The Grift Show

The a/c in the studio being broken kept us down last week, but we weren't about to let that happen again, so its our very first remote shoot! A lot happened the last two weeks, and Rev and Gonzo are on location to do their best to make as much sense as possible of it all as only they can: entirely stream of consciousness.

It's June! That means Pride month is upon us. Why does that matter? Why should you care? LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER!

(Note: Gonzo and Rev. Al know why it's important, but we're not sure everyone else does, so we're pretending to learn this together to lure them in surreptitiously. It's a clever ruse, you see… a cunning attempt to trick people into empathy)

We're back again, this week delving into the myriad ways that our economy has been set up for failure due to systemic inadequacies. Its a hoot!

We can't help if its one of the top five best television shows of all time AND just so happens to be frighteningly relevant to our current real world predicament, can?

No. No we cannot. Because of that, and because the season and series are both complete, we don't feel the least bit bad about talking at length, again, about how much we love the entire project.

As usual, we also cover the news, which proved to be unusually harrowing over the last two weeks since the previous episode even by 2025's generally harrowing standards.

We recorded a few days later than usual due to the air-conditioning in the studio being out, but that just made the news more exciting and gave us more time to want to just talk about Andor, which is the best Star Wars has ever been.

As the nation passes the milestone of its first 100 days of what feels like an infinite nightmare, Rev and Gonzo look back on the many splendors both the United States and the world have been brought by the second term of Donald John Trump and his cadre of ghoulish advisors, enablers, and sycophants.

Have you ever wondered the deepest truths about the US immigration system? This week, Rev and Gonz will tell you EVERYTHING you really need to know!

Sometimes, when sitting down to record an episode, Gonzo and the ol' Rev look at one another and realize that if they had decided on a topic, they've both entirely forgotten what it might have been. The following episode is one of those times.

Are we off the rails? That would imply we were ever on them to begin with! Join Rev. Al and Gonzo as they crash out with nary a hint of focus over the unprecedentedly deranged events of the last week.

Have you given up all hope? Do you believe there's no chance of doing anything better, all attempts being destined to fail in their impotent futility?

Well listen up, friendo, Rev Al and Gonzo are here to explain why not only are you wrong, you're also kind of a bitch.

Enter the no-doomer zone, where hopelessness goes to die the wretched death it rightly deserves as the ol' hopeium-pipe gets stuffed down that little sadness hole in your heart, filling you with a sense of renewed purpose in a seemingly purposeless world.
