Ep. 168: Big May Day Energy

The Pentagon confirmed the existence of UFOs and there's one thing on everyone's mind: WE'RE GOING ON STRIKE. Not against aliens--if you get to that level of advancement, your society has probably become communist, the aliens are probably cool. We're striking against the ghouls and demons that run our hellworld, the Bezoses, the Waltons, the Musks, and the Trumps. We're going on strike this May Day, and as we do we should understand where "May Day" comes from and what lessons we can take from the original general strike, organized in 1885 and culminated in May of 1886 with the Haymarket Massacre. We also have several knock knock jokes that people may not find very funny. Have fun and maybe take a sick day today!
