Greg, Brian, and Colin regretfully pass on publishing a recent "piece" by Ari Hoffman in the city's elite subterranean paper, Mechanical Freak, and an extremely reasonable member of WE Demand SAFE Shopping (this is not a joke) tells Safe Seattle harrowing tales of rampant "robbery" (shoplifting) at their local Safeway, where we learn no cut of meat is safe from pillage and no employee willing to d...

Greg, Brian, and Colin discuss burger failson Saul Spady's inability to procure the usual salmon breakfast at his favorite Capitol Hill restaurant on account of having bad politics, a much needed showcase on dangerous rhetoric w/r/t the unhoused featuring the turgid documentary "Seattle is Dying" from Citations Needed, the ease and simplicity of going back to school on public transit, a broken con...

Greg, Brian, and Colin are joined by co-chair of the Seattle Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Captain Maddie, to contemplate the existence of law when drinking The Claw, Elizabeth Warren's kowtow to our "progressive" mayor, the recent rescinding of funding from FEMA for helping the unhoused in King County, and a mistrial after a jury breaks on "political lines" in the cases related to the M...

(Former Captain) Greg, (Captain) Brian, and Colin are joined by once (and future?) Razr owners Mary Anne and Chuy to first mutiny, and then to talk all things Texas: from the possibly polluted groundwaters of tank possessing Lubbock, to our favorite political phenomenon Beto, to shady political dealings and run ins with Agents of Alcohol in San Antonio, and a shocking trip to Dallas (or close enou...

Greg, Brian, and Colin talk about customer delight and mechanized spider robots in Amazon fulfillment centers, terrible jobs at call centers and on set, and the latest howl from heckin' werepupper, Jason Rantz, about Sawant's singular responsibility and failure to keep Capitol Hill's Williams Place park "clean" (of the unhoused).

Greg, Brian, and Colin discuss the transfer of the public to the private with the announcement of the sale of the Mercer Mega Block, and an unduly credulous article in the Seattle Times about the city's war of terror against "vehicle ranching," the "vehicle ranchers" that run them, and the people living inside those vehicles.

Greg, Brian, and Colin witness the shotgun wedding of ED-209 and Jenny, Your Digital Mayor, before digging into the prospect of fare enforcement on street cars (for safety, of course), and the Platty Wagon rolls in to deliver more heartwarming cop content about fearful teachers, horned up School Resource Officers, and dead eyed child soldiers.

Greg, Brian, and Colin begin with groundbreaking and unique movie analysis before moving onto the latest braying from David Horsey in the Seattle Times, Mayor Jenny Durkan's unexpected but chiefly centrist endorsement in the District 2 race ahead of the August 6th primary (which predictably exploded in her face), the progressive image versus the conservative reality of Seattle, and a Platty Wagon...

Greg, Brian, and Colin are visited by a spirit before talking about the latest developments in the Sugary Beverage Tax (or more accurately how the money will be used), the uniquely incredible strides toward reform that the Seattle Police Department (SPD) have made, and a bone-chilling opinion in the Seattle Times from erstwhile mayor, Tim Burgess.
