Episode 547: Discussions of War

Idiots On Parade, the Too Ugly for TV Podcast

This week, the Idiots jump right in by tackling the big issue of the day: Halloween Costumes.

Schitt’s Creek actress Emily Hampshire issued an apology for dressing up with a friend as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Why did she apologize? No one knows, but she did, and the world is a worse place for her capitulation to the angry mob of losers who took offense with her costume.

Following that, it’s time to dive into the Israel-Hamas war. Jake tells personal stories from his time in the Army. Having spent time in Afghanistan, he has a little more experience with combat than most keyboard warriors.

We ask if Israel is losing the moral high ground they’ve held for so long, and how they can correct their backtracking.

Also: if you’re not turning to two comedians for your information on the conflict, you know who you should probably listen to? A twenty-nine year old Latina actress. That’s right, Selena Gomez has thoughts on the war, and the same people who were offended by Emily Hampshire’s costume gave it to Gomez with both barrels on full blast.

From there, the discussion turns to money.

Awful human being Josh Hawley got into it with horrible human being Mitch McConnell, because Hawley (of all people) wants to legislate Citizens United out of existence. Unfortunately, politicians love money, and Republicans were warned not to back the bill.

Also on the money side of things, the Raiders are paying an obscene amount of it in order to have both Josh McDaniels and Jon Gruden NOT coach football for them, and if you’re a friend of Ron DeSantis, you can get paid well to be stupid. Apparently where “Go Woke, Go Broke” is a thing, the opposite is true: “Be Stupid, Get Paid.”

And finally, a little something about the cult Kelly Johnson, wife of new Speaker Mike Johnson, is in.

Religion: is there anything wackier?

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

Tune in and get your giggle on.
