Punch the monkey

from I Don't Like That! Podcast · host Taya Valkyrie and Bobby Blueberry

This week’s episode proves one thing: animals are thriving and humans are absolutely not ok.We’re launching our brand new Animal Kingdom segment with Punch, the baby monkey who was abandoned, raised by zookeepers, and carried around his emotional support stuffed animal while the internet sobbed collectively. Then we meet Nazgul, the wolfdog who ESCAPED HIS HOUSE and accidentally competed in the Olympics, triggered the official finish line camera, and became a global legend overnight. Honestly? Give him the gold.But the humans weren’t much better. We break down the most unhinged Olympic moments including a live cheating confession from a medalist, the completely unhinged “PenisGate” rumors, America defeating Canada in hockey glory, and the chaos of THAT locker room celebration. This was the messiest Olympics in history and we lived for every second.And then… My Strange Addiction returned to remind us that humanity is fragile. We’re talking about a woman addicted to eating cat food, a truck driver addicted to snorting cleaning powder, and a man eating sticks of butter like it’s a personality trait. We are concerned. Deeply concerned.Finally, with The Traitors season finale approaching, we make our predictions, question everyone’s sanity, and prepare emotionally for betrayal, lies, and destruction.Animals are healing. Humans are spiraling. And we have thoughts.New episode out now and every Tuesday at 8am PT!
