The Manuel Fontes Show

I’ve finally done it again—lol—venturing back into the social media world with Rumble, X, and Substack.

Today on the show, we take a look at the state of the economy and ask, how bad is EBT really? Spoiler alert: it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. We’ll also dig a bit deeper into the ongoing Matt Walsh saga.

Over the past week or so, I've been listening to all these public spats and have come to the conclusion that it's all just theater. None of it feels real, and everyone is playing a character. Nick Fuentes is like a supervillain, while Ben Shapiro comes across as a kind of Professor X. Anyway, the shutdown is effectively over, and the Democratic Party has already started pointing fingers.

For weeks now, these two titans of the political landscape have been trading blows over what is essentially sheer nonsense. I make it a point to highlight that they are both just small fish in the vast ocean of life. X Manuel Fontes (@stretchgoose) / X SUBSTACK stretchgoose | Substack Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we discuss how language contributes to the dumbing down of society, and using an example from George Carlin is always a great choice. Gavin Newsom keeps making false claims about his record, and Dirty Soda gets a food review that is absolutely hilarious.

Well, the shutdown is now in day 24, or maybe 27—who can even keep track anymore? One thing's for sure, though, I know who's to blame, and their mascot is a donkey. Nowadays, everyone with even the slightest following on social media seems to have an opinion, and some guy named Malcolm is trying to convince you that the Republicans want you to starve. I'll prove to you all that he's completely wro...

It's another day in the news cycle that makes me question my political leanings. The president pardons George Santos after condemning the Biden administration for doing the same, then adds student debt to the pile after calling Joe Biden's loan forgiveness plan unconstitutional. Of course, we end up listening to a very disingenuous Steven Crowder. Go to Aspire Healthy Energy Drinks – Aspire Drinks...

The Democrats are continuing their PR tour across social media, TV, and podcasts, aiming to gain attention during the shutdown. Bernie Sanders and AOC are hosting a CNN town hall, JoJo from Jerz claims nothing was great under Trump, and Adam Mockler is pointing fingers at Republicans for the issues.

Today, it's all about the government shutdown, the childish behavior from the Democratic Party, and the idea that it's the Republicans' fault. I tried to address this topic without using foul language, but I just couldn't. We then spent a few minutes tackling another podcast called Financial Audit, where the host, Caleb Hammer, comes across as a self-entitled, spoiled brat, and his acting skills l...

With this rabbit hole I've decided to explore over the next 200 episodes, my plan is to respond to and call out others in this industry for the nonsense that comes out of their mouths. Today on the Kings Beat podcast, I endured poor camera quality, people walking out, and a whole lot of unrelated chatter instead of sports talk.

According to the Hollywood Reporter and Success.com , the podcast space is considered oversaturated. Naturally, many famous personalities, from Marc Maron to Theo Von, have agreed with this sentiment. After listening to a "new" podcast, I'm convinced this is the fault of those very same famous people. Articles: Are There Too Many Podcasts? | SUCCESS Podcasting's Biggest Challenges?

It's the 200th episode, so why not poke fun at some internet political commentators? Border czar Tom Homan takes a bribe, and a heated exchange on the House floor reveals just how much the Democrats really care about Epstein. And, of course, France does something ridiculous as usual.

Meanwhile, job numbers continue to plummet. ARTICLES: Winning tickets sold in two stat...

It’s a gloomy Monday morning as I reflect on the Chiefs’ loss and why it feels like this might be a tough year ahead. Disney has been caught data mining children and has paid a fine to the FTC. Meanwhile, activist investors are circling around PepsiCo headquarters like vultures, looking to bring significant changes to the company.
