Episode 263 - The Madness of Francisco Macías Nguema

Will, Felix and Amber pick up a few stories we missed last week, including Tim Scott girlfriend reveal (and campaign end), and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s father/son porn monitoring. We then look at a litany of increasingly absurd bungles and PR disasters from the Israeli government, all from just the last week.

The Cartoonish Depravity of the Israeli Hasbara Machine Part 2 of 2

2024 is off to a great start.  New Epstein documents drop, Mike Flynn tweets that #PizzagateIsReal, and kraft retailer Etsy is being accused of selling ‘bespoke children’ on their marketplace.  It’s a throwback QAA-style ep where Julian, Jake, and Travis begin to unravel at the realization that they’re about to relive 2016 for the seventh year in a row.  Is Etsy really engaged in human trafficking?  Is Pizzagate actually real?  Are there still unanswered questions about the Epstein scandal?  No, no, and yes.

UNLOCKED - #539 - Studio Sucky, Part 8: Comedy Will Save Us (w/ Will Menaker)

In a 4-quadrant Chapo, we make broad generalizations about various regions of America and their respective snack foods, make fun of a pundit's bizarre and inept behavior online, gawk at MAGA-realm apocalyptic stupidity, and finally examine liberal vacuousness from a new writer earning their first-time Reading Series Author challenge coin.
