The Boredwalk Podcast

Tess, Ansley, and Gabe weigh in on the cognitive dissonance of evangelical MAGA's weird (and blasphemous) idolatry of their felonious orange demigogue. Kind of makes you wish the book of Revelation was real. Rapture, take us away!

They also weigh in on recent bills making their way through (red) state legislatures that are clearly designed to facilitate harming children.

Ansley then shouts out patient Boredwalk fans who are willing to engage with dum-dums in our social comments so we don't have to. You da real MVPs!

After a nice palate cleanser courtesy of customer Andrew W's review of his new Worse Days Ahead tank top, our intrepid co-hosts send the episode out by sharing their own answers to questions from Boredwalk's Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their thoughts on: the use of tax dollars that bothers them most, which songs must be played at their funerals, and their favorite buzzes.

We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls. Come commiserate & laugh with us!

Ansley, Gabe, and Tess from the Boredwalk content team are back, and Ansley uses the latest Chappell Roan controversy to spark an interesting convo about socio-political in-fighting amongst groups that should be busy building coalitions with each other instead of constantly vilifying people they agree with 95% of the time. Great advice!

Tess & Gabe do an excellent job of dissecting how this sort of performative virtue signaling and litmus testing alienates and radicalizes people and pushes them into the open arms of hate groups who use kindness as a Trojan horse to grow their ranks.

This dovetails with our co-hosts' response to a recent troll comment on one of Boredwalk's social media posts claiming that "content creator" isn't a real job, which is news to all of us, lol.

After a nice palate cleanser courtesy of fan Audrey Lucero's positive feedback and customer Kev's review of our Grievance Journal, our intrepid co-hosts send the episode out by sharing their own answers to questions from Boredwalk's Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their thoughts on the biggest misconceptions about where they live, which sounds instantly stress them out, and the life experiences they've had that ended up being a lot better than they anticipated.

Due to your insatiable appetite for schadenfreude, the leopards are back for a second helping of MAGA faces!

Ansley, Gabe, and Tess read and react to more news items of MAGA cultists getting exactly what they voted for last November. Everyone at Boredwalk HQ would much rather trade these snickers in for a functional democracy to replace the overtly racist and lawless authoritarian regime the red-hatted, non-voting, and 3rd-party-voting idiots have saddled the rest of us with, but when life gives you lemons, you gotta make that lemonade, y'know?

As before — and still amazingly — many of these members of the Leopards Ate My Face party continue to support Trump's overall agenda and behavior even as they list all the ways his policies have negatively impacted them and their loved ones. Cults, amirite?

After wallowing in disgust at MAGA cultists' persistent idiocy, our intrepid co-hosts enjoy a conversational palate cleanser courtesy of our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their thoughts on what kids today have easier than our co-hosts did, life experiences they built up in their heads but were disappointed by, and their most prized possessions.

We're back with another mini-episode! Tess Menzies & Ansley Hutchinson from Boredwalk's content team share some actionable ways that U.S. citizens who are unhappy with the way the new regime is operating can stand up against encroaching fascism. These include:

• Voting! Not just every four years during presidential elections, but in local and midterm elections whenever they pop up! None of this "mY vOtE dOeSn'T mAtTeR" nonsense. Live in a deep blue area and think your vote isn't "needed"? WRONG! Run up the score! Make it crystal clear to supporters of "the other candidate(s)" that their ideas and priorities are unpopular.

Live in a deep red area and think there's no way your vote can sway things? WRONG! Make the elected officials who win aware that their constituency isn't monolithic and that you and your likeminded voters expect a seat at the table, regardless of the electoral outcome!

• Coalition building! Stop in-fighting and purity testing! Find common ground with the folks you disagree with least and form a coalition with them to tackle the biggest problems that you DO agree on!

• Be media literate! Don't get sucked into arguments with bots and human trolls. It saps your energy and makes you feel like the other side is bigger than it is. Every social platform has mute, block, or restrict features. Use them to your advantage.

• Talk openly and proudly about your values and how bad policies are directly impacting you and the people you care about. This helps turn the tide as far as approval ratings and gets other people fired up and engaged.

Our co-hosts then read and respond to some recent social media comments on Boredwalk's posts, as well as a recent product review from a customer.

Things wrap up with Tess, Ansley, and Meredith trading personal anecdotes sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share which habits other people have that are annoying from the Venting Edition, and their favorite things on the internet from the Joy Edition.

In a rare treat since our return from podcasting hiatus, Boredwalk co-founder Meredith Erin sits in with Tess Menzies & Ansley Hutchinson from the content team to discuss the shockingly unconstitutional disregard of due process the new administration in the U.S. has been engaged in.

Meredith breaks down what due process is, describes some of the recent incidents of the federal government infringing on civil liberties of visitors and immigrants here in the U.S. legally, and why that is a threat to every U.S. citizen.

We'd be remiss if we just offered problems with no solutions, though! Meredith shares some really easy, low-effort ways to make your voice heard and put pressure on your elected representatives to fight back against this lawlessness.

Our co-hosts then read and respond to some recent social media comments on Boredwalk's posts, dissecting what misinformation & disinformation actually looks like in practice.

Things wrap up with Tess, Ansley, and Meredith trading personal anecdotes sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share opinions on restaurants whose popularity baffles them, hypocritical behaviors that annoy them most, and things that each of them considers to be an area of personal expertise. Tess and Ansley's are... surprising.

