Episode 446: Ivana is Useful to Donny!

Bart and Norma discover that Ivana Trump is finally useful to someone...as a tax break. After a thorough roasting by her "family" giving their twisted versions of eulogies, she was laid to rest in a GOLF COURSE so Donny Sr. could enjoy tax breaks for his golf/farm/cemetery! Congratulations!

Episode 445: A Quiet Week

Bart and Norma had a relatively quiet week. This episode we cover a lot of mind-bendingly idiotic stories of cognitive dissonance, a pastor robbed of quadrillions of dollars of jewelry during a livestreamed service, and a chess robot that insists you play by the rules!

Episode 442: The Zombie Episode (Almost Live!)

It's a hectic time! We have trips, holidays, and general tons-o'-stuff to do! But I didn't want to go too long without an episode, so this is a recording of a "raw" recording session. No editing. No music. So if you've ever wondered what the episodes are like without removing the pauses, "um"s, and occasional verbal meandering (yes, as bad as it gets, I actually edit them down...), here's your chance to hear it!

Most of the episode focuses on the latest Roe V. Wade judgement from the SCOTUS, but there are some occasional mentions of things like Hooters and PornHub. So...listener, beware!

Episode 440: Let Us Talk About Guns. Again.

Bart and Norma mostly talk guns. I mean, it's what has been happening lately. Again. This time, police sat outside and had a tailgate party while listening to the "bad guy" shoot the victims...just kidding. They were holding back parents and onlookers to keep them from going in while listening to the "bad guy" shoot people. 

But we also talk about brain scans, adult toys, and not swallowing meth when running from police.
