01:06:08||Season 3, Ep. 305This Veteran's Day, the country is at a perilous moment where civic engagement and an urgent need for reform are converging. What happens in the next few months will determine whether we can manage to fully escape, and appropriately react to, two years of corruption, injustices, and crimes. Standing in the way are two cocky men who have publicly stated their allegiance to a foreign government and who seem fully owned by corporate interests. With a loud majority calling for their replacements, this pod lays out the top reasons why Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer should step aside. Then, we learn about Veteran's groups actively protesting in D.C., Thomas Massie filing eight articles of impeachment against No-Tab Pete Hegseth, new rodent assignments in the white-power house, plus, a quick review of the MUSK documentary.Find and contact your representatives at house.gov, senate.gov, or via the "5 Calls" app.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

304. Roasting the Broligarchy: The Congressional Report Detailing Trump's Links to Epstein - Part 2
01:19:24||Season 3, Ep. 304TW: Witness statements detailing SA, child abuse, harassment, and sadistic treatment of women and children.This pod picks up with page 24 of the newly released, 53- page report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee entitled, "We Have Certain Things in Common Jeffrey: The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ's Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up". The report highlights key parts of detailed accounts from Epstein survivors Katie Johnson, Maria Farmer, and more who have long maintained that Trump was involved or present. Then, it lays out how the current DOJ and FBI dedicated their efforts to protect a collaborator of Epstein's, Trump, rather than pursue justice. Throughout, documented quotes, events, and relationships paint a picture of the cavalier and predatory ways in which these men operated, and how timelines and details match across myriad survivor statements. With a new wave of political representation, the focus is now on ensuring timely prosecutions.

303. Roasting the Broligarchy: Basking in the Blue Waves While Anticipating Narcissistic Collapse
01:06:14||Season 3, Ep. 303Who has two tiny thumbs and lost bigly? Whose "crime family" will now face thorough investigation for enriching themselves as the public they're meant to serve struggled to survive? What did a waterlogged, herpetic corpse say would happen if his network of pedo enablers lost power? This pod aims to answer those questions and more. The midterm elections resulted in a loud and powerful rebuke of the Trump regime. Citizens across the country turned up to vote and reset states and counties that had been stagnant for decades. Here, we recap those results, explain why some state elections haven't yet been called, and summarize what new leaders say will happen next. This moment of levity is a beautiful thing, a sanity check in a country that seemed to have gone mad. Seeing the vast majority of Americans reject cruelty, abuse, and corruption is the first step, the next is to hold our newly elected representatives accountable to produce results.

01:03:29||Season 3, Ep. 302TW: Witness statements detailing SA, child abuse, harassment, and sadistic treatment of women and children. Previously known as one of many 'Jane Doe' survivors, Dr. Larissa Portnoff, PhD, a clinical psychologist practicing in NYC, went public this week with her statement that Donald Trump abused her in her childhood and made efforts to maintain contact with her through 2025. In response to her request for people to share her story, this pod includes a recording of her statement in her own words. Then, we begin Part 1 of going through a newly released, 53-page report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee entitled, "We Have Certain Things in Common Jeffrey: The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ's Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up". The report walks through the history of Trump and Epstein from their 90's era of brazenly targeting girls and young women from modeling agencies and beauty pageants, to their similar coercion and outreach strategies, and 11 statements from Epstein survivors and others who remember the two men's predatory conversations and/or interactions. Part 2 will cover the remaining seven survivor stories that include Katie Johnson and Maria Farmer.

301. The Murder of Sandra Birchmore
01:34:43||Season 3, Ep. 301TW: This pod discusses detailed accounts of grooming, SA, violence, sadism, and allegations of self harm. The murder of Sandra Birchmore typically centers around her death in February 2021, but the path that led there begins with a childhood program, Explorers, run by the Stoughton Massachusetts police department. This pod goes back to that time, walking alongside that path from 12 years old on. In doing so, demonstrating the insidious and patient nature of a predator grooming a child that results in the victim's attachment, dedication, and persistent hope to please them. With her abuser and alleged killer, Matthew Farwell, currently on trial, understanding how he, and his network of dangerous men, obtained positions of power and control over children is also key. In the end, the real heroes of her story are the friends and family who refused to stay silent after her death, the agencies who listened, and what they revealed as a result.

01:22:55||Season 3, Ep. 300Episode five focuses on day three of Bronwyn's San Francisco trip that was meant to culminate in a fabulous disco party where new and old friends meet her model boyfriend and celebrate a new chapter of her life . Instead, Lisa and DJ Meredith decide to drop a diss track without context and get kicked out. In episode six, Mary hosts a lunch to heal their rifts and performs a miracle, getting Meredith to apologize.

Also, Britney takes event flowers and remains focused on Bronwyn's real estate narrative, Whitney makes up with Ashley Quai, Angie continues to struggle with her marriage but won't burden Mary with her troubles, and Heather keeps getting away with lowdown, dirty deeds.

How do the new mandatory investment accounts for kids work, what risks do they present, and why is the Annabelle doll there? What's going on with the reflecting pool and other D.C. landmarks? Why is Ken Paxton unfit for public office and arguably one of the worst people to ever run? Why is a tubby, pale poser with daddy issues dedicating more of his inflated wealth to meddling in America's midterms?

298. Recap: RHOSLC S7E4, Fortune and Misfortune, and The Golden Life Premier Party
01:00:29||Season 3, Ep. 298After a summary of what The Golden Life premier event in NYC was like, we jump back into a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Recap. The women are still kicking off their San Francisco trip by kicking Ashley Quai when she's down, disarmed by the betrayal of Whitney. Angie confides in Heather that her marriage is struggling and confides to cameras about how bad its been. Heather continues to try to make Triflin' Tripp happen, Brittany grills Bronwyn, and Meredith remains a master of scowling. A trip to a vibrator museum adds some extra spice to a dinner that we already knew was going to go badly, with Lisa's lipliner is the uncredited housewife of this episode. We end with the Whitney/Ashley Quai fall out going strong and without any San Francisco peace and love on the horizon.

297. Recap: Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 7 E1-3
01:33:31||Season 3, Ep. 297Catching up on Season 7 of what is arguably the most entertaining Real Housewives franchise on Bravo for a nice break between deep dives. In the premier, the ladies set their petty differences aside to support Mary in her time of loss and through her decision to remain a cast member alongside women she refers to as family. We also meet Heather's new-old cheater boyfriend and get up to speed on three women currently leaving their sub-par husbands, and one who almost did. Across the episodes, heartfelt moments and hilarity ensue as the group delves into their personal struggles while also bickering about ridiculous perceived offenses. By episode three, we have props, wigs (both costume and incognito), accusations, and tears. It's pure joy.
