Weekly Skews – 4/1/25 – First Let’s Cow All the Lawyers

Producer Matt here: We’re testing a new pilot episode for a project called “Good Skews,” a show exclusively for our audio podcast stream. With this offering, we’d conduct longer-form interviews with people making a difference. It's a show about good people doing good things. So if you like this episode, email us at [email protected] and tell us your thoughts.For this first episode of “Good Skews,” we talk with Nathan Evans Fox, an Americana-country singer and songwriter from rural North Carolina. We talked about growing up in a Conservative Christian household and how his family inspired the music he's making today.Support the show

Happy Skews Day. Companies say screw it and start reporting bribes as business expenses. The government is doing Abbottabad Raids on college kids who hang fliers.

Howdy. A.I. did what to John Cena now? Neil Gorsuch is mad at gay cartoon dogs. Chuck Schumer is mad at an imaginary past. Then we get into the Deep State’s effort to take down Pete Hegseth by tattling.Support the show

We talk about Mexican sex ghosts and the government’s plan to stop immigration with an AI apparently trained on Blaxploitation movies. Then, the government’s continuing cartoonish efforts to make one guy into a supervillain because then we can scrap the concept of rights. I mean who you gonna trust? A guy whose knuckle tats we photoshopped, or a cop who got fired for driving drunk into someone’s house?Support the show

We’re sorry, but you have to die in the gulag because the White House beat the Supreme Court at Boggle. Tariffs are so confusing that Gretchen Whitmer is playing peekaboo in the Oval Office. Then, we talk about RFK Jr.’s big plan for the measles outbreak in Texas. It’s one page titled: “Make it Worse.” Support the show

Today, Trump’s trying Super Brexit, apparently because he lost a piano auction to a Japanese guy in 1988 (not kiddin’). We’re talking tariffs that the White House can’t agree on why they’re doing them, apparently formulated by ChatGPT (really not kiddin’). And how we need to fix the trade deficit by making the people of Myanmar buy Cadillacs. It’s a lot, and of course there’s a nepo baby Soundcloud rapper involved. Join us.Support the show

Today we have an official attack on the civil rights of imaginary teen furries. There’s elections Tuesday, which means of course there’s a guy who’s pro sexy dances for autistic children, and Elon’s doing double corrupt fraud in Wisconsin. Plus, we discuss how law firms will make money after announcing laws aren’t real. (It’s by funneling bribes for a guy who sold engineless trucks.) Support the show

Today, Trump goes to war with his biggest adversaries yet: The Golden Girls. A popcorn warlord rich moron attempts a one-man mayoral coup in a small village in New York, proving once again America has an unlimited supply of Guys Like This.

Today, we’re talking about Canada’s yellowcake uranium, Wayne Gretzky becoming their Hanoi Jane, and how they found their freedom fries. Then, Tennessee Brando joins us to discuss how one Volunteer State congressman chilling in a Bible thumping treehouse connects to everything going on in politics: financial fraud, fundamentalism, pathetic sucking up, and a rich donor who made his wife watch sex tapes he made with other women.Support the show
