Episode 552: KISS, Canned Pumpkin, and Hunter Biden

This week, the Idiots open with one of their own. 

nathan found himself in the crosshairs of stupid people on TikTok. The easily manipulated Snowflake Army came out in force after two influencers with more attitude than intelligence believed a joke was reality, and complained about it to their followers.

Next up: KISS is no longer touring.

Kind of.

I mean, digital holograms might tour as KISS in the future, or perform one off shows, but does anyone really want to see that? Maybe as a cheap Vegas attraction, but not in an arena.

After that, Mackenzie Phillips and trigger warnings. 

nathan read Mackenzie’s memoir, and it is a doozy. But that’s not what they’re talking about, here.
No.

This is about the worst trigger warning ever given, one that comes after the headline full of triggering words.

Well done, news media!

Then, it’s a play on Eminem… Guess who’s back? Back again. Hunter’s back. Hunter Biden.

He’s been indicted on 9 tax charges, and although Jake and nathan believe he’s probably guilty, instead of discussing that, they veer down the path of Jake’s drug use, death, and other fun things from his past.

Moving on: it’s a tale as old as time, man meets call girl, takes her to his hotel room, and she robs him.

But what do you tell the police? That you needed a lady of the evening? Nah, you thought you were making a friend.

To quote Jon Lovitz, “Yeah… that’s the ticket.”

(I also would’ve accepted Ghostbusters, “Thanks very much Ray, that oughta do it.”)

Finally, our hero is in the news again: Elon Musk, saying dumb things loud and proud, all the while running Twitter into the ground.

It’s hilarious.

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.

Tune in and get your giggle on.
