TayTay Wins the Superbowl
February 13, 2024 22:30 - 43 minutes - 43.7 MBBart and Norma had a relatively quiet week...we've had a few of those, for the most part, recently? Maybe? Now we're going to be cursed for thinking that. This week we discuss the successful Superbowl brainwashing of America with Operation TayTay, Trump insists TayTay would be a disloyal traitor if she didn't endorse him since he made her such a rich superstar, Paramount+ pretended their Superbowl streaming failures were minor and somehow Rob Schneider became a topic, mostly about mental h...

That's not at all weird, is it Mr. Johnson!?

Elon's Sanity Hanging By a Threads
July 11, 2023 21:30 - 49 minutes - 50.6 MBBart and Norma discuss too many stories somehow related to assault...weird that's in the news?

BYE BYE TUCKER
April 25, 2023 21:30 - 31 minutes - 31.6 MBBart and Norma review feedback and wrap up a relatively slow week with a relatively short episode. But we do discuss a meat-grilling robot alpaca, and there's a last minute breaking news tidbit that brings great joy to North America...TUCKER CARLSON IS OUT!
