What's up, everybody, welcome back.

Happy Skews Day to you.

It is the first of October, 2024.

I'm Trey.

That's Mark.

How you doing, Mark?

Are we all going to fucking die?

How's it going?

Eventually, yeah. Yeah, today we were talking about the hurricane and one of our, you know, one of the apocalypsees that we're living through and climate change. And I guess you want to start off talking about the other one, the Middle East. The Middle East has now been canceled. We're going to reboot it next year under new with a new showrunner, a new host.

Fuck, dude, we bumble-fuck our way into another war in the Middle East, another land war in Central Asia. I swear to God, I'm just going to go live in the woods and dig a hole. I don't

fucking understand anything that's happening right now. The main thing is, I think we need a rule that if we're going to go to war, 20% of Congress

should be assigned by lots to serve on the front lines.

That feels like a useful deterrent.

Yeah.

It's just the game.

Or at least, you know, their sons or something, I know it's not fair to the sons, but it would still make them, you know, think a little more about it. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. That kind of reminds me that I read last week that there was this Harvard professor in the 80s who proposed during the Cold War that during, or for the nuclear codes, that what they should do is they should embed them in the chest

of a secret service agent who the president had to kill with his bare hands to remove the codes

to launch the nukes because you know that would make him come face to face with taking a human

life in that context and the guy say when he like proposed it at the pentagon or whatever they were

like that's horrible then he might never launch if we did something like that. Yeah, you get it. Yeah. I think you get it. Right. Yeah. Well, the important thing is we keep a heavy military presence in the Middle East so we can have cheap oil and gas so we can jid up more climate change. We drown more of our own people. That's really what we've got to keep doing. That's the system work isn't intended. Yeah, it's going to be an upbeat show tonight, everybody, a lot of shenanigans, a lot of goofing tonight, a lighthearted discussion. I mean, you've got, if you've been watching the news lately, you know what this show is, you

know, you shouldn't be surprised. However, on that note, I will say, and I'll probably say this again a little bit later, just so you all know, just like we did with the first debate a few weeks ago, we will be ending a few minutes early tonight to give you all time to switch over. I know you can't miss this show, but you can't miss that either. So I just want to make it easy for everybody to get over to the big debate with Tim Wals and Jim David, Jim David Vance. See how that goes. Yeah. Is that his real name now? He's from Donald, right? James Donald. Yeah, I don't know. I just... Oh, he changed it. Yeah. So, changed his name five times? Nothing. Yeah, whatever. So, yeah, we had a lot of... We've had a lot of dessert shows lately with Nazi porn sex scandals. But yeah, today's some broccoli. But before we get the broccoli, let's do let's have dessert first, all right?

We got a fun, dumb scandal.
