What this episode covers

Tissues not provided… So much in this episode! We talk about Super Sentai, & an episode of the current season with a heavy dessert theme, & ride that tangent into learning about some Japanese desserts! Representative AOC is keeping ‘em mad! She called out Joe Manchin’s corruption, leading him to sloppily defend himself on TV. & even got Sarah Palin tryna clout chase, but the congresswoman has a hotline for those mad at her. Later, we discuss the California recall election, Gavin Newsom, & the bizarre rapport between Larry Elder & Rose McGowan. COVID isn’t done with us. We talk about how cases in children have skyrocketed, the nonsensical (but expected) adverse right-wing response to Biden’s newest workplace vaccine protocols, & Nicki Minaj’s tweets gone awry, plus a discussion about celebrities & the reach their words have. Other topics include multi-pronged protest efforts, mainstream rap hitmaking & Verzuz (Fat Joe vs Ja Rule), the Met Gala, a flashback to Cyrex vs the Barbz, MGK vs McGregor, & a couple of Freak Show conspiracy theories.
