Episode 16: HotProtestRadio or Delete Your Duplicates, Defund the Two-Party System, and Maybe Text Your Dad Back In this slightly-too-honest episode of Hot Dad Radio, Josh and Derek accidentally make a political podcast while trying to fix a broken episode (classic). Between fighting off headaches, duplicate RSS feeds, and rogue Apple privacy settings, the guys spiral into a full-blown convo on voter turnout, third-party fantasies, weaponize rubber-necking and digital surveillance. We talk about: 🛠️ Technical glitches that would make your grandpa smash an iPad 🗳️ Why Tennessee voter turnout feels like trying to start a band on Craigslist 🇺🇸 Third-party politics, the ghost of Ross Perot, and building a movement on zero dollars and delusional optimism 📱 Apple Intelligence (lol), surveillance states, and the horrifying realization that yes, TikTok is watching 💥 LA protests vs. media exaggeration: fire emoji ≠ full-blown revolution Also featuring: Planned Parenthood donations, Josh's mom maybe running for office, Derek beefing with his Congressman via email, and the possible invention of the Hot Dad Party™—patriotic, chaotic, and proudly unelectable. This episode is for the high-functioning hedonist who wants a little civic engagement with their existential dread.
