliens?

• Which historical era would create the greatest subreddit if Reddit had always existed?

• If billionaires had to compete on a game show to keep their fortunes, what would Round One be?

Current events, ridiculous hypotheticals, questionable logic, and enough side quests to make Google Maps recalculate.

🎙️ New episodes every week. Come talk shit… or get off the pod.

This week, we’re serving up a combo meal of bad decisions, bizarre headlines, and the internet’s favorite game: asking questions nobody can answer without immediately starting an argument.

In this week’s Therapy Questions, humanity gets exactly 30 seconds to impress an advanced alien civilization… what do we show them? Which chain restaurant would become the most powerful sovereign nation? If every wedding had to include a sporting event, which one guarantees absolute chaos? And if one animal could legally testify in court, which species would juries trust the most?

Then we break down one of the most appropriately named episodes in podcast history…

🥬 Taco Bell finds itself at the center of a lettuce-linked outbreak, forcing us to rebrand one of the most recognizable slogans in fast food history from “Live Más” to “Shit Más.”

⛽ We discuss Trump’s proposed “Freedom Fuel” plan and whether it’s a legitimate solution to rising gas prices or simply another political catchphrase.

🌲 And somehow the wildest story of the week involves a father and son allegedly kidnapping two U.S. Forest Service biologists at gunpoint, a headline that somehow gets even stranger the deeper you dig.

Grab your headphones, skip the extra lettuce, and join us for another episode full of ridiculous debates, questionable opinions, and the kind of conversations that make absolutely no sense until they somehow do.

Welcome to Episode 231… “Shit Más.” 🌮🎙️

Episode 230 is here, and this week we’re asking the kinds of questions that somehow start as harmless hypotheticals… and end in full-blown societal collapse.

What happens when every animal suddenly becomes as smart as humans and which species immediately starts the first war? If civilization had to reboot from scratch with only one profession left alive, who’s carrying humanity across the finish line? Could one U.S. state actually survive a battle against the other 49? And if every elevator suddenly had one mysterious extra button… are you brave enough to press it?

Then we dive into one of the biggest headlines of the week following the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, the House’s vote to make Daylight Saving Time permanent (so maybe we can finally stop arguing over changing the clocks twice a year), and a judge’s sharp criticism of President Trump’s IRS lawsuit, saying he attempted to manipulate the judicial process in pursuit of a massive $1.8 billion claim.

As always, expect hot takes, bad ideas presented with confidence, completely unnecessary debates, and enough laughs to make your therapist proud or concerned.

Welcome to Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod.

Episode 229 is all over the map—in the best way possible.

This week, we’re debating the only Olympics that actually matter: if every animal competed, which species walks away with the most gold medals? We also imagine a world where everyone wakes up famous overnight, decide which modern invention we’d use to completely blow the minds of someone from the year 1200, and settle the surprisingly important question of which sound deserves to be erased from existence forever.

Then we jump into some of the week’s wildest headlines: Texas schools moving toward required Bible readings, controversy surrounding the Freedom 250 project, and much more.

As always, expect bad takes, questionable logic, unnecessary confidence, and just enough accidental insight to make us sound smarter than we are.

Pull up a chair, join the conversation, and remember…

This week on Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod, we tackle the question that could reshape democracy forever: if every animal got one vote, who becomes President of Earth? The answer starts with gorillas, takes a hard left into insect super PACs, and somehow gets even weirder from there.

We also debate whether unlimited free gas beats never waiting in line again, figure out which historical figure would become the most dangerous social-media influencer of all time, and game out the economic winners if aliens decided tomorrow was the perfect day to make first contact.

In the news, we discuss the nationwide manhunt for a suspect connected to a Kansas City shooting spree as authorities race to locate him before the upcoming FIFA World Cup, break down a Supreme Court ruling involving religious freedom and prison policy, and check in on SpaceX stock after a rocky debut that saw shares dip before bouncing back.

As always, there are bad ideas, questionable logic, unsolicited expertise, and a disturbing amount of confidence from two guys who probably shouldn’t be trusted with national policy decisions—human or animal.

Grab a drink, cast your vote, and remember: the ants are watching.

A This week on Talk Shit Or Get Off The Pod, the boys are back with another important cultural debate: what exactly belongs in the gift shop of the Museum of You? A commemorative hoodie? A shot glass? A scented candle called “Bad Decisions & Good Stories”? From there, things only get more cursed as Andrew and Joseph tackle the impossible anatomy question of whether it’s worse to be 10 years old from the neck up or the neck down.

The Therapy Questions spiral into baldness strategy, daily hair-based humiliation, and the ultimate villain career path: would you rather be a drug lord or a cult leader? Somehow, everyone leaves looking suspicious.

Then the episode hits the headlines: the Strait of Hormuz possibly reopening while ships wonder if “technically open” means “actually safe,” an Ohio man allegedly plotting an attack around a White House UFC event, hackers leaking Knicks and Madison Square Garden data, and Cursor’s 25-year-old CEO landing in the middle of a massive SpaceX deal.

It’s geopolitics, cybercrime, cult leadership, hair loss, oil routes, billion-dollar tech moves, and two idiots trying to figure out what their museum gift shops would sell.

New episode out now.
