Happy Holidays Y'all! The gang is back and in festive cheer! We discuss the recent debates, impeachment, spurious notions of terrorism, the state of the bill of rights and militarization of police, all while David gets cat-fished live. We talk about how Pete Buttigieg has a Wikipedia super fan that definitely isn't him, and for our wildflower, the gang escalates The War On Christmas with a discussion some mythological roots of Santa that stem from psychedelic arctic shaman, the fungi Amanita Muscaria, tripping reindeer, and drinking pee.

Apologies for the absence last week, we were evading the black helicopters that keep following us after we called for the abolition of the CIA. But now the gang's back with more hot takes and cool stories, bro. We get into the recent local scandal of Troy City Councilor and scumbag TJ Kennedy, who allegedly dosed a woman's drink! Then we get real mad about ICE setting up a fake college to fuck over, jail, and deport immigrant students. We discuss the MSM Bernie Blackout, how all mass media is propaganda, and this week we bring you two wildflowers - Lyme Disease vaccines and male contraception solutions are in the works!
TJ Kennedy sucks! (https://www.troyrecord.com/news/troy-city-councilman-kennedy-charged-with-assault/article_4e57d318-16b7-11ea-9f02-bf9bd9131f88.html)

Our wonderful opening was written by Sean Kelleher (Follow him on Twitter! @seandotexe) and performed by the one and only Brit. Then we celebrate the creation of our Patreon account by talking about what a more class conscious platform would look like. Then we try to understand the mind of a Buttigieg supporter (and are driven mad in the process). The debates were boring but Brit's crepe thief isn't! The team discusses Prince Andrew and conclude: If he can't sweat he wasn't wet! From plutocrats touching teens, we then turn to teens touched by plutocratic indoctrination: Teen Titans is trying to turn our children into slumlords! David has a new essay coming out at Commune magazine about Marx's double freedom (it isn't free) and to co-working industry (https://communemag.com/against-we/). For wildflowers: NO NOT THE BEES! I MEAN, YES THE BEES! As they sign off the gang begs for gig work.

It's Scorpio season, and the gang is back, albeit perhaps a bit hungover from a late night celebrating the birthdays of David and Chris. We get into the Bolivian crisis - a brutal military coup - the lithium mine interests, the manufacturing of a liberal legitimacy consensus through mainstream media and twitter bots, and the need to abolish the CIA for any hope of international socialist solidarity. We then talk about how the US Navy Seals are being warned not to report war crimes, the class division in the military, drone tech, and the effect of distance on the ability to do violence. Our wildflower is a vaccine that can render cats hypo-allergenic, and the delightful story of how Chris catnapped his kitty Marla armed with frozen taquitos and a laundry basket.

This week we roll our eyes as Warren freaks out at Amy Goodman, stan Bernie's calls to abolish ICE, check in on the (avowed, self-described) fascists in the military and discuss the finer points of right wing vs left wing prepper strategies. For wildflowers this week we earnestly love the story of the first successful penis and scrotum transplant

The gang is back, and we're talking that talk. We begin by commemorating Beto's bowing out from the presidential race with a reading of a piece by David wherein Beto takes mushrooms with his friend and exposes on the pleasure of becoming a bag of spiders. Then we laugh about how much of a goofy racist piece of shit Richard Spencer is, discuss how fusion voting and opportunity to ballot are making our local elections horrible, and whether ranked choice voting has a chance of helping the situation. We finish up with the heartwarming tale of how Peter Daou went from being a Lebanese child soldier, to Clinton acolyte, to the chairmen of a political revolution calling for a general strike.

We are #blessed with a #guest this week, Chris' lovely fiance Emily, as we tune in to some ghost hunters very compelling evidence of the paranormal. Your friends form Troy trade local spooky experiences and historical hauntings. Then we lament a mistreated goat at the hands of a slumlord, and talk about the importance of tenants' unions. We close out with ghost hunting and the creation of authenticity in David's new essay.
