| Weekly Skews – Bread and Electoral Circuses | 12 Nov 2025 | 01:00:04 | |
After a pretty resounding message from the voters that they should stand strong for healthcare, Senate Democrats make the heroic decision to let Donald Trump have everything he wants and rub their bellies. Then we get into the now possibly moot fight over SNAP and all the silliness around last week’s elections, which included Kentuckyans who were shocked and upset they couldn’t vote against the mayor of New York, and an enthusiast for Nazi-adjacent porn who lost a Lt. Gov race despite debating an AI of his opponent that he made say dumb stuff. | |||
| Weekly Skews – From Russia With Stupid | 05 Nov 2025 | 00:59:02 | |
We’ve found a new family who fled to Russia to escape Woke, only to endure a Biblical level of suffering, which includes having to snuggle goats to not freeze to death. The lady we’re gonna install as the dictator of Venezuela says they have Hamas now, so please act quickly. And the FBI director joins the mile high club on your dime, patriotically. | |||
| Weekly Skews – Caribbean Cruise Missiles | 10 Sep 2025 | 01:00:13 | |
We discuss Donald Trump’s career as a non-exist federal undercover agent and the new Epstein scandal strategy: Steal QAnon talking points from 2019. Then, America blew up a fishing boat with 11 civilians on it to stop less cocaine than is in your average single SEC frat house. Can the war crimes get more wanton? We check in on what’s going on in South America’s and the Caribbean’s politics and economies to learn: Probably. | |||

Skewers you may have noticed that stories involving threats of political violence have been trending upward recently, and 2024 is only nine days old. So that’s…less than comforting. Tonight we discuss this and a great many other topics. Join us. | |||

Tonight we discuss the growing trend of school voucher programs in red states, including (of course) Trae’s home state of Tennessee, which is set to expand their already controversial program tremendously.

It was a rootin’ tootin’ day at congress with at least two instances of almost fisticuffs. To whatever extent it was hidden Trump went full on mask-off fascist over the weekend. Also should the government allow for-profit A.I. revenge porn? Silicon Valley says yes. Mark’s hosting and Corey’s hopping on last minute because Trae is in 1883 with no wifi. Join us! | |||

| Weekly Skews – Soon: Medicare Only Covers Witch Doctors | 03 Sep 2025 | 00:59:09 | |
A Pentagon higher-up is suing his psychic side-piece for threatening to beat up his wife. An affair that started as innocent research for a book that we’re guessing is like “What if Jack Ryan was into healing crystals?” Keeping with the theme of mysticism, we get into RFK’s ongoing destruction of the HHS and CDC, him finally admitting he doesn’t believe in germs, and our new CDC director who thinks he should be able to sell your kidneys. | |||
| Weekly Skews - 10/31/23 – Spooky Skews | 01 Nov 2023 | 01:00:04 | |
Happy Halloween, Skewers! Tonight we look ahead at the already-ridiculous election cycle looming in 2024. Trick or treat, bayba. | |||

Tonight Smart Mark returns and, after a check-in on the continuing idiocy that is the House GOP’s search for a Speaker, as well as some other fun tidbits, we then take a look at the few elections happening this November, e.g. the KY gubernatorial race, the Ohio abortion measure, etc., and how the outcomes thereof could shape the larger elections in 2024. | |||

Tonight we talk about Kevin McCarthy being ripped apart by the monster he helped to create (shocked Pikachu face!), as well as Trump's quarter billion dollar fraud case, and more. Join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews - 9/26/23 – What About Bob | 27 Sep 2023 | 00:59:37 | |
Tonight: Turns out Democrats do crime too! Namely New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who it turns out is super into taking bribes and the like. On this episode (in addition to covering a myriad of other topics) we take the firm stance that crimes are bad, regardless of party affiliation. Please applaud. And also join us | |||
| Weekly Skews - 9/19/23 – Dumbest. Congress. Ever. | 20 Sep 2023 | 00:59:50 | |
With a proxy war in Ukraine, a cold war in China, a covid spike, a jump in childhood poverty, and 12 days until a government shutdown… what’s everyone in Congress up to? Well, giving public hand jobs and freaking out about Fetterman’s shorts, for starters. Also: the UAW strike and a Texas impeachment update. Join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews - 9/12/23 – Impeachment: So Hot Right Now | 13 Sep 2023 | 01:00:11 | |
The GOP in the House and in the state of Wisconsin have impeachment in mind, for Joe Biden and Janet Protasiewicz (state Supreme Court), respectively. That neither has done anything remotely impeachable is, of course, immaterial. Join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews - 9/05/23 – Labor Day and the Autoworkers Strike | 06 Sep 2023 | 00:59:47 | |
Happy belated Labor Day, y’all, and on tonight’s Skews we’re keeping with the spirit of the holiday as we discuss the ongoing Summer of the Strike, namely a forthcoming action from United Auto Workers as they prepare to take it to Detroit’s Big 3. Join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews - 8/29/23 – Tragic Kingdom: Florida | 30 Aug 2023 | 01:00:05 | |
Last week we focused on the rampant lunacy gripping Texas, so this week it's only fair that we turn our attention to their fiercest competitor in the Craziest State contest: Florida. Along the way: Trump's mugshot/trial date, and more. Join us | |||
| Good Skews: Lynlee Thorne on the 2025 Virginia Elections | 27 Aug 2025 | 00:33:50 | |
In 2025, Virginia is one of only two states with major elections—and the results will shape the midterms and even the 2028 presidential race. Producer Matt talks with Lynlee Thorne of Rural Ground Game about why it matters to compete in every district, the surge of new candidates, and how rural local leaders are fueling Democratic momentum statewide. | |||

