The Complete Disaster Podcast

Sean Hampton was arrested for impersonating a police officer. That's not what he's famous for, but it is the first thing we bring up. Don't worry, it was all a big misunderstanding. Today he's most well known for being the producer of the Matt Walsh show from 2019 to 2025, a success we attribute to him coming on our show and learning about the glory of podcasting.

If you're wondering where lost episode #54 is, I'm keeping that one in the vault because it's really bad.

Clabe Taylor is the author of TexMex, a book about how useless the government is at fighting Mexican cartels. It was written in 2012, but it could have been written today. Or in 2002. Or in 1992. You get the picture.

Laura Ortiz was a regular on Holliston, where her name was also Laura. Despite sounding like she's 11, we have it on good authority that she was not.

Jimmy Francis's wife, Juliet, is raising money to fight Alzheimer's through My BOB Country. Dan, Alex's husband, is doing a bike ride for Alzheimer's. And of course, Tom is fighting it directly by zapping it out of his brain, or whatever. Details are still a bit fuzzy on what exactly he does. But the point is, humanity is uniting in the battle against Alzheimer's. Could a cure be on the horizon?

Toy Story 5 is set to be the latest billion dollar hit. And why shouldn't it? It's a beloved franchise, and they're returning to their roots of making poignant observations via talking toys. Maternal Instinct, on the other hand, is twisted in every way a documentary can be. We recommend taking the kids to see the former.

It was supposed to be last weekend. Then it was supposed to be this weekend. Now it's the weekend of the 4th? We're starting to wonder if this wedding is happening at all. Not that we're that starved for entertainment. We've got plenty of clips of people experiencing America for the first time thanks to the World Cup.

Nick's in the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Maybe he'd have had more warning if he had used the new (as of roughly 1990) Super Doppler Radar. You may be thinking "how could doppler radar possibly predict appendicitis?", and you'd be right to do so. But this is Super Doppler. It can do anything. Probably.

Constance's son Miles had brain surgery at just six years old. That's tough. Lots of emotions involved. Kids always feel emotions, but they rarely fully understand them, which can lead to strange behavior and difficulty as a parent. Enter color theory, which helps kids communicate how they feel using colors rather than specific language. Are you feeling turquoise today? If so, visit https://www.colorfulcapesoffeelings.com/. By the way, turquoise is the color I've assigned to curiosity.
