Episode 31- Ted Cruisin' For A Bruisin'
from Hog Planet · host Hog Planet
On this episode, we explain why neither of your hosts particularly care about Russian meddling, how Putin’s presence in the White House does NOT offend us, and why the context of the alleged hacking matters. We will explain this for as long as possible before the CIA throws us in jail for being Russian bots. In business news, we have to say, I TOLD YOU SO, regarding Elon Musks baseless attacks against the heroic diver who saved a Thai boys’ soccer team, and Mark Zuckerberg’s attempt to be inclusive towards holocaust deniers. In pop culture, we’re talking about Boots Riley’s anti capitalist film Sorry to Bother You, Sacha Baron Cohen’s Whois America?, and Disney’s decision to fire their one passable director in a tremendous capitulation to Mike Cernovich and the alt-right. As always, we will close out with a lighthearted story, involving critters, to cleanse your palate.
