  • Episode 164: #Iran #RegimeChange #NeoConDon #NoKings
    Jun 23 2025

    Cathy and Troy cathartically explore our millennial rage at the prospect of another war in the middle east based on eliminating "weapons of mass destruction" merely 4 years after we celebrated on this very show the end of the 20 year war in Afghanistan. When that war started, Troy was 19, Cathy was 20. When it ended, Troy was 39 and Cathy was 40. Here we go again.

    World War 3? Sure. Why not. Add it to the list of once in a lifetime world events Millennials have seen. Fuck Donald Trump.

    May 19 2025

    Troy and Cathy break down the United States rapidly devolving into an apartheid state, guilty of crimes against humanity, as America's gestapo, the Department of Homeland Security, considers participating in a reality tv game show where undocumented migrants are thrown into the Hunger Games– competing in challenges in order to get the right to stay in the country.

    Meanwhile, a black nurse in Georgia dies pregnant and past the abortion cut off– so the state mandates her body be kept functioning with machines to incubate the non-viable fetus, in an episode of the Handmaid's Tale come to horrifying reality.

    And wealthy white South Africans are fast tracked for refugee status in the United States by Donald Trump and Elon Musk because of their racist fears of living in a majority black nation, while actual refugees facing actual genocide in Sudan, Congo, and Afghanistan are left to rot by Trump who banned them from entering the country.

  • Episode 162: #AmericanPope #MoralLeadership #TroyCalledIt
    May 12 2025

    Cathy and Troy break down the new American Pope, Leo XIV, after Troy called it in the last episode. Was this an absolutely stellar political move on the part of the Cardinals to put an American in power on the global stage to counter Donald Trump?

    A pro-immigration, pro-social justice Pope that can stand up to Trump and continue to exert moral American leadership on the world stage? We are here for it.

    We discuss the symbolism and spirituality, and the politics, of the Catholic church stepping up as a force for good in a rapidly devolving world.
