We Try To Make It Dumber And Weirder

We take a hard left into news and politics, using Canada’s EU chatter as a springboard to trade lanes, travel freedoms, and why U.S. policy choices can feel like they’re powered by ego and spite instead of outcomes. We also get into PFAS forever chemicals and environmental rollbacks, not as a textbook explanation but as a gut-check conversation about incentives, misinformation, and how fear sells online. If you care about media literacy, science communication, and why people keep falling for grifts, you’ll hear the frustration underneath the jokes. From there it’s back to the heart of the show: real life, weird life. We swap sleep survival tactics, talk about online friendships built through Twitch communities, and lean into the creative mantra that keeps our projects moving: ask how to make it dumber and weirder, then commit. Expect indie game tangents, Omega Mart plans, Red Green duct tape wisdom, and at least one extremely visual tape-measure moment that we absolutely use to guilt you into watching the video version. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who loves chaotic comedy podcasts, and leave a review that tells us the dumbest idea you’ve ever followed through on.

We take a hard left into news and politics, using Canada’s EU chatter as a springboard to trade lanes, travel freedoms, and why U.S. policy choices can feel like they’re powered by ego and spite instead of outcomes. We also get into PFAS forever chemicals and environmental rollbacks, not as a textbook explanation but as a gut-check conversation about incentives, misinformation, and how fear sells online. If you care about media literacy, science communication, and why people keep falling for grifts, you’ll hear the frustration underneath the jokes. 

From there it’s back to the heart of the show: real life, weird life. We swap sleep survival tactics, talk about online friendships built through Twitch communities, and lean into the creative mantra that keeps our projects moving: ask how to make it dumber and weirder, then commit. Expect indie game tangents, Omega Mart plans, Red Green duct tape wisdom, and at least one extremely visual tape-measure moment that we absolutely use to guilt you into watching the video version.