Ansley Hutchinson and Tess Menzies are back (sans our sickly pal Gabe Sanchez) to play a fun new game called "What's Going On Up There?" where they discuss three of the Trump administrations myriad (and ongoing) failures!

First up: Usha & JD Vance's embarrassing imperialist envoy to Greenland!

Secondly: Inflation is up, and consumer confidence is down. So much for "fixing" the "broken" economy on "Day One!" (Note: this was recorded prior to the "Liberation Day" press conference that resulted in a historic stock market meltdown that, as of this writing, is still ongoing.)

Finally: Unemployment is up, courtesy of hundreds of thousands of federal workers being abruptly laid off, just in time for tariff-induced inflation! Are we great yet or what?!

Our co-hosts then discuss the cultural discourse bubbling up about U.S. citizens emigrating to less embarrassing countries and the practicalities and impracticalities associated with such a major life decision.

Things wrap up with Tess & Ansley trading personal anecdotes sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share stories about seemingly small white lies that backfired on them, and things that they were into before they became popular.

Ansley, Gabe, and Tess are back in action calling out hypocrisy and nonsense left and (especially) right!

They point out the obvious projection on display in the Arkansas GOP's efforts to clearly criminalize (yet vaguely define) the innocuous things that constitute "gender-affirming social transitioning" activities that give them the ick. What snowflakes!

Tess also touches on the role that mockery and satire plays in fighting authoritarianism, Gabe dissects the extrajudicial grotesqueries that ICE and the DOJ are engaged in to keep us safe from autism activists & gay makeup artists, and Ansley dives into the distressing difficulties that both full U.S. citizens and legal green card & work visa holders are having coming and going between the U.S. and other countries. No wonder France wants the Statue of Liberty back!

Our co-hosts then discuss the latest dispatches from the Land of the Trolls before giving a shoutout to happy customer Arto for his glowing review of our Delve Deck Joy Edition.

The team wraps things up with personal stories sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share which musical artists they never want to hear again, where they would hide out during a zombie apocalypse, and what their favorite memories are. Always end on an up note!

It's a full house — or recording studio, anyway — as Gabe has escaped from New York and returned to join Ansley & Tess on the latest episode of the Boredwalk Podcast!

Keeping up with the pace of the unrelenting torrent of horrifyingly inhumane, bewilderingly incompetent, and breathtakingly stupid news items emanating from the stygian sludge of the broken commode where sound policy goes to die formerly known as the Oval Office can be tougher than containing a fast break in a lopsided March Madness matchup, but the Boredwalk content team always rises to the occasion!

They discuss recent attempts to get a tired MAGA insult legally classified as a mental disorder, the uptick in moderates and liberals arming and learning to defend themselves, embarrassing diplomatic gaffes that further isolate the United States from its historical (and likely to soon be former) geopolitical allies, and the growing list of ways in which the Trump 2.0 administration is failing to follow through on its campaign promises to his own supporters, including stopping inflation, reducing food prices and the cost of living more broadly, jumpstarting the U.S.'s long-dormant manufacturing sector, negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia, etc.

It's all exhausting enough to make you want to cheer the apocalypse on instead of forestalling its arrival, tbh.

Our co-hosts then check in on Boredwalk's social comment trolls and enjoy a good eye roll and chuckle at the ignorance and insanity on display in that icky little cesspool before wiping the slate clean with a nice review for one of our cozy hoodies!

The team wraps things up with personal stories sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their least-favorite ages (and why), what feels like therapy to them (that isn't actual therapy), and a quality in others they each admire. It's vital to end things on a positive note in these dark times!

Gabe is gallivanting around NYC, so Ansley & Tess are holding down the fort this week on the Boredwalk Podcast!

The topic du jour is the slightly satisfying schadenfreude Kamala Harris supporters have been enjoying over the last several weeks as Donnie Smoothbrain voters (and their morally bankrupt non-voting brethren) have realized that many of his policies are hurting them directly via higher prices on food, layoffs related to Elon's DOGE cuts, slow and insufficient responses to natural disasters triggered by cuts to FEMA funding and staffing, and tanking stock prices caused by chaotic and untargeted tariffs. It's been a predictable deluge of "but I thought he'd hurt OTHER people, not ME" whining.

Amazingly, many of these members of the Leopards Ate My Face party continue to support Trump even as they list all the ways his policies have negatively impacted them. Delusion is a helluva drug!

After wallowing in disgust at MAGA cultists' steadfast willful ignorance, our intrepid co-hosts enjoy a conversational palate cleanser courtesy of our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their least-favorite celebrities, favorite weird smells, and the most romantic things they've ever experienced.

Join us as Boredwalk's content team — Tess Menzies, Ansley Hutchinson, and Gabe Sanchez — discuss the goings on at Boredwalk HQ over the last week!

First up, our co-hosts read and react to a sampling of the more grotesque, offensive, and nonsensical troll comments on Boredwalk's recent social posts.

Ansley then reads a recent review from a Boredwalk customer (ICYMI, we don't just tell jokes, we sell products too)!

All three co-hosts then dive into fascinating discussions courtesy of our Delve Deck conversation card sets! Tess gets philosophical about her career path & desire for approval and validation from strangers, Gabe reflects on the power of saying "no" & his sweet tooth, and Ansley gets vulnerable about her neurodivergence & love of greasy fast food.

We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls. Come listen & laugh with us!
