The Grift Show

24 years ago today the trajectory of the United States was changed forever, inexorably leading to everything we're all dealing with today. Yesterday the trajectory of media punditry was also changed forever. Rev and Gonzo talk about both, almost exclusively.

The boys are back after a week off and this is a loud one. Rev and Gonzo cover all the week's news that they can remember off the top of their ill-prepared heads, culminating in a much-needed, co-op diatribe about all the ways that everyone has caused nothing but infuriation with their nonsense.

With that godawful Christopher Columbus clip making the rounds again on social media, Rev and Gonzo explore just a small number of the nigh infinite ways Dennis Prager and his fake "university" are the ghoulish worst.

We cover a lot this week.

We don't like ICE. At all. In fact, you could say we hate ICE. This is the episode why we explain why.

Doesn't really get more straightforward than that, does it?

Not gonna lie, this is not an episode where we have what anyone could call a topic. Fortunately, we're often at our best when we're running entirely on vibes and getting sidetracked

You do get extended rants about Star Trek II and 7th Heaven, though, so you've got that to look forward to.

Rev. Al has a thesis about right wing populism that he's developed, and dammit, he intends to share it to anyone who'll listen (and anyone who won't)

We also cover the news, as usual, and gush lovingly about James Gunn's brilliant new Superman (THERE WILL BE SPOILERS)

Hey! We're back after yet another unexpected week off due to yet another catastrophic air-conditioning failure in the studio!

Join us as we talk about as much of the things that have happened that our respective ADHD will allow us to talk about without getting distracted, most of which does, in fact, revolve around our boy Donnie's less-than-stable reaction to no one believing there's nothing to see in the Epstein files.

Where does one even begin with this past week? Nothing good happened. We discuss all the not-good until we decide we can't discuss it anymore. What else is there even to say at this point, eh?

Jesus Christ, a lot can happen in a single week, and we're here, powered by ADHD and mild substances, to wade through it all as best we can. Is it WWIII? Is NYC a glimpse of our future? Also, what's this about Gonzo being the leader of a cult he didn't know about when he was in the eighth gade? Let's find out!
