654 - Tossin’ the Pigskin feat. The Trillbillies (8/15/22)
🕑 Added 2022-08-16 02:23:58 +0000 UTCWe discuss the equal parts terrifying and stupid possibility that Trump or an associate actually tried to sell nuclear secrets to the Saudis, and all the insane ramifications for domestic and world politics. Then, we’re joined by Tom and Tarence of the Trillbillies to talk about the recent catastrophic flooding in Kentucky, and how the years of government neglect and industrial mining in the region have exacerbated the disaster. Also, prayers up for our boy Salman Rushdie.

Personally I think it’s good when trump gets humiliated or faces any consequences at all

Just double checked. Yep, a Perry County native according to the AP. I hear the banjos and cries of "Git 'em boys!!!"

That Cincinnati shooter graduated from my high school in Perry County Pennsylvania from what I heard. As a native, I see why he was drawn to the cornfield.

A gentleman farmer in the foothills of the Catskills or Green Mountains of Vermont would do him good. Coincidentally the exact thing I’m looking for. Time to go for a walk.

Felix referencing Space Invaders, a game I actually know about, was the moment I knew Chapo cared for me.

All this rain everywhere and yet…

Sad to be reminded at times that Will comes from NYT influences and general hoighty toitiness that is the Manhattan lifestyle. Doubly surprised that he’s the one who says nuke-you-ler instead of new-clear. Then calling for Donny’s execution by the deep state like some gosh darned Russiagate Neolib. I know I’m psycho but come on, Will! This man needs to leave New York for a minimum 5 year sentence.
