—Have you ever overdosed on a dog medication? Jake has, because he likes to live life to the fullest.
Even if it puts him into an almost life-ending coma.

It’s also the title of his newest (first) comedy special, and we give it a little promo here.

—Alex Jones finally got what he deserved when the Sandy Hook families won a $1.5 billion settlement against him.

His assets are being sold off, and in a move inspired by God, The Onion bought Infowars.

But, because the worst of humanity doesn’t go gentle into that good night, Alex is suing the Sandy Hook families, and his supplements company is filing to have the sale overturned.

Hopefully these lawsuits turn out the way they should, and everyone involved with Alex and his anti-human ways gets an incurable disease and suffer a painful, prolonged demise.

—Kamala lost, but was it a mandate?

As the votes continue to be tallied, it’s closer than ever. What looked like a rout is actually, while still a victory, only occurred with a popular vote difference of 2,000,000 people.

We’re a divided country, and 70+ million are either ill-informed, hateful, or stupid.

I’m not sure that says good things about us.

That said, Kamala spent money like an idiot, and made some really dumb, repeat-of-what-Hillary-did-in-2016 mistakes.

Dumb.

—An idiot duct tapes a banana to a wall, and someone pays $6.5 million for it.

What a time to be alive.

—We discussed this last week (or, recently, at least), but Spotify doesn’t pay artists anything. Lilly Allen makes more taking pictures of her feet for Only Fans than she does for streaming her songs.

We ramble down a tangent of streaming services, musicians, Napster, and Metallica.

—Matt Gaetz was up for Attorney General, and then dropped out. Now, he’s on Cameo, with George Santos.

Why did Matt drop out?

Because he’s (most likely) a criminal, and a pervert, and a pedo.

A congressional report on his after-hours activities was about to expose what everyone knows, but what the worst of the worst people choose to ignore: that he paid underage girls to sleep with them.

That is both (a) illegal, and (b) creepy and wrong.

Your Republican Party, ladies and gentlemen.

Tangent: Spotify, Sirius/XM, and Pandora all treat comedians worse than musicians.

Ask me how I know.

—Religious hypocrisy is an interesting thing.
Speaker Mike Johnson claims to love Jesus, but supports politicians and policies that are 100% anti-Christian.

We offer a small quiz asking why.

—Last week, we stumbled our way through a conversation about transgender kids. Jake had a thought, and a listener countered that thought with an article.
So, once again we wander into the never controversial and always fun topic of transgender children.

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.

Tune in and get your giggle on.
