029- Why are Republicans Obsessed With Controlling Your Life? From THC to Trans Rights

This week’s episode dives deep into the wildest, most controversial new laws and bills coming out of Texas—covering everything from the shocking Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care for trans people (including adults!) to the state’s relentless attack on legal THC, abortion pills, and even your local school library. We break down the real-life impact of these policies on marginalized communities, especially low-income and trans folks, and explore the broader trend of Republican lawmakers using culture war issues to distract from economic policies that hurt the working class.
But it’s not all doom and gloom! The crew gets candid about their own ADHD-fueled social media habits, the weirdest animal content on their feeds, and the joys and chaos of pet ownership (including “puppies for puppies” and OnlyFans-funded dog rescues). Plus, we debate the logic of lowering the handgun age to 18, the myth of the “welfare queen,” and how America’s healthcare system is creating a modern peasant class.
Expect plenty of spicy takes, cheeky banter, and moments that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even rage-quit Texas. Whether you’re here for the political breakdown, the animal memes, or the ADHD solidarity, you’ll find something to love in this jam-packed episode.

028- Biden's Cancer (Prostate) & America's Cancer (Trump)

This episode is a wild ride through the week’s most jaw-dropping stories, blending biting humor, sharp analysis, and unfiltered honesty. Hosts Jimmy Snow and Alyssa Loop dive headfirst into the latest political chaos: Biden’s cancer diagnosis and the strange, muted reactions from all sides; Trump’s questionable jet “gift” from Qatar and the billion-dollar security nightmare it presents; and the horrifying reality that a notorious racist is raking in nearly a million dollars on GiveSendGo, exposing the dark underbelly of online crowdfunding.
But that’s just the beginning. The hosts dissect the real meaning of cancel culture, explore the hypocrisy of internet outrage, and vent about how actual accountability is so rare in the digital age. They don’t shy away from the personal, either—sharing stories about technical disasters, the struggle to keep creative work afloat, and the absurdities of sex etiquette and relationships.
Plus, there’s a hilarious detour into the world of mall pretzels, the secret lives of purple-lovers, and a no-holds-barred discussion about whether Gen Z is really more conservative than millennials. The episode wraps with an in-depth look at Bernie Sanders and AOC’s new anti-oligarchy movement, the desperate need for a real political alternative, and why the Democratic Party’s resistance sometimes feels like a high school skit.

But that’s not all-Jimmy reveals his $100,000 charity beard-shaving challenge and the existential dread that comes with exposing his chin to the world. Alyssa shares her own family’s Italian Catholic quirks, and together they roast Andrew Tate’s chinless machismo, Elon Musk’s latest billionaire blunders, and the general state of Gen Z (are they fascists now?).
