S6 Ep6: Weekly Skews – A Most Violent Year (It’s Been Three Weeks)

Unfortunately, we had very little time to discuss the latest rapper to try to become a LinkedIn Mar-a-Lago guy because of the weekend’s events in Minneapolis. It seems perhaps we’ve reached the limits of lying about: things we can all see, the sequence of events in linear time, and the plain meaning of third-grade vocabulary words. Also, the people who defrauded Kyle Rittenhouse’s GoFundMes think guns are bad now. Confusing times.This episode is sponsored by Ridge Wallet.

In this episode of Good Skews, Matt Hildreth sits down with comedians Drew Morgan and DJ Lewis to talk about what it means to help people when everything feels like it’s on fire, and why “mutual aid” is about showing up, plugging in, and supporting the helpers who are already doing the work.The conversation moves from ICE raids and neighbors doing laundry in solidarity, to local fights over land, water, and data centers, to the left’s tendency to over-academicize politics.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Former most-annoying-Senator Kyrsten Sinema faces a lawsuit for being an irresistible seductress. Then, as the federal siege of Minneapolis drags on it gets dumber, more dangerous, and did we say dumber? Everyone’s falling for AI videos, ICE agents have been told citizens count toward the quotas they can’t meet, and suburban dads are making homemade teargas countermeasures. Plus some interesting leaked documents reveal ICE is trying to infiltrate resistance organizations they made up.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to zbiotics.com/SKEW now.

 In the continuing fallout from last week’s ICE shooting, Feds are being terrorized by “organized gangs of wine moms.” ICE recruitment ads have made us aware of a new genre of music, Nazi folk ballads. Plus, more Dr. Phil cameos in the rising dystopia. Lots going on.

Happy New Year! We’re back, and talking about how you can’t run a pawn shop while investing in horny cowboys anymore, because of woke. Then, the U.S. finally pulls the trigger on Venezuela, after Maduro did TikTok dances and apparently that was the last straw. Trump screwed the opposition, announcing it was purely a war for oil. Plot twist: U.S. companies don’t want the oil, but no one asked them.

The FBI cracks a mostly imaginary terror case. Indiana Republicans bravely face death threats to do nothing. Trump finally signs his executive order banning AI regulation, so you’re free to buy Christmas toys that sell your kids on the brilliance of Chairman Mao. How will we power all these toys? We’re getting rid of Christmas trees, folks. All a part of a very sensible plan.Support the show

It seems what we all knew is true, Elon stole your information from the government and gave it to his robot girlfriend. The right wing internet is mad at a preacher for having read the Bible. ICE tries to hire a 500 lb. agent until his doctor says no. That’s true, and just one example of ICE’s hiring spree finding some truly exceptional candidates, which we have a lot of fun getting into.Support the show

The Shamwow Guy is running for Congress, where a Congressman with a twin brother is trying a “Parent Trap” kind of life swap. Then we get into everyone finally acknowledging Pete Hegseth is a war criminal, and Trump’s pardon of the cocaine cowboy former President of Honduras and the real extremely dumb reason he seems to have done it, which involves an already failing Bitcoin utopia.Support the show

Marjorie Taylor Green quits Congress like she works at Pizza Hut. The AI nerds are angling for a government bailout for a crash that hasn’t happened yet, so your Social Security can fund chatpots that give you recipes with rocks in them. Then we talk with Tennessee State Rep. Aftyn Behn about her run for Congress in next week’s special election, and what it’s like becoming a national target for attacks just because the race is closer than anyone thought it would be.Support the show
