While We Still Can

Arby's Roast Beef and the Felonious Footlong Flinger Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

Strap in for a rollercoaster of political absurdity as we use humor sharper than a gerrymandered district line to unpack America’s ongoing circus. From Billy Long’s blink-and-you-miss-it stint as IRS commissioner to Laura Loomer’s Arby's mishap, this episode skewers the instability of leadership and the drama-hungry media machine. We’ll even revisit the footlong sandwich incident that proves public safety can be derailed by carbs. Missouri’s gerrymandering disaster takes center stage, alongside grim discussions about shootings and political dysfunction, but don’t worry—we lighten the mood with a side of Gavin Newsom’s social media savviness and a sprinkle of food jokes about public figures. Because if democracy is going down in flames, we might as well roast marshmallows on it.

Think you’re in control? Cute. Anthony’s here to connect the dots the media hopes you’ll scroll past—surveillance culture, social media censorship, and the algorithm that decides if you’re allowed to speak. From Trump’s sketchy network (hi Zampoli!) to Epstein’s labyrinth of lies, this episode peels back the glossy headlines to reveal a system run by billionaires prepping for a future without you. We’re digging into COVID’s political power plays, gerrymandering gymnastics, National Guard deployments, and the slow creep of authoritarianism disguised as “leadership.” Spoiler: history already warned us, but no one listened.

Billionaires, Body Counts & Bad Legislation Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we wade into the swamp where politics, crime, and greed blend seamlessly. From Josh Hawley’s political maneuvers and whispers of insider trading in Congress to the dark, unfinished business of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, we explore the underbelly of power. Along the way, we examine why CEOs are in the crosshairs, how media narratives twist public perception, and why public outrage may be the only force left to hold the powerful accountable.

From Johnny Gosch to the Illuminati: Decoding America’s Political Plot Twists feat. Anthony Andrews Aug 12, 2025

FIND ANTHONY ON X @anthon7yandrews

In this episode, we pull back the velvet curtain on the messy mash-up of history, conspiracy, and power. From the secretive whispers in congressional back rooms to the social media megaphones blasting half-truths, we explore how misinformation shapes public perception, why our education system needs a reality check, and what the future of U.S. politics might look like when the masks come off. Expect a mix of hard facts, uncomfortable truths, and just enough intrigue to make you wonder if the Illuminati RSVP’d to your last Facebook invite.

ICE to Meet You and the Hypocrisy Olympics Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

This week, we dive into the hot mess of American politics where DACA recipients still get surprise ICE visits, Missouri lawmakers treat voter-approved laws like suggestions, and paid sick leave is somehow controversial. Sprinkle in a dash of conspiracy theories, a heaping scoop of political hypocrisy, and just enough national debt panic to keep you up at night. Civic engagement never sounded so exhausting.

Obamagate: Fanfiction for the Fox-Brained and more Gaslighting! Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

This week, we dive headfirst into the flaming dumpster that is American politics—with oven mitts, of course. Andrew Bailey is busy protecting corporations from the trauma of accountability, while actual Afghan allies get shown the door for having the audacity to believe U.S. promises mean anything. We take a scenic detour through Obamagate—aka "Fan Fiction for the Fox News Crowd"—and pause to reflect on the beautiful separation of church and state (RIP). Tina gets real with her congressman, and by "gets real," we mean “politely wrecks him with facts.” Ghislaine Maxwell makes a cameo in our ongoing segment, “Elite Crimes: Just Vibes, No Consequences.” And finally, Hunter Biden’s interview reminds us that, yes, everyone’s life is a mess—some of us just don’t have 24/7 surveillance and a last name that triggers boomers. Democracy may be on life support, but at least the commentary is killer.

Josh Hawley Saves America (from Poor People) Jul 27, 2025

Show notes

In this uplifting romp through late-stage democracy, Lisa and Tina dissect Josh Hawley’s brave crusade against poor people (via Medicaid), revisit the Epstein files that somehow never seem to reach the right courtroom, and marvel at how QAnon turned child trafficking into fan fiction. Along the way, they explore how private prisons are thriving off immigrant misery and how humanitarian aid was deemed too generous under the Trump doctrine. Spoiler: It’s all a mess — but at least we can laugh while the ship sinks.

Pride, Prison, and Paid Sick Days Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

From rainbow flags to red flags—Tina takes Josh to Pride while Missouri takes away your rights. Also, why is taxpayer money funding private prisons instead of PTO?

Erecting Freedom, One 80-Foot Pole at a Time Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

This week’s episode dives headfirst into the comforting topic of impending global catastrophe, starting with the G7 summit—a political cosplay convention where world leaders awkwardly pretend to get along while quietly edging us toward World War III. Back in the good ol’ U.S. of A., the National Guard is popping up in places that should probably be left to, you know, civilians, while lawmakers are dodging threats like it’s part of their job description (because apparently, it is now). ICE is still doing ICE things—terrorizing communities with the subtlety of a sledgehammer—and political “debate” sounds more like a group therapy session for angry boomers. Thankfully, we balance the chaos with sarcasm, jokes, and a strong sense of community forged through mutual disbelief. Tune in, stay woke-ish, and laugh so you don’t scream.

Welfare for Me, Bootstraps for Thee Jun 27, 2025

Show notes

Missouri’s out here rallying for democracy with the No Kings crowds while juggling youth violence, a loneliness epidemic, and more guns per capita than good decisions. The state takes in more federal money than it gives—making it a welfare queen in camo. Local crime rates rival big cities, yet politicians keep blaming "urban decay" from the safety of their subsidized offices. Meanwhile, marginalized groups are getting louder, the political right is eating itself alive, and even the skeptics are dusting off their protest signs. Turns out, hope (and sarcasm) might just be Missouri’s next big export.
