Episode 61: PropagandaU – 05.24.21

Hey All, Shay and Justin are back to discuss the new COVID numbers and CDC mask guidance. We check in to see how screwed Rep. Gaetz is currently and do a deep dive on PragerU, the right-wing propaganda YouTube page that REALLY annoys us because of how out of touch and cringe it really is at its core. And of course, we discuss all the movies and shows we are watching that make us dumber.

Hey All, Shay and Justin are joined tonight by our buddy Dave to discuss all of the news that annoys us this week. We discuss our current and future COVID-19 situations and how we could be helping India and other countries. Then we make fun of Rep. Matt Gaetz and Arizona Republicans for a good bit and as always discuss what we’ve been watching recently.

*Host Notes: Apparently this track got uploaded to my other account my mistake instead of this account. So here it is....again...weeks after we recorded it. Oh, well. This is why we make no bucks.

Hey All, this week we take a little different take. Shay was busy so Justin decided to do a rebuttal of Harrison Smith’s dismissal of a recent article of the fantastic podcast ‘Knowledge Fight’ in the New York Times. The Times did a great write up of the podcast’s mission to explain Alex Jones and the Infowars media universe but Smith, host of ‘The American Journal’ could not take the criticism and leveled a lot of unfounded and ad hominem attacks against Dan and Jordan. We know that the hosts of ‘Knowledge Fight’ won’t respond, but Justin has less integrity and decided to just crap all over Harrison Smith and his projection of the failures of Infowars on the guys of ‘Knowledge Fight’

Hey All, Shay is back to talk to Justin about all the news of the day including Trump fleecing the hell outta his “supporters” and Mat Gaetz being accused of sex trafficking a minor (QAnon, come get ya boy…). And we go really deep into our thoughts on ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ and try to remember if there were any humans in it we cared about.

Hey All, Shay had to sit this one out, so Justin sat down with Adam and Phil to talk through some of the insanity of our current politics. From Justin’s reluctant optimism of the COVID numbers to the blatant insanity of the GOP’s attack on voting in GA and other states. That discussion finally leads us to ask: “Are you Filibuster Reform curious?”.

Shay and Justin are back to catch up on all the nonsense we missed in our hiatus. We take about CPAC and it’s many faceplants and fall down a deep deep hole talking about ‘Godzilla vs King King’ we’re so excited for at the end of the month. We’re just nerds, sorry...

Shay and Justin are back to discuss all the interesting news and how much we need unity. That and we geek out hardcore about ‘Godzilla vs Kong’.

Shay and Justin are back to discuss the complete garbage that was last week. We talk about the good and bad news in the ongoing global pandemic, the unusual bright spot of Democrats taking the Senate with two runoff wins in GA and finally the right-wing insurrection that attempted to block a free and fair election. Spoiler Alert: It was not Antifa.

Shay and Justin are back to drink about the news of the day. We discuss the availability and hypocrisy of certain lawmakers taking the vaccine. We try to keep up with all the dumb ways Trump and his followers are trying to overturn a free and fair election…that they lost. We dip in on the slow collapse of Alex Jones’ batshit empire and finally do a confusing dive into what the absolute hell was going on in ‘Wonder Woman ‘84’.

Shay and Justin are back to discuss the eleventeen court cases that the Trump campaign has lost and “the big one” that clinched it for Biden right before the Electoral College voted. We drink too much.
