#607 White Man’s Burden (1995) w/Aaron Thorpe (preview)

TODAY: AP Andy (https://twitter.com/baseprole (https://twitter.com/baseprole)) helps us investigate just what the heck is going on in conservative guys’s heads when they talk about music, first by reviewing shocking basement footage of Bill Maher in a Hawaiian shirt condemning punk music (except for Green Day) And then we catch up with the Daily Wire and their condemnation of both Metal and all Rock n Roll music made after 1958 Does “percussive” music arouse the baser instincts to an irresponsible degree? Does Punk make the blues look like a cross between McCartney and Beethoven? Will the metalhead community ever feel safe in this country?

The Civil War reviews are in! While the newsmedia argues about whether the left or the right liked the movie more, Daily Mail readers are airing their own grievances, namely that the Civil War is unfortunately not real and they don’t get to stack libs like firewood. Plus, a new sensation is sweeping the nation: Gay Tupac. Did Tupac reverse Buck-Break the black community into doing gang violence by posing as a Thug?

Strap in folks, it’s a Total Eclipse of the Thought as we dive into our favorite astronomical conspiracy theories surrounding today’s so-called “Solar Eclipse”: Why is NASA doing cool stuff and why does it sound like they’re writing a nasty doom metal album? Please ask God to stop screaming numbers into my ear I’m right here The real conspiracy is that there’s no conspiracy but they are going to steal your stuff when you look at the eclipse.

TODAY: We dive into Gen Z conservative’s attack on birth control and how they’re using the very real side effects of hormonal birth control to push an anti-contraception political project.   We look at the young right-wing women spearheading this push as they navigate (with frustration) the unfortunate optics of their party’s larger war on reproductive health.   Finally, we visit Evie Magazine, the right wing young women’s magazine serving as a Birth Control Injury blotter and informing women that they could be dating a lumber jack if they would only stop taking the pill.   ——————————————————————   Reproductive health and birth control information recommended in this episode:   Dr. Fran - http://pagingdrfran.com   Jennifer Gunter - Author of The Menopause Manifesto and The Vagina Bible   Kate Clancy - Author of PERIOD: The Real Storyy of Menstruation   https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/birth-control-cleanse   https://opill.com/?gad_source=1   https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/birth-control-pill   Maxo Kream- Bang The Bus

Today we take a hard look at the worst words in the conservative lexicon: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Is the conservative backlash to milquetoast corporate guidelines key to understanding modern right wing ideology?  We discuss DEI as the right’s current scapegoat for the failures of capitalism and observe their ineptness at obscuring the racism at the center of it.  Riding the anti-DEI wave we wash up on the right-wing “conditional hypotheticals” meme which holds that Elon Musk did not get owned by Don Lemon, and we see a televised half-time “spelling bee” that the Noticers are sure is rigged.
