The Manuel Fontes Show explores a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from breaking news and current affairs to the newest movies, compelling comic books, the excitement of sports, and the constantly changing world of video games. With new episodes posted every day, my objective is to both entertain you and give a useful, bite-sized update on the stories and headlines worth noticing. I’d love for you to come along for the ride and share in the conversation. I try to weave humor throughout the show and aim to provide thoughtful — if informal — commentary.

E-235: Bongino is back and it is not awesome 13.02.2026

Today on the show, Dan Bongino is back at his favorite microphone and chair, seemingly eager to prove he’s better than you. A gift card company has gone bankrupt, leaving Costco members high and dry. Gavin Newsom is pushing what might be his most questionable idea yet—taxing drivers by the mile. Meanwhile, San Francisco is struggling with two big problems: finding funding for BART and figuring out...

E-234: Pam Bondi goes to a hearing and the dumbest post of the year!!!! 12.02.2026

Ro Khanna is literally jumping on James Vander Beek’s corpse to sell his healthcare agenda, Brian Shapiro is that clingy parasite you can’t shake no matter how hard you try, and Pam Bondi actually seemed to be having a good time at the Epstein hearing. JB Pritzker absolutely despises Donald Trump — I finally figured out the reason — and, to top it off, some idiot just posted the most boneheaded th...

E-233: Time for some Basketball talk and other stuff I didn't get to 08.02.2026

In every episode, I make a list of topics I plan to cover, but I either forget to mention them or never get around to it. This time, though, I’m finally getting to at least the most current things I’ve been forgetting. X Manuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / X SUBSTACK stretchgoose | Substack Hosted on Acast.

E-232: The Super Bowl, Pat McAfee, and the Hunter Hess problem 08.02.2026

On today’s show, it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I try to sell this garbage game to you. Talking head Pat McAfee shares his thoughts on how beautiful the city of San Francisco is, and patriotism is dead in America as Hunter Hess trashes America at the Olympics. Also, a dose of Steven Crowder. X Manuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / X SUBSTACK stretchgoose | Substack Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

E-231: Jubilee is dishonest 07.02.2026

In today’s episode, I break down an installment of the internet show Jubilee featuring former congressional candidate and TikTok debater Isaiah Martin.

E-229: New York has a problem 01.02.2026

On today’s episode of The Manuel Fontes Show, we learn that Mayor Mamdani is facing a budget crisis and has deployed chief savings officers to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Sounds like a DOGE move. Meanwhile, Draymond Green is once again playing the victim over racism, and Adam Mockler appears on CNN trying to crack jokes.

E-228: I can't stand social media and are white people really that bad at inventions 27.01.2026

Today on the show, I share countless examples of how and why social media is just for the degenerates of the world, and then I take a bit of a deep dive into whether or not Black people are the sole inventors and builders of the modern world.

E-227: Dave and Matt 23.01.2026

Today on the show, Matt Walsh declares that technology is not a tool, period. After listening to hours of Dave Smith, I tried to be fair and neutral, but his mouth just wouldn’t let me, and I snapped.

E-226: Gaslighting MLK 20.01.2026

Today on the show, we explore what the FACE Act is and explain it to the Minnesota Attorney General, we then listen to Brian Shapiro spread falsehoods, discuss the state of Virginia’s troubling actions, and wrap up with what we see as the ultimate gaslighting and historical revision from Dr. Bernice King.

E-225: Fake Laptop and China doesn't have a billion people 15.01.2026

Today on the show, Hunter Biden claims the laptop doesn’t exist, and a Chinese dissident says China’s population isn’t a billion. Robert Reich shares what some see as a dishonest take on billionaires, and James Fishback, running for Florida governor, proposes a 50% sin tax on OnlyFans creators. All that and more on the show.

E-224: Gaslighting and fake stats 14.01.2026

Today on the show, we cover Rich Paul of Klutch Sports allegedly gaslighting the public over the De’Aaron Fox situation, Mehdi Hassan attempting to excuse Somali fraud, a Canadian podcaster claiming America covets Canada, and a deep dive into the fake stats circulating in the new media space now that people are finally starting to take notice. RUMBLE Stretchgoose X Manuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) /...

E-223: Movies and Lawsuits 12.01.2026

Live-action films are getting out of hand as Tangled gets the green light to drain our souls, and Salt-N-Pepa's lawsuit was tossed by a judge.

E-220: Andrew Tate has a credibility problem 03.01.2026

Andrew Tate has spent the past few weeks trying to repair his image and reputation, but no one seems to be buying into it anymore, and he’s starting to feel the pressure. Meanwhile, the youth are accused of draining America’s resources with extreme laziness, and the mayor of San Francisco has signed a bill promising $5 million in reparations, despite the city being too broke to afford it. RUMBLE S...

E-219: It's 2026 Say what you mean! 01.01.2026

It’s a new year, and time to ramp up production. A doctor named Umar talks about Shaduer Sanders, making it all about race. The UN supposedly wants to isolate the USA, which just sounds ridiculous. Then there’s Lionel Nation, a show hosted by someone who comes across as a coward.

E-218: It's the end of the year 17.12.2025

E-217: Bondi Beach Shooting 15.12.2025

Two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, Australia, leaving several dead. California is so strapped for cash that crime is running rampant across the state. Gavin Newsom admits to providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants, Katie Porter explains why the budget is a mess, and Ryan Clark spreads more racism. Oh, and Kim Iversen should reconsider suing Tim Pool. RUMBLE St...

E-216: The most disgusting story from Stillwater 11.12.2025

One of the most disturbing stories to hit the news in a while is about Jesse Butler, a teenager who raped and beat two teenage girls, yet walked out of the courtroom a free man. Meanwhile, a Muslim woman named Amani has claimed that Muslims built America, a statement I disagree with. Tim Pool says his security team costs more than his studio, and that it’s time for a change. It makes me wonder—who...

E-215: Another day with Gavin Newsom 07.12.2025

Gavin attends the New York Times DealBook Summit, spending his time campaigning. He then heads to the White House to request billions in fire aid but forgets to waive building fees. Following that, he spends $450 million on a 911 system that doesn’t work. Meanwhile, Trump withholds SNAP from blue states, and another congresswoman insists the federal government should follow her commands. Eric Swal...

E-214: So many silly laws being passed and the Epstein files are being released 20.11.2025

Today we learned about the Crown Law in Pennsylvania and the head tax in Chicago. Gavin promised to build 150 temporary houses by the summer of 2026, and we believe him this time, lol. Donald Trump also approved the release of the Epstein files.

E-213: Oh, those pesky Epstein emails 16.11.2025

Thousands of emails have been released, but what do they actually reveal? Most mention Trump and other high-profile figures, yet don’t directly implicate them in any crimes. Jasmine Crockett keeps calling Trump a pedophile, while Dan Goldman suddenly seems concerned about a “cover-up.” Then Texas Republican Lance Gooden asks them both a straightforward question about the files, and they end up ste...
