95 - AWOL

After a significant passage of time, we decided to come back and talk about it. In this episode, we discuss the hubbub surrounding the Olympic opening ceremony, the failed assassination attempt & Biden dropping out of the race. Enjoy!

Um…hey guys. We went out for smokes and the World stayed weird. So we came back to ramble about things we know little about.   If you’d like to hear a heavy spin on a country hit, check out Doug’s band (Stumble Witch) cover Rich Men North of Richmond, here: https://youtu.be/IOXkqL7Kz78?si=hCTJeVTCLFl-ih2d ENJOY!

We’re all looking for answers to the wrong questions. Jim & Doug look at the recent uptick in what appears to be an artificially boosted issue sashaying across the country.   Obligatory trigger warning: if you disagree with us, it’s satire. If you agree with us, it’s a coincidence.

Jim takes his L on the Murdaugh verdict and is swayed by the State’s closing rebuttal. OJ weighs in with his expert opinion. The prosecution pulls all of their muscles, patting themselves on the back. Maybe AI can do a better job? We ask Chat GPT a series of questions to see if it’s ready to rule us. The results are…010110001101.

Out of respect for Black History Month, we here at Ignore the Rant decided to take a knee and let black voices be heard. So now that’s over, we’re here to contribute to our inevitable future cancelling. We cover most of the stories we missed and dip into some recent headlines. Mainly, the Murdaugh trial, the Ukraine/Russia decade old war turns 1 year old and Dilbert doesn’t bet on black.

The next riot season may have had a false start in Atlanta this past weekend. What happened, who’s involved and what is it over? We cover this in the only way we know how, by name calling on a fifth grade level. But with sound clips of more professional people bringing the info. Hockey is not gay enough in Philadelphia. George Santos has some splainin’ to do. ENJOY!   AJ+ mini doc on “Cop City”:   https://youtu.be/fPMW47tCA1g

Jim & Doug come stumbling into the year with an episode that sounds exactly like something we recorded a year ago. We talk Dawgs being National Champs (again), “smart” people saying stupid things about Covid (again), hypocritical politicians (again), and why you shouldn’t have hope that they will make things better (again).   In short… new year, old us. ENJOY! (again)

After weeks of illness, studio setbacks, and other excuses, we finally come together to close out 2022. We talk FTX, Elon & Twitter, and Kanye‘s crusade. We pay tribute to Herschel Walker’s Senate run and finally, we close it out with a very necessary and totally not gay debate on whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not.  And because “Christmas” is said once in the episode, this is now a Christmas podcast. As mentioned at the end of the show, for anyone who would like to donate to our buddy Doug, the link is below. He has recently fell on hard times financially, and any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas!   Doug‘s donation link:  https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3542101841151328399  

In a world where everyone has a hot take and a microphone, this is something like that. But worse. Much much worse. Enjoy!