| Weekly Skews - 8/15/23 – FELONIES ON FELONIES ON FELONIES | 16 Aug 2023 | 00:59:43 | |
Trump’s indicted once again, prompting the usual caterwauling. We get into it, then dive into what a good ol’ Middle American political prosecution actually looks like in the case of one small town newspaper. Also an important ALIENS update. | |||
| Weekly Skews - 8/8/23 – Florida VS Learning | 09 Aug 2023 | 00:59:47 | |
Tonight Trae and Mark keep tabs on the high-stakes special election in Ohio and discuss Florida's ongoing war on public education/learning stuff, among other fun topics (aliens maybe??). Join us. | |||

Welp, we were gonna talk about last week’s bizarre congressional hearings about aliens (!!), but then Trump got indicted for the eleventy-third time. So now perhaps 12 lucky D.C. jurors will get to answer the question “Should America still be?” Trae’s on the road, so tonight Corey’s filling in and Mark’s hosting. (Hopefully we’ll still have time to talk about aliens.) Join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews 7/25/2023 – DeSantisn’t Lookin Good | 26 Jul 2023 | 00:59:52 | |

| Weekly Skews 4/04/2023 – Trump’s Arraignment | 05 Apr 2023 | 01:00:16 | |

| Weekly Skews 3/28/2023 – TN Tragedy; WI Court Race | 29 Mar 2023 | 01:01:06 | |
Tonight we touch on the school shooting in Trae’s screwed up state of Tennessee, which seems to be trying to engineer more of them. Then we’ll attempt to lighten the mood with some dummies before talking about the characters and goons involved in the impending Wisconsin Supreme Court election, the most important election no one knows about. | |||
| Weekly Skews – Is That Arby’s In Your Pants Or Are You Happy to See Me | 20 Aug 2025 | 01:00:15 | |
The U.S. has ended medical visas for child amputees because it raised the ire of a woman currently being deposed about genital sandwich jokes. The newest moral panic involves taking flamethrowers to dolls to defeat an ancient Mesopotamian demon. Finally there’s a Congressman who’s trying to set himself up as an international weapons trafficker, kind of like the Floridian Merchant of Death, except of course stupidly and failing at it. | |||
| Weekly Skews 3/21/2023 – Trump’s Troubles | 22 Mar 2023 | 01:00:06 | |
Why are people saying Trump is about to be arrested? (He said it.) But is he not lying for once? We break down all the investigations, including a new sixth one that just dropped, and whether it’ll really be a 17-year-old affair with a porn star that ends our long national nightmare. (It won’t.) All that and plenty more, so join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews 3/14/2023 – Bank Failures Back on the Menu | 15 Mar 2023 | 00:59:42 | |
Tonight we discuss the collapse of one of America’s largest banks, SVB. Fox News wonders: was woke-ism to blame?! The answer, weirdly, is “not even a little bit”, but what was the cause? And is it a harbinger of things to come? We’ll get into all that, plus a discussion of more humorous (if upsetting) hypocrisy out of, where else, Tennessee. Join us. | |||
| Weekly Skews 3/07/2023 – Bad Bipartisan Business | 08 Mar 2023 | 01:00:08 | |
Tonight, we're talking some recent Biden Administration/Big Dem moves that have us shaking our heads. Namely: siding with Republicans on a crime bill in the nation's capital, and gutting expanded food stamp benefits, plunging millions of Americans into poverty. On a lighter note: CPAC was a sparsely attended and sad affair. Join us! | |||
