The Dumbest Story of the Week

Episode 12 is chock full of dumb stories, just like the overstuffed week in the news! A Florida high school principal hosts a rager, while elsewhere in Florida a man eats so many meats and cheeses that cholesterol oozes from his pores (GROSS). I had a unique opportunity to tell the president that he is number one. The new White House Press Secretary straight-up lies about sending millions of dolla...

This episode goes to eleven! Snoop Dogg and Da Jewels rock the house at the Crypto Ball, whatever the hell that is. Biden and Trump run wild on pardons. The tariffs are coming, the tariffs are coming! Dubya wants to stop the world and get off. The FOP gets punked. TikTok is back from the dead and we still don't know if that's good or bad. The Band's final curtain call. Elon Musk is a Nazi. Or he i...

Hey. We've survived the fires and we consider ourselves lucky. We unpacked all our irreplaceable shit that has been sitting by the door for the last week. Thankfully, we have an army of online trolls to tell us what California is doing wrong about all these wildfires. Is Crowdfunding a blessing or a curse? Or both? Biden takes his bow and leaves a complicated legacy in his wake. (See what I did th...

It has been a rough week. Unprecedented events have rendered my hometown of Los Angeles into a smoky and still-burning hellscape. Multiple friends have lost everything, and for some reason a bunch of armchair critics in flyover states are suddenly experts in how to fight wildfires. Most people are safe in Southern California, but none of us are OK. If you'd like to donate, contact me and I will po...

Episode eight! Spoiler alert! Bigfoot isn't real. How the Spotify CEO Daniel Elk got lots and lots of money by screwing musicians. Intrigue and high drama at a chess tournament. Does Elon Musk have a Clark Kent-ish alter-ego? Trump gets the shaft in the form of a big fine. Dry January is for quitters. And a eulogy for a decent man. Thanks for listening!

This week I could talk about TikTok influencer idiots, one particularly challenging loser in the Federal budget battle, Donald Trump threatening to subsume Greenland and Canada, and the special holiday treat that is the MAGA civil war, but there is something far more important to discuss. Listen and find out!

Happy holidays from The Dumbest Story of the Week! What was dumb this week? Where do we begin? England runs out of Guinness. No, really. Donald Trump and Elon Musk shit their beds on funding the government. The fate of the Matt Gaetz House Ethics Report. Former footballer Herschel Walker will be the ambassador to where? America is more worried about the safety of our billionaires than our schoolch...

In episode V, which was the best of the Star Wars movies, we discuss a tragic mishap on an interstate outside of San Francisco, and the outrage over and Robin Hood-esque folk hero status of the alleged murderer of UnitedHeath Care CEO Brian Thompson. Is he The Punisher or a heartless killer? Remember the "Your body, my choice. Forever" doxing incident involving Nick Fuentes? Seems like o...

Where we go dumb, we go all! The South Korean president may lose his gig over a bizarre gambit with martial law, giving Trump some dumb ideas along the way. SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett doesn't like anyone who isn't straight. The brazen murder of a healthcare insurance company CEO prompts a moral conundrum for a country that has been hung out to dry by healthcare insurance companies. Canadian...

If you'll find yourself sharing a table with a MAGA enthusiast this Thanksgiving, here's your survival guide. Also, why I don't engage with online trolls and neither should you. And finally, Donald's latest shameless attempt to separate his fools from their money. Give thanks, everyone. We're still here.

Where we go dumb, we go all, right? Here in Episode 2, we talk about taking too much shit into the mountains. Also, Matt Gaetz steps down, but the damage is done. Marjorie Taylor Greene takes a crack at GOP self-sabotage - and it's all for naught. Is anyone surprised that Donald Trump is an abuser? The Fonz makes a funny, and X is bleeding into BlueSky at a million users a day. A couple truckloads...

The auspicious debut of The Dumbest Story of the Week podcast! There is no shortage of opinions, and these are mine. If yours are different, I cordially invite you to make your own podcast.

I’ve earned a living producin...
