Weekly Skews

Tonight: sure, Donald Trump may be an aging megalomaniac who openly threatens to unravel democracy and throw our allies to the Russian wolves, but have you considered that Joe Biden is, like, super old? That discussion plus more, so join us.  Support the show

Well you’ll never believe this Skewers, but things down at the southern border have only gotten MORE dumb and weird in the intervening week since last we met. Tonight we talk about it, along with some Trump Crime updates, porn bans, hailing Satan, and more. Join us. Support the show

Well, Skewers, things are getting pretty wild (and secession-y) down there around the southern border as the conversation around immigration policy continues to escalate. We’ll talk about that, the true dangers of a Taylor Swift Super Bowl, White House drug parties, and more, on tonight’s Skews. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight we talk (and laugh) about the long overdue end to perhaps the most disastrous and disappointing presidential campaign in living memory: that of Florida Governor and noted spaghetti person Ron DeSantis. Along the way we get into Trump’s increasingly poor mental state, some truly absurd laws coming out of Oklahoma, and more. Join us.  Support the show

Skewers, join us as we dive into the recent kerfuffle with Boeing and their apparently rickety planes, which, if ya didn’t know, are rickety due to wokeness (at least according to Fox News). We talk about what really is to blame (spoiler: it’s capitalism again), along with the Iowa caucus results and a whole buncha other dumb stuff, on tonight’s show.  Support the show

Skewers you may have noticed that stories involving threats of political violence have been trending upward recently, and 2024 is only nine days old. So that’s…less than comforting. Tonight we discuss this and a great many other topics. Join us.  Support the show

In celebration of the New Year, we are posting a FREE bonus episode from the Weekly Skews Patreon. We talk about Elon’s beloved Cybertruck, which very well may be both the ugliest AND most deadly consumer vehicle on the road. Fun! Along the way we touch on the Epstein list and cover some other dumbassery. If you would like more of this type of subscriber-only content, you can sign up for our Patre...

Well it’s 2024, Skewers, and things are as dumb as ever. Tonight, Travis Irvine fills in for Smart Mark as we break down some of the dumber things happening in America at present, including but not limited to: Trump’s butt smell, NYC’s lunatic mayor, Green Day’s commie agenda, an insane St. Louis cop story, and more. Join us.  Support the show

 Skewers tonight Smart Mark returns for the most festive of Christmas week conversation topics: the Dark Lord Satan! Obviously we’re aware that Satan is not real, but the Satanic Temple is (and they rock), and they’ve been making some serious waves lately. Also, the big Trump ruling in Colorado and a Texas Lunacy Recap. Join us.  Support the show

Smart Mark is covered up with work stuff this week and as such we welcome back Corey Ryan Forrester to guest host in his stead. Corey and Trae will get into the latest ravings from conservatives on the evils of…Scholastic Book Fairs? Also a number of salacious stories involving GOP politicians, and a smattering of dumbassery. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight we do a rapid fire breakdown of the most current goings-on in the American political sphere before settling in for a veritable dissertation from Smart Mark on the all-too-long life and nigh-incomprehensible crimes of Henry Kissinger. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight we discuss the growing trend of school voucher programs in red states, including (of course) Trae’s home state of Tennessee, which is set to expand their already controversial program tremendously. The problem with this is that voucher programs are dumb and bad. Also we got some top shelf dumbassery for yuns. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight Trae returns, as he and Mark celebrate the forthcoming holiday with a bounty of dumbassery including Elon’s sword, Santos’s weiner, Argentina’s new lunatic President, and many many more. Enjoy.  Support the show

It was a rootin’ tootin’ day at congress with at least two instances of almost fisticuffs. To whatever extent it was hidden Trump went full on mask-off fascist over the weekend. Also should the government allow for-profit A.I. revenge porn? Silicon Valley says yes. Mark’s hosting and Corey’s hopping on last minute because Trae is in 1883 with no wifi. Join us! Support the show

Tonight we are once again joined by certified politics enthusiast and Ohio boy Travis Irvine to track not just the outcome of his homeland’s vote on abortion rights, but all the myriad important elections going down around the country today. Join us.  Support the show

Happy Halloween, Skewers! Tonight we look ahead at the already-ridiculous election cycle looming in 2024. Trick or treat, bayba. Support the show

Tonight Smart Mark returns and, after a check-in on the continuing idiocy that is the House GOP’s search for a Speaker, as well as some other fun tidbits, we then take a look at the few elections happening this November, e.g. the KY gubernatorial race, the Ohio abortion measure, etc., and how the outcomes thereof could shape the larger elections in 2024.  Support the show

Tonight Trae is joined by first time guest host Travis Irvine (Smart Mark will return next week) to discuss the ongoing laughable incompetence of the House GOP as it continues to flail in its attempts to name a new Speaker. Among other things. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight we tackle the simple and straightforward task of breaking down the current situation with Israel and Palestine. Surely the two of us shall have it solved in under an hour. Also we bash RFK Jr. for a bit, among other things. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight we talk about Kevin McCarthy being ripped apart by the monster he helped to create (shocked Pikachu face!), as well as Trump's quarter billion dollar fraud case, and more. Join us.  Support the show

Tonight: Turns out Democrats do crime too! Namely New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who it turns out is super into taking bribes and the like. On this episode (in addition to covering a myriad of other topics) we take the firm stance that crimes are bad, regardless of party affiliation. Please applaud. And also join us Support the show

With a proxy war in Ukraine, a cold war in China, a covid spike, a jump in childhood poverty, and 12 days until a government shutdown… what’s everyone in Congress up to? Well, giving public hand jobs and freaking out about Fetterman’s shorts, for starters. Also: the UAW strike and a Texas impeachment update. Join us.  Support the show

The GOP in the House and in the state of Wisconsin have impeachment in mind, for Joe Biden and Janet Protasiewicz (state Supreme Court), respectively. That neither has done anything remotely impeachable is, of course, immaterial. Join us. Support the show

Happy belated Labor Day, y’all, and on tonight’s Skews we’re keeping with the spirit of the holiday as we discuss the ongoing Summer of the Strike, namely a forthcoming action from United Auto Workers as they prepare to take it to Detroit’s Big 3. Join us.  Support the show

Last week we focused on the rampant lunacy gripping Texas, so this week it's only fair that we turn our attention to their fiercest competitor in the Craziest State contest: Florida. Along the way: Trump's mugshot/trial date, and more. Join us Support the show
