Idiots On Parade, the Too Ugly for TV Podcast

The stock market is falling, the stock market is falling... unfortunately, this isn't Chicken Little nonsense, it's your retirement fund going bye-bye. The Idiots discuss the drop, as well as the coronavirus, lunging vegans, and racism at the Olive Garden.

Barrett Antar Goodwin joins Nathan for a conversation on the power of neutral thinking. Is it better than positive thinking? Why yes, it just may be.

On the eve of Super Tuesday, the Idiots discuss the state of the Democratic Party. From there, it's the pros of the Coronavirus, Baker Mayfield gets called a "slur," and Harvey Weinstein gets a split verdict.

Does your mind tend to drift to "worst case scenario" before it does positivity? Nathan's does, and this week he and Barrett discuss the possible reasons why, and what can be done to combat negative thinking. 

People say the media is biased left or right, but the Idiots think it's all sensationalized nonsense. This week, they discuss the silliness behind a state-to-state primary process, Prince Andrew's birthday, Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren getting sued by George Zimmerman, and Michael Bloomberg's prison phone calls.

The judgements we pass on others usually stems from inadequacies contained within ourselves. Musician Barrett Antar Goodwin sits in for a long-form conversation on  self-improvement through non-judgment.

Oh, to be William Barr... you're a stooge who pretends to be ethical. And fails. Dak Prescott wants all the money, and so does Tennessee. Only Dak wants it for playing football, Tennessee wants it from women who need feminine hygiene products. All this, and more in 35 short minutes.

It's 2020, which means voting should be easy, right? "Hold my beer" says Iowa.  This week, the Idiots discuss the many ways the Democratic Party of Iowa effed themselves with their inability to count votes.

So. Much. News.  The Idiots recorded as Nathan returned home from the Iowa Caucuses, the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Kobe Bryant met an incredibly tragic end, Trump's wall blew into Mexico... there's more to talk about in this episode than you can shake a stick at. Most importantly: Facebook stock lost $50 billion, which is something we can all celebrate!

Like the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts before them, the Amish are turning out to be sex crime perverts. What is about repressive societies that creates monsters? The Idiots examine that question, and then turn their eyes on Utah's new law outlawing gay conversion therapy... in minors.

Hollywood: why is it so racist? The Idiots challenge a claim by woke Twitter that every problem anyone has ever had can be explained by racism. Then, speaking of racism, Trump 2020. He's taking money from the military to build his wall. Will it get him re-elected?

Iran had a happy trigger finger and civilians died. Whose fault is it? Crazy folk think Trump, but not the Idiots. Also: a Twitter mob was denied an apology because Jillian Michaels refused to back down. Why did that tactic work? We tell you. All that, and a quick R.I.P. note to Neal Peart.

The U.S. blew up Qasem Soleimani, and everyone jumped into their political corner and started yelling at the other side. Wilmer Valderrama got engaged, and Demi Lovato fans got upset. Diet Dr. Pepper won't make you less fat, and one woman is upset. All this, and more, this week on the podcast. 

This week, the Idiots went all out. It's episode #350, and they went big. Tony Carr–founder and maintainer of the Chicago's Comedy Scene website/app/production company–chats for over over an hour. It's one of our longest podcasts, but also one of the best. New comics? Best tune in for this one... https://www.chicagoscomedyscene.com/

Nathan saw Star Wars, Jake saw Cats. Those movies are mocked, and from there they discuss the final football game in Oakland, the difference between books and movies (specifically Black Klansman), and the silly controversy over a commercial on the Hallmark Channel.

This week, the Idiots discuss news that was overshadowed by the impeachment. The Afghanistan Papers said we're in an unwinnable war, Michael Vick is getting hate from folks who don't watch football, and Antonio Brown didn't write that Tweet.

This week, the Idiots talk hair metal. It was supposed to be a passing glance at a joke about their contract to never tour again, but in reality turned out to be an entire podcast on rock n roll. Enjoy!

Why does the media attack Kid Rock for his flaws, while ignoring Hunter Biden for his? They're both dummies, right? That topic, plus a quick bit on healthcare in America.

This week, the Idiots discuss the world's biggest douche: Phillip Williams. He's a vegan with too much time on his hands, and he's suing Burger King. Also: Starbucks is losing customers, and Donald Trump sticks his nose into military politics.

This week, the Idiots discuss The Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix, the jail sentence, starring Roger Stone, and the impeachment, starting Donald Trump. Tune in and giggle.

This week, the idiots discuss Aaron Calvin's latest blog, "It's not my fault!" While this is somewhat true, a case could be made either way, and the idiots divide down the line on that." Also: Donald Trump's ego... he got booed by normal folk, so he flew into the safe arms of Alabama. 

This week, the Idiots discuss the musical relevance of certain bands, and then transition into Jack Dorsey and his decision to ban all political ads on Twitter.  From there, Germans are kicked off a cruise ship for having sex, and 60-year-old Peter Cook is engaged to 21-year-old Alba Jancou.

Obesity: it's what America exports. This week, the Idiots discuss sex offenders suing for their right to have fun on Halloween, Inside Bill's Brain, and the size of soda cans in Japan. 

Tolerance. Acceptance. They're good things, right? Not according to people who want to hate on Kellogg's latest cereal: All Together. It looks like a mess, and it probably tastes horrible. Also this week: Samuel Adams has a specialty beer banned by a handful of states, and Facebook refuses to remove a political advertisement that is blatantly false. Tune in for the giggles. 

The man behind Laughing in Disbelief, Andrew Hall, joins the idiots for a spirited discussion involving Ellen Degeneres having watched football with George Bush Jr.  Following that, they talk racism in football (Washington, looking at you) and Trump's border wall being scaled by an eight-year-old girl.
