Tuckered Out

The Bill O'Reilly episode is here. We look at O'Reilly's 21 year run on Fox News, and then explore what he's been doing since his firing from Fox in 2017. And ultimately, we try to make sense of what changed--and maybe importantly, what hasn't changed-- to create an environment where someone like Tucker Carlson can thrive where O' Reilly once reigned. Plus, Dana Loesch has some bizarre thoughts on cereal.

Is the FBI responsible for the January 6th riots? The answer is no, but Tucker is pretty sure they are anyway.  Plus, we delve into the evils of bird racism, and a whole bunch of old fashioned regular racism too. And on the other side, we're reminded that the games Tucker likes to play with the truth only work because the institutions he attacks are already broken. 

In this episode, we finish up our exploration into what Tucker's brand of post-Trump conservatism looks like, with two more Tucker Carlson Today Interviews. First, dangerous theocrat Sohrab Amari explains how the nefarious minds at OkCupid have made riding the subway into an even more traumatic experience. Then, we dive into the depressing world of Pedro Gonzalez and struggle to disentangle his deceptions.

This week, Troy and Tyler recorded 80% of a great episode that was then tragically lost. So this week, we bring you a mini episode exploring Tucker's interview with Alex Berenson about the dangers of marijuana legalization. 

We'll be back next week with a regular episode.

This week, noted chicken-enthusiast Tucker Carlson takes on a wildly bigoted journey, and sows some international terror along the way. Plus, we learn about brain-swapping technology with Senator John Kennedy, sort-of-kind-of agree with Tucker about John Cena, and finally answer the age old question: How long can a shrimp run on a treadmill?

Quick warning, this episode does contain a fairly explicit description of surgery complications, as well as a lot of blatant transphobia

In this week's exploration of Tucker Carlson's fundamental stupidity, we watch him struggle to find an explanation for the new CDC mask guidelines, glean some new information about a few of his mortal enemies, and learn about the sacred bond between Man and Chicken.

In this episode we continue our investigation into Tucker Carlson's life and character outside of his TV show. Tucker walks us through the three things that he has learned about the Left, and we try to reverse engineer those lessons into an understanding of why Tucker Carlson is the way he is. Plus, when and why did he stop wearing the bowtie?

Tucker Carlson 2024? We look into the rumors that Tucker will soon run for office. Plus, we wade through a whole bunch of vaccine related nonsense.

This week, Tucker struggles to digest the verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial, and he brings on a cavalcade of guests to help him sort out his feelings. Plus: Who exactly is still advertising on Tucker's show? We decided to investigate.
