Welcome to Episode 45! We cover Tucker's return announcement; he'll be doing his show on Twitter, just as we predicted last episode! Next, as two people who have ridden the NYC subway many times, we discuss the epic gaslighting involved in the Jordan Neely story. The media is sadly trying to make Hispanic White Supremacists a thing again with the recent shooting, and we finish up on a positive note - Bud Light sales are way down!

Welcome to Episode 44! We have a special show for the listeners. We brought on two students from Boston College, which was recently in the news for their Furry Professor, who assigned students to come to class in furry suits while teaching a "Beast Literature" course. In addition to that story, we touch on more Woke campus life, including how the school is turning their back on their Catholic values, how DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiatives are elevated over everything else, and a check-in on just how woke professors and the student body are today.

Instead of simply covering this obvious #WokeInTheWild furry story earlier on the show, we decided to reach out to the university students to talk. We'd love to have on more college students sharing their experiences, so for any listeners out there interested, contact us on Twitter @TheWokeAntidote, and we will also be reaching out to more colleges as they come up in the news.

A big thanks to these Boston College students for their time, and we hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to Episode 42! We have a full show this week discussing the accelerating wokeness going on in the country:

We hope you enjoy the episode, and please share with family and friends!

Tragic news struck the nation on Monday as the US experienced yet another mass shooting. In this event-focused episode we discuss:

1) How the media coverage of this particular tragedy - a transgender person targeting a Christian school - differed significantly from previous shootings

2) Why we think this specific shooting happened, including many themes from our previous shows

3) What can be done about it in the future

We aimed to have a long-form, thoughtful conversation free of political bias, where we searched for explanations and solutions, and we hope you feel the same.

Welcome to Episode 40! We have another jam-packed show, as the wokeness just doesn't stop!

Trump vs. DeSantis Heats Up: We give our takes on each candidate's strategy so far, and like what we're seeing from Vivek Ramaswamy

Silicon Valley Bank Failure: The bank was woke, for sure, but this is also a story of how poorly our current economic system is set up

China-Russia Summit: We are watching the US Empire and US dollar collapse before our very eyes

NBA Voters - Now Racist? Voting for white candidates is increasingly not allowed

Epic Gaslighting: Biden tougher on the border than Trump?! And we won't fall for climate change hysteria again

Woke in the Wild: White drivers are polluting air breathed by minorities per the liberal media

Welcome to a special Episode 39! For a wide ranging conversation about the current sad state of affairs in Western Society, we brought in friend of the show Joey from the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast. Joey routinely provides astute commentary on his podcast and Twitter feed, and we think our listeners will appreciate hearing his perspective on a variety of topics.

Welcome to Episode 38! We know it's been awhile and we are getting back on track to deliver this pod to you as the wokeness accelerates in 2023.

We start off with a discussion of the Bizarre Balloons - are they UFOs, Chinese spying, government lying, or all or none of the above? We can't tell what anymore. Next we laugh at the absurdity of the woke elite at Davos, saying climate change is our greatest threat but taking private jets there. Are they purposefully getting America and the West to commit economic suicide?

We then touch on the train chemical spill - why is this getting very little attention, why can't we stop these from happening nationwide, and why is Mayor Pete our Transportation Secretary? We weigh in on these questions and more. We then transition to discussing ChatGPT and Woke AI (Artificial Intelligence) - this could lead to serious trouble for humanity if it continues. And we wrap-up our current events discussion talking the Epic Gaslighting that was Joe Biden's State of the Union speech.

We then check-in on the massive layoffs going on in the Woke tech world, and TB takes us inside the belly of the beast, while SB gives his financial perspective on why companies are seeing their stock prices soar on the job cuts. One such company is Disney, which after going so woke it had to fire its CEO, is now cutting $5.5 Billion of annual costs to attempt to right the ship. We'll see if it works.

We finish the pod laughing about the latest dumb comments from CNN's Don Lemon before discussing whether Biden will be running in 2024, or will he get Cuomo'd, used for a purpose and never to be heard from again. And we close with a #WokeInTheWild on the left once again making a play for your children.

Welcome to Episode 37! We start off with a deep dive into Elon's reign at Twitter, including the recently released Twitter Files. Elon is bringing free speech to the social media platform whether far left journalists and haters like it or not. We are now seeing that Twitter was essentially being used as an operating subsidiary of the government, which likely comes as no surprise to most Woke Antidote listeners, but nonetheless is excellent to see out in the open. We are both feeling quite positive about the direction of the country with Elon promoting free speech so heavily. (0-37:00) 

Next we cover some large scale #DefundingTheWoke. Through a combination of economic weakness (thanks Bidenflation!), structural industry changes (people dropping cable TV subscriptions) and elevated investments in streaming (causing significant cash burn), media company earnings are down significantly. Every big company, including Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery (which owns CNN) is cutting costs drastically. While that will help - and a lot of woke employees are gone - we'll see if these companies fully embrace getting rid of wokeness to help their bottom lines. Disney's new (and former) beloved CEO Bob Iger is already signaling Disney will be going less woke, with DeSantis already having a cultural win against his predecessor in Florida. We then update our Trump vs. DeSantis thoughts, where SB is discouraged by the recent Trump NFT release. (38:00-1:06) 

We next cover the FTX scandal, where it appears as if $10 Billion was stolen from customers and much of that was funneled into far left politicians and media outlets. The founder knew that donating to liberals would mean very little scrutiny of his companies' actions. (1:06-1:17) 

We finish up with a Sports Corner on TB's Yankees/Giants and SB's Red Sox/Patriots (1:17-1:33) and a look at a bizarre show airing on TLC starting this January, before closing out with a message of hope for how positive things are going, but also how we need to progress from here. (1:33-1:47).  Thanks for listening and please share with your friends and on Twitter, follow us on Twitter at @TheWokeAntidote and leave us a 5-star review!
