Summary

Why do liberals keep doubling down on policies that clearly aren’t working? The fellas—Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook—jump straight into a week where the “woke agenda” isn’t failing… it’s accelerating. Because this isn’t subtle anymore. You’re seeing it in the spending, the priorities, the messaging—and the complete refusal to admit any of it might be wrong. So the real question becomes: is this about fixing problems… or protecting the ideology no matter the cost? The fellas break it all down—story by story—connecting the dots between policy decisions, cultural narratives, and the real-world consequences hitting taxpayers and voters right now. In this episode… California programs that defy common sense—and keep getting funded Boston spending priorities that leave basic needs behind A Senate candidate scandal that raises bigger questions about accountability Millennials vs Boomers—and who actually got the better deal PLUS, A STORY SO OUTRAGEOUS IT INVOLVES RFK JR., A ROAD TRIP, AND A RACCOON. Then it’s classic Fun Time Friday chaos. The fellas bounce from policy insanity to cultural absurdity, proving once again that real life is weirder than anything you could script. Special Guest: Michele Tafoya – Why she’s stepping into politics after a career in sports – What voters are actually frustrated about right now – The gap between political messaging and real-world outcomes – Why “moderate” branding isn’t matching policy reality At the end of the day, this episode hits one core idea: when failure isn’t punished, it gets repeated—and sometimes amplified. Question of the Day: Who had it worse? Boomers or millennials? If you’re not subscribed, you’re behind.
