The dark mistress of journalism pirouettes into our digital studio to discuss her newest story on everyone's favorite liar. We also discuss the discourse and complete the Ableism/Problematic region of the worst posts of 2022 bracket.
This one's got it all. I promise your grandma will call you instead of complaining that you never call her after you download this. This episode is a gift from Krampus and he's usually pretty stingy. All claims made in podcast descriptions are provably false. I am your real father.

Caleb wanted to call this episode "Milk Crimes" and that bodes well for his title naming talents, but Phase 2 is here now and you need to be made aware.
Phase Two of Western Kabuki is here. We say goodbye to Nicolas Cage (for now) and hello to our new co-host, Pulitzer prize winning NYT columnist Juniper.
We then tease Bird's upcoming interview with the infamous Cybersmith, discuss the politics of Star Wars, Nazi-furs, Andrew Tate’s influence on schools, and more.
We have a mailbag: leave us a voicemail or text us at (971) 374-2265.
