Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended.

Every episode we blasts anyone who gets in our way

We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence

To any topic that makes the news, makes it big

or makes us mad. It's skeptical. It's political. And there is no welcome, Matt. Today is the day

we're recording. We don't know when you're listening. This one is going to be a long form in July.
