  • A Million Tweets Doesn't Mean It's Right
    On this week's episode I talk about the shootings in Atlanta.  It has been called an anti Asian hate crime since minute one by tweeters and the media, but what's wrong with waiting for an investigation?  How many times do people have to have their initial knee jerk reaction proven wrong before they get it?  I also talk about the crisis at the border that is being talked about very differently this time around, the Globe and Mail thinks we are being too harsh on people for old tweets, and a report says that women in the trades make half as much men in trades.
    All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" and the "Ground News Blindspot of the Week" segments.

    All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" segment.

  • There Should Never Be Royals
    On this week's episode I talk a bit about the Meghan Markle/Harry interview with Oprah.  We need to stop paying attention to the royal family.  I also talk about Taylor Swift being offended by a joke about her on a Netflix show, Chris Cuomo suddenly can't talk about his brother, Dan Savage misses the mark when talking about circumcision, and I have a great chat with Steven Kerzner about Dr. Seuss and "cancel culture."  
    I also introduce my new segment, The "Ground News Blindspot of the week."  Ground News is an app that amalgamates dozens of news sources to show you how stories are being covered.  Does the left have a blindspot?  Does the right?  I pick a couple of stories and discuss.   
    All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" segment.

  • The Left And Right Can Agree, But Never At The Same Time
    On this week's episode I talk about Trudeau's refusal to call what's happening in China to the Uyghurs, a genocide, Trump gives a speech, and Biden puts kids in facilities, not cages.

  • Breaking News! Ted Cruz Is A Piece Of Sh*t!
    On this week's episode I talk about Ted Cruz fleeing his state when it was in an emergency.  The news cycle made a huge meal out of it, but what did anybody learn from this level of coverage?  I also talk about Amy Cooper, the dog walker V.S bird watcher in central park, getting released, and Facebook's feud with Australia.  My guest this week is Rob Pue.  We talk about Rush Limbaugh dying, and the concept "don't speak ill of the dead."  
     
    All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" segment.

  • An Honest Look At Cancel Culture
    On this week's episode I talk about Lou Dobbs, and Gina Carano.  One is an example of cancel culture.  One isn't.  It's also okay to be okay with people being canceled, but it's not okay to say it doesn't exist.  I also talk about an article "exposing" the alt right in comedy, and the WHO vindicates China for the Covid 19 outbreak, but why I think you should be skeptical about it.  My guest today is Brad Mills.  We talk about Bitcoin, the stock market, and Trump's second impeachment.  
    All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" segment.

  • Do As We Say Not As We Do
    On this week's episode I talk about the upcoming Olympics in Japan, and a letter signed by a thousand doctors saying kids should be back in school.  The reasonings, seem both flawed, and hypocritical.  I also talk about encrypting messaging apps being the next refuge of the far right, and left, and what the real solutions could be, as well as the ridiculous battle over AOC's location at the time of the riot.
     
    All of that and more!  Plus the "Tweets of the Week" segment.

  • Steal From The Rich. Not Those Rich!
    On this week's episode I talk about Gamestop, hedge funds, shorting stocks, the Robinhood app shutting out the everyman, AOC and Ted Cruz teaming up?  I also talk about the rich couple who went to the Yukon to sneak a vaccine.  I chat with Hunter Collins about covid and hockey.  Guiliani being sued for slander, and the news goes easy on Biden.
