241 - Boss Baby Airlines

Kamala turns hard right in the debate. Jill Stein goes on The Breakfast Club. A man self immolates outside the Israeli Consulate in Boston. Laura Loomer is too racist for MAGA. The boss of the county sets his sights on Albany International. And solar power is surging!

240 - Don’t Call It A Ceasefire

Trans panic grips the debate around the ERA in New York. Hunter Biden pleads guilty on tax crimes. Troy is taking steps to deal with its lead pipes. An American was killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank. And goats are chowing down on an invasive grass species in Ontario.

239 - Mental Plasticity

There's plastic in our brains. The DNC is led by a terrifying joyful warrior. Cops in Iowa shoot a family dog in front of a child. Tourism is going haywire around the world. Charging for plastic bags may be having a positive effect on UK beaches.

238 - Drop The Raygun

Bodies in spaces at the Olympics. RFK JR and DJT are both having a tough time. Ilhan Omar wins in a landslide. Israel pulls an ole uno reverse on the human shields question. Polio returns to Gaza. Tigers stay winning in Thailand.

237 - Inhuman Shields

Many in the UK support anti-immigrant riots. Irish fugitives arrested in Upstate. Mr. Beast is driving competitors to the brink. Chris Churchill wants to build, baby, build. More news from Israel’s slaughterhouse. And UK pensions are divesting from Israel.

236 - Bearly Legal

Police kill a woman armed with a pot of hot water. DEI is ruining the NYS police. Residents protest the closure of a detention center. RFK JR killed a bear. A Trojan thinks it's time for a new flag. And a baby bird is saved by a warmed tortilla.

234 - We Recorded This Two Hours Before Biden Dropped Out Of The Race

Blissfully unaware that Biden was moments from hanging up his hat, we talked about the Bob Menendez corruption case, Kamala’s rough phone call with donors, Aaron Sorkin’s nifty idea for dems, and stem cell therapy curing HIV.

233 - Big Guys

Donald Trump was almost assassinated. Israel is using missiles filled with shrapnel. The DOE is suing schools where students engage in pro-Palestine dissent. Proof of Israel’s use of the Hannibal Directive has been revealed. A Troy cop has been fired because his license was revoked. Shenanigans with the Troy planning board are afoot. And the Iberian Lynx is back from the brink!

 

Cop Fired for not being able to drive anymore:

232 - Single Dad Summer

Biden’s debate performance didn’t instill confidence. An algorithm is raising your rent and destroying your neighborhood. The Troy comptroller has resigned after some shady budget details. A police officer punched a man with MS. And an oceanic fungus is able to break down plastic.
