When the Deadlight Starts Shining Through Their Eyes
They’re coming for us. The supreme court has taken away your very bodily autonomy, and they won’t stop there. The Fed is engineering a recession to further proletarianize you. It’s a class war, folks, and we know what side we’re on.

This Side of Paradise
This one is a downer. We're still rambling on about abortion rights because we can't help it. For flavor there is also both a Boeing update and a Star trek update. Both involve the inevitability of WWIII.

Oops, Dems Did it Again
With the recent leak of a draft decision indicating that the Supreme Court plans to reverse Roe v. Wade later this summer, the guys take a trip down memory lane and trace how the anti-abortion movement evolved from an extreme minority position to an extreme minority position with billions of dollars in funding and the support of both parties. We finish by suggesting things that you can do that are more useful than voting.

All We Do Is Wing
Greg and Wes give us a review of DJ Khaled's new ghost restaurant and then we welcome Sidney, Billie, and Liz on the show to talk about how they helped to unionize local Starbucks stores and what it takes to roast management’s anti-union campaigns. Finally, we discuss some late breaking news courtesy of the octogenarian freaks in the wizard’s chamber in the nation’s capital.

Cash Poor
We ask, “Can a police officer be fined for not-wearing a mask in a casino, if the casino is there to pay off judgements and fines against the police in the first place?” Then we explore the gritty, dark-night of housing in America.
