TAP Snaps

This week the boys discuss a company's move to eliminate 2 million chickens, because they simply don't know what to do with them. A new conspiracy theory emerges in the gutters of YouTube, and a California Commissioner throws his cat during an online Zoom meeting.

This week the boys go right into breaking news around the Facebook groups pushing for protests against quarantines in several states. The boys discuss the negative oil market and the insanity of how volatile crude oil has become.

Disney lays off 100,000 employees and cuts a check to shareholders, and Brian Kemp decides its time to re-open Georgia's economy to more essential businesses, like bowling alleys, gyms, and hair salons.

This week the boys discuss the recent happenings in China where Africans are being evicted from apartments, not being allowed services, and being arbitrarily quarantined.

Moving into some lighter coronavirus news, the boys discuss the man who was given a golden ticket in the form of an erroneous 8 million dollar stimulus deposit, and a drunk man who just wanted to teach his dog how to drive.

This week the boys go through a few stories from 'Rona-World. First, they cover the Philippines who seemingly have a far more aggressive approach to flattening the curve. Then we sink our teeth into some good'ole fashioned conspiracy nonsense, and move into a recent viral video with a tragic ending. Trying to approach these dire situations with levity is sometimes hard to do, but we gotta try anyway!

This weeks Imaginarium dives deep into Birds of Prey, or as deep as possible- and explores a tremendous amount of short comings. The boys explore the acting, cinematography, and very annoying details about the world. Tarver gets angry, Liam laughs, Blake cries.

This week the boys dive into some stories straight out of Rona'World. First a bio-terrorist, possibly under the influence of amphetamines, tries to rob a grocery store with her coughs. Alex Jone's InfoWars App is banned off the Google Play! Store, and Kentucky begins tasking law enforcement with GPS monitoring confirmed cases who are ordered to stay at home.

In this week's bonus episode, the boys take a look at Terminator: Dark Fate and try to make sense of an enormous flop of a movie. The boys are repeatedly left wondering what exactly Linda Hamilton is doing most of the movie, and the boys lament the untenable time paradox Dark Fate creates as it completely cuts off Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Terminator: Salvation, an Terminator: Genisys.

This week the boys are six feet apart as they discuss some of the recent happenings in Coronavirus-World. Harvey Weinstein somehow gets coronavirus which sets Blake's conspiracy alarm off. Senator Richard Burr abuses his position for profit(shocker!) and some states are treating marijuana as a basic and essential necessity.

This week the boys discuss three cases of US citizens dealing with the fallout of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Shit is WILD out here, boys.

Liam discusses how hording supplies and price gouging keeps you from becoming a folk hero. Tarver fondly remembers a time when it wasn't serious enough that we were in favor of a sick man's house being surrounded by police. Blake gives a Libertarian's point of view on France requiring citizens to document why they are leaving their houses.

This week the boys discuss the happening of Prince Andrew refusing to cooperate over his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, who didn’t kill himself.

Then we get into Reddit potentially killing itself by allowing intense corporate ‘sponsorship’ of trends, and what that may mean for the platform.

And in closing- exploring the insane depths that Corey Feldman has fallen to.
