SEASON 1, EPISODE 5!
Sorry this episode arrived a little late! I was trying to be a human and threw a huge Pizza Party Potluck with my new pizza oven! More on that later this week!
This is a shorter PREVIEW. You can also head to any podcast platform to listen to the FREE VERSION. But I will always save the FULL, extended cut only for Paid Subscribers here on Substack. Consider being a (PAID) subscriber! And join a like-minded community who cares about the world who also love to HEE HEE HA HA.
IN THE FULL EPISODE FOR PAID SUBSCRIBERS: you will hear our thoughts on the Dump admin’s “IDEA” to run a reality TV show for immigrants to get fast-tracked citizenship (HUNGER GAMES!), the absolute sh*tshow that is the Dump admin’s budget bill that just passed by one vote in the House of Representatives and will now be voted on by the Senate (like it’s really really bad), and all about the protest speeches at graduations across the country.
It is Friday, MAY 23RD, 2025 and spring has sprung in Los Angeles. How am I this week? (IN A TERRIBLE BRITISH ACCENT) Like a fit Essex bird gettin’ absolutely wankered after she was slagged off in Love Island UK, I’ve been PISSED.
