TMA (2-5-26) Hour 1 - Prop Comedy Is So En Vogue Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-21:19) Do we talk Blues or do we talk the wagon in a bucket that is the Illini? Doug's going Blues. Another late game goal given up and 10 straight road losses? Martin was complaining about the brightness and Jackson threw glasses at him. A lunar conception. Some people like things, and some people don't like anything. Listening to this show in the shower. Jackson would rather watch an NBA All Star game than the Miracle On Ice.

(21:27-55:08) Firestarter. Doug doesn't like music grooming or loud music on the golf course. Penn State's Gavin McKenna got himself in a little trouble getting a scrap. Felony aggravated assault. Allegedly McKenna was defending his mother from verbal harassment. Where's the swinging convention? Dan Janson is on the phone lines. Dan says he has an unpopular theory on the Cards' org. Dan seems to be reading from some prepared notes. Dan says Jackson's a fair weather fan. Dan's running out of steam. Softcore sports. The text inbox is 7 minutes behind after Dan's call.

(55:18-1:05:45) Brody Hermann is in studio and he needs to pick up the energy a little bit. Breaking down the Brendan Donovan trade. Brody's Super Bowl preview. Billikens gonna pour it on like pouring syrup on pancakes.

Was Helen Keller A Fraud? | Stupiracy Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

There’s a brand new season of Stupiracy — the podcast where stupidity and conspiracy meet. In Season 2, Episode 1, Riz and Tim go deep on one of the wildest internet theories trending on TikTok and YouTube: Was Helen Keller a fraud?

Helen Keller — the deaf-blind author, activist, and historical icon who wrote 14 books, met 12 U.S. presidents, graduated from Radcliffe College, and became a global symbol of perseverance — is now the target of a bizarre conspiracy claiming her life story was fake and that her achievements were impossible. From questions about her writing and handwriting to viral claims that she wasn’t even real, this episode unpacks the origins and spread of the theory, why it’s gaining traction online, and what the historical record really shows about Keller’s life and legacy.

Is Doug's body beach ready? Chairman's mock up didn't do Jackson any favors. Anybody run into Jane Under The Deck. Perfect Strangers.

(26:25-30:23) The response to the AI generated pic has been.....good. Jackson looks like he could be Doug's son. Women wanted to be like him, and guys wanted to be with him. Something that might make Doug feel good.
