932 - Sweet Virginia feat. Goad Gatsby (5/9/25)
Added 2025-05-09 16:01:27 +0000 UTCWill and Felix catch up on some of the week’s news: We welcome the Chicago Pope, celebrate Houthi victory in the Red Sea, and follow up on new Fetterman outbursts since the big profile we covered Monday. Then, we’re joined by Richmond journalist Goad Gatsby to enter Virginia into our states series. We look at a gay porn scandal surrounding GOP Lt. Governor candidate John Reid, check in on a J6er halfway house, look at the former CIA agent running for Governor as a Democrat, and generally discuss the various contradictions that riven the burn-it-down MAGA movement & its supporters among the institutional professionals of good ol’ Raytheon Acres.

Goad is a truly kind and beloved guy. Famous for his mullet, unicycle and boombox, he is well liked and respected by everyone in the activist scene in Richmond. Nothing but love for that guy.

2025-05-12 17:33:55 +0000 UTCI think, **if** I was being very generous and devil's advocate-y, depending on whay screenshot of 'Rushmore' was sent as a "threat", it would have to be in reference to Max Fischer cutting the brakes on Bill Murray's car (the scene with The Who playing 'Forgiven')
