S6 Ep35: Weekly Skews – A Very D.C. Death

There’s been a (diaper?) rash of people peeing and pooping themselves at concerts all summer, climaxing naturally at a Morgan Wallen show. Why is this happening? We have theories. Then, a hilarious pilot program to have sex-adjacent robots teach kids in a small district is on hold. Not for long, though, as the company and the government would very much like to take it national. There’s lots of fun perverts involved, plus a crypto scam.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

It’s a hot diarrhea summer, and Taco Bell has been framed! We will not stand for it. Then we break down Trump’s big speech from Thursday night which said very little even though some people heard a lot.Weekly Skews is brought to you by Fast Growing Trees.

Obtaining pardons for people is good business at present. Even better? Pretending to, because it’s less work. It’s a pretty funny case involving Boosie Badazz. Then, the life and death of Lindsey Graham, and the fallout from our gerontocracy and how an old man can’t even croak anymore without a boom in conspiracy theories.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

America celebrated 250! 250 what? A lot of people don’t know. A MAHA Mom might be getting the death penalty, but not for what you think. And then we get into the somewhat over-the-top reactions to the Supreme Court keeping citizenship the same as it’s always been, and reflections upon birthright after two-and-a-half centuries of rockin’ and rollin’.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

This week Mark is regrettably absent, and it just so happens to be America’s 250th birthday week. Coincidence? Yes, yes it is a coincidence. He’s fine and will return next week but in the meantime the one and only Cho joins Trae to opine on the state of things in this husk of an empire. Weekly Skews is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

 The Supreme Court has ruled that because Thomas Jefferson liked to party we can all get high and still have guns. The stupid Reflecting Pool saga has reached a late-stage Stalin level of Soviet farce, with show trials and a total war mobilization to destroy some algae. Then, Trump officials are now saying thoughts about Israel’s government that left-wing protesters got beaten half-to-death for expressing, so things must be going well in the Middle East.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

We recap a fun sports weekend in America, which included brawls on the White House lawn and beautiful game shenanigans. Then, we break down all the angles to the screwworm outbreak that will decimate ranchers and turn hamburger into a collectible item. Some greatest generation patriots had originally fixed this in the 60’s by being big fans of watching flies bone. Just another thing we have to get used to: Re-learning how to solve problems we already solved half a century ago.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

It would obviously take a conspiracy to make Spencer Pratt, a well-known failure, fail. We get to the bottom of it. Then, Congress has it’s own CIA? And they’re mostly watching your posts about data centers. Before all that we get to Pete Hegseth declaring Mormonism a cult, which has gone over great in Utah.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Nigeria has the rare political scandal that would make a fun Disney movie where a candidate turned out to be a literal child. An immature congressman? Can’t have that. Then, we get into the Texas campaign for the U.S. Senate and the tens of millions of dollars worth of mud about to be slung at James Talarico, which so far amounts to “It’s communist to eat meat veganly” and “He has a girlfriend, but queerly.” Trae has an actual job at an office for one week, so Mark is joined by Drew Morgan this week.

Good news, your fourth-grader is now free from the federal tyranny that barred them from mango-flavored vapes. We check in on a few primaries and discuss a gubernatorial’s winning gambit of ‘wearing tall socks,’ and an aspiring congresswoman in Texas who had way to much caffeine then talked about Israel. Then, we discuss our seemingly inevitable military action against Cuba for several pretexts we’re in the middle of making up.Weekly Skews is brought to you by Leesa.
