Are The Midterms Rigged?

Oh boy my little prepubescent Boy Scouts, we have another episode for you today and we’re taking a step back from the serious and the morbid. And bringing you something a little lighter with a splash of silly goose juice. In this week’s episode, Alec talks about the Gen-Z couples in the workforce today, and how those liberal-arts-degree-having boyfriends of yours are working less and the women are working more. Whether it be shame, pride for wanting a specific job, or a newfound laziness amongst men between the ages of 23-30, Alec takes the deep dive and shows you what’s really going on, and the medicine he wants to prescribe to fix it.

Hello again, it’s us, the man built like the tootsie roll owl and his almost silenced counterpart Emmett. Here to bring you another important news update about our Midterm Elections. It’s going to be the last election we have! Alec takes us through the nostalgia of what elections used to be in America, and what they are currently. To know the history helps us be prepared for the future. In today’s Bad Ideas episode, Alec will give you the history, showcase the present and provide the antidote for the future when it comes to the right wing trying to rig elections.

Attention all you spineless limp f*cks who have the moral backbone of an éclair. This episode is a serious one. One that dives into the systems of the patriarchy. And more so, the benefits that those systems showcase to the boys who stay silent. How silence is rewarded with power in the future. This silence leads to a perpetual lack of accountability amongst men and a lesson that is taught that says “do what you want and this behavior will go unchecked and unpunished.” But not with Alec and not with his guest for today’s episode Kelly Ryan. Join us as they discuss the horrors of how this system brutalizes women and individuals at large. And leads us to actionable steps we can take to prevent horrific events like the Cornell 7 (more like 57) from happening in the future. And to the men who continue to speak out and hold other men accountable we salute you. Continue speaking out and saying something. Alec and Emmett will always do the same.

Well well well look who we have here, Brad Bird called and he wants his Iron Giant Cosplay royalty check in the mail. I don’t know what any of that means, much like I don’t know much about today’s episode of Bad Ideas with Alec Flynn. In this episode Alec talks to us about The Power Grid and the inevitable ‘Power Grid Collapse.’ Aging infrastructure, no real emergency planning, and extremist groups could create the perfect storm that our systems are not ready to handle. However, Alec has found hope in the form of a very familiar Bostonian face. So grab a glass of fresh water while you can, start researching how to make potatoes from your own shit and enjoy this episode of Bad Ideas (minimal Italian-accents this time).

Hey hey you limp biscuits. Welcome back to Bad Ideas with Big Al and (Emmett). In today’s episode we showcase to you an epidemic, a silent epidemic, an epidemic that most just seem to not want to shed light on. I’m not talking about the next COVID or the peptides. I’m talking about the epidemic of the fellas not going out for a drink anymore. The lack of social battery that is plaguing our generation. The utter and slow trickle of diminishing memories made with the the group chat. It has to end now, otherwise we will turn into the worst types of people. Those squids from your hometown. Don’t let it become you and your friend group. Tune in this week to find out how Alec and Emmett can help you prevent this. I love you all. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey, pickup that shopping basket at a grocery store that's for the people. In this week's episode, we explore the rising trend of Luxury Grocery stores. We discuss the economics behind their rise, the social media influence of those promoting, and why you should not allow your local grocer to fall prey to these taupe colored venture capital backed fruits and vegetables. We even had another substitute teacher Luis Galilei stop by to share some hard knowledge.

Listen up you Crusaders! Private Equity is destroying everything we know and love. The vest wearing cucks have gotten their grubby hands on pretty much everything that our capitalistic society has to offer. But in most recent developments they’ve been working in the shadows. Hoping we wouldn’t notice. But Big Al noticed. And he’s pissed. And frankly, we all should be.. In today’s Bad Ideas episode featuring Noel Miller, we take a deep dive into how private equity has started to show interest and has created a monopoly in the one element of our society that was truly bi-partisan. Free from the shackles of Blackrock and Palantir and other companies run by liver-spotted hands of the elite cucklords. Mark Zuckerfuck to name a few. That one element we’re talking about is sports. But not just professional sports teams-- no, these scumbags are targeting YOUTH SPORTS specifically. And Alec wants to shed light on this before it gets out of hand. So get a pen and paper, take some notes, and grab a weapon (satire) because after seeing this episode, you may want to break something…or someone for that matter (satire again).

EUGENE, TACOMA, IRVINE, SAN DIEGO ALL COMING UP COME SEE ME LIVE https://punchup.live/alecflynn/tour We are so back people. No Kalshi or Polymarket ads here. No absolute embarrassment of a showing against Belgium here. No corporate sponsored reserved seating at the game here. No private equity company sucking the joy out of your beloved team here. No pop-up accept all cookies tabs and jerkmate ads here. Just two guys sitting down with some iced coffees in the sun, chilling with a grill they don’t use because Alec didn’t bring any food. We are sorry we took such a long break but we are back rejuvenated and ready to create and thrive for the rest of the summer. We wanted to go back to the basics. Back to why we love doing this podcast in the first= place--Alec aggressively monologuing at Emmett in the park under the intense sun. We wanted to give you a virtual hang this summer, you all are always welcome (especially Emmett’s discord kittens). If there is one thing the World Cup has shown the rest of the world it’s that sports bring people together. Well, we don’t have sports here but we do have some laughs and a grill that sometimes cooks food. Beggers can’t be choosers I guess.
