World's a Mess

GAIDEN #13-- In a vain attempt to wrap up the past two weeks, James waxes on about the Supreme Court's strikes against human rights, Boris Johnson finally resigning, the clout chasers that just overthrew the president of Sri Lanka, the absolute state of the TERF menace, and Shinzo Abe getting caught slacking (RIP).

GAIDEN #12-- After a self-imposed hiatus, James is back with a completely irrelevant episode! Today he talks about hamsters saving a man from death row, as well as the attack of the mutant hamsters, and, finally, Alan Cummings, Scotland's favorite bisexual, hunting down and making an ape criminal pay!

GAIDEN #11-- Today James avoids talking about the major news stories of the day in favor of getting in and out as fast as he can, like some sort of a tactical f*ck-up unit. It's a quick one, but we got plenty of garbage to go around. Today he talks about Russia's dumbest assassin, a Florida man's one-man-war on God, and two quick stories about absconded apes and a famous Japanese landmark. And that's it.

GAIDEN #10-- I think this was one of those weeks Lenin was talking about where decades happen. Not a great one. Anyways, on today's side story, James talks about Madison Cawthorn (part three in a series of three, we swear), then ignoring the Supreme Court's supreme f*ck up, he talks about Russian soldiers getting poisoned, a super dosed ubermensch that is going to virus jail, and a hero fox cut down in his prime.

GAIDEN #8-- James once more delves back into the depressing and ridiculous mythology of Madison Cawthorn. After that he gets into a Catholic anarchist anti-abortion activist (?) and her dead baby collection, the rise of Japan's do-nothing man, and what Azerbaijan is cooking up in the former-Armenia. All this and even dumber stuff on today's World's a Mess (which was recorded on, like April 29th, so don't DM me about not talking about some stuff. I KNOW). Support our show at Patreon.com/quality!

GAIDEN #8-- James returns to talk the return of the Mexican Pizza, Madison Cawthorn's brief and terrible brush with being cool, and Elon Musk's "purchase" of Twitter. After that he gets into the hijinks of John Cutey in Italy, a demon stone in Japan, Russia looking to outsource its war in Ukraine, a brief study on porno found in the woods, and God's skeeziest sea slug (no, not Elon).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOYOS! Today we forgo actual news or any attempt at "good" or "enjoyable" content to celebrate Alex's birthday! In this very NSFW episode, James plunges headfirst into a back issue of Penthouse Magazine because he thought it would be funny. Results vary. Support our show at Patreon.com/quality!

GAIDEN #6-- Eschewing the nightmare in Ukraine (mostly), James talks about his memories of mid-90s wrestlers, then gets into it about the false accusations against Hank the Tank, women that are narcs first and moms second, and then the life and death of Jersey's worst frog.

GAIDEN #5-- Once again James skims of the surface of the Russian/Ukranian conflict and completely misses the mark. Today's episode is all about stories, both real and made up about he current war. We're talking the sh*t talkers of Snake Island, Chernobyl's newest tourists, a vicious yacht attack, perogie ladies, and a dumb dead Chechen homophobe. Little something for everybody.
