On this episode of AirWreckRadio, Stacey starts us off with some more thoughts on that garbage Bill Maher said about Stan Lee. Stacey is listening to an audiobook, “Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World,” which author Steven Johnson seems to have written directly at Bill Maher. It’s a great book, and it’s all about how all of the technology that makes the modern world possible originates in play. In the news: Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has plead guilty to lying to Robert Meuller during the investigation into how much contact Trump had with the Russians leading up to the 2016 Presidential Election. Surprised? #UsToo. Also, it’s wierd to have a President about whom we can regularly say lied about stuff without including the word “allegedly.” Also in the news: General Motors is closing several factories across the U.S. and Canada in order to cut costs and give jobs to Mexicans. Here at AirWreckRadio, we’re happy about all these jobs for Mexicans, but we’re more than a little upset with an American corporation, GM, who is cutting 14,000 U.S. jobs after the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, handed them a giant tax break for absolutely no reason at all. 14,000 workers in the heart of Trump Country will now be without jobs, but GM shareholders can expect a nice 4th quarter bump, so, thanks… Obama? Bush? Consumers? Trump? It’s sometimes hard to know who to blame. Closing things up, the Church of Satan has sued Netflix for the use of the Statue of Baphomet in “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Netflix settled, and that seems kinda weird to us. AirWreckRadio: We like your shoes. Give us your shoes!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio, we start things off by asking the big questions! Namely: Where’s Disney with the live-action Tail Spin movie we all want? After that, it’s on to a new segment: “Dunkin’ on Bill Maher!” See, Bill Maher thinks that comic books are just for kids because he grew up in a repressive time when “responsible adults” couldn’t feel free to express their interests, unless those interests were hot rods and date rape. Never mind that he grew up during the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the Kennedy assassination, the cold war, and Nixon… obviously his time was the best time, and all of the rest of us, whose time it is now, are doing it wrong. New rule Bill Maher: don’t yuck other people’s yums. In the news this week: We’re all safe from the nasty lettuce that gave 33 people stomach aches! What a relief! Now maybe we can get universal background checks on firearm purchases and make a tiny difference in the amount of gun violence that has claimed over 13,000 victims this year. lol! jk! That’ll never happen because… money! Oh Boy! Also in the news this week, the migrant caravan has reached the US boarder, and so of course we fired tear gas at women and children, killing two. Meanwhile, Mayor McCheese is still ranting and raving about the “phony witch hunt” that is the Mueller investigation. Here’s the thing about witch hunts: a witch hunt is when you fanatically look for something that isn’t there. So, calling something a phony which hunt is just a weird way of saying what we all know, the Mueller investigation is a legitimate hunt. Closing things up, the holidays are upon us, and here at AirWreckRadio we want to know what your favorite holiday movies are! Go to Facebook.com/AirWreckRadio and let us know! AirWreckRadio: We miss romaine so much!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio, Stacey is a bit ill. Not sweet raps ill, but like sick. Not like sick dirt bike skills sick, but like under the weather sick. And that means he’s very distracted! In the news this week, Democrats had some big wins in the New York State Senate, which they will now control, along with the Assembly, and the Governorship! Controlling the State Senate is something Democrats have done only rarely and briefly over the past 75 years, and it’s is Cory and Stacey’s opinions that they’d better send some signals favoring progressive policies if they want to make that control last. Meanwhile, the New York Times article they referenced in this story manages to show off how smarty-pants they’re writers are by clumsily slopping dime-store words like “Pollyannaish” around to describe the situation for State Republicans. Also, for some folks, Thanksgiving Dinner can be an award time. We’re guessing few households have a more awkward time than the home of Kellyanne and George Conway. See, Kellyanne has to get out in front of America and lie to us regularly, using flippant and blatantly false language handed to her by the Burger King himself, while her husband, George Conway is the kind of Conservative who still has values, even though the people around him continue continue to embrace the spinelessly Machiavellian (are you looking, NYT?) strategy of toadying up to power, no matter how revolting or immoral. Recently Mr. Conway has been out on Twitter defending the 9th District Court, which our Special Boy hates, and lies about on twitter, his favored bathroom wall. Closing things up, is Red Dead Redemption 2 a boring game? Stacey says maybe a little, but it sure is pretty! AirWreckRadio: We’re the Pollyanna-isht!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio Stacey kicks us off with a tale about his new doctor, who gave him a stern scolding over his chosen hobby of alcohol enthusiasm. After that, he had to go and take a math test that looked more like an English test except that all the words were all scrambled up. Oh boy! In the news, Ivanka Trump has apparently been using private email to do her public work, despite the fact that her idiot father basically ran against Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Here at AirWreckRadio, we’re pretty sure that that’s not going to matter much to Trump’s base of what-aboutist dummies, and it really barely matters to us, but we sure find it ironic. Also in the news, horrible human being, and also bad-at-her-job County Clerk Kim Davis is going to be looking for a new job come January, and we think that’s just peachy. Word on the street is, she’s considering a job in the ministry, which seems like the kind of thing a self-important creep like Kim Davis would feel entitled to do. Problem is, she committed the Cardinal Sin of barring false witness when she refused to uphold her oath of office because of her so-called “religious beliefs.” Closing things up, the kilogram just aint what it used to be, and that’s okay, because now it’s something different and even more sciencey! The new and improved kilogram is based on Plank’s Constant instead of some waffly, unreliable ol’ hunk of platinum-iridium. Luckily, we live in ‘Merika, so our lives will be pretty unaffected by this change, but our European counterparts are going to feel almost no change in their day-to-day lives, so our thoughts and prayers are with them in their time of mourning for Le Grand K. This and more on another high blood pressure episode of AirWreckRadio! AirWreckRadio: We get the job done!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio the boys share their joy over Red Dead Redemption 2, or Grand Theft Horse, as our friend Magnus Apollo of the Mind of Magnus show calls it. In these days of on-demand entertainment and binge watching, it’s unusual for friends and co-workers to enjoy water-cooler talk about a shared entertainment experience, but every body we know who games is playing this game. It’s nice to feel a sense of community about something that isn’t as important as whether or not people are all endowed with unalienable rights for a change. In the news: The midterm election has come and gone, mostly, and with it comes a time of firsts for women and LGBT people of all races, and we think that’s great! Also in the news, Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is fired, and we think that’s great too, although it does heighten tensions of the Mueller Investigation. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was once deemed too racist to serve as a judge, and it has always been our opinion that that should disqualify him from serving in the highest seat in the Justice Department. Also, also in the news: Marvel Comics legend, Stan Lee has passed away at the age of 95, and we think that stinks. Stan had a profound impact on the lives of both Cory and Stacey, and also on the lives of millions and millions of people over his nearly 60 year career making the stories that have become part of the zeitgeist, and he will be missed. Closing things up, El Chapo has been arrested and his trial is to take place in New York, where there seems to be some difficulty finding people willing to fill his jury. Yikes! AirWreckRadio: True Believers Forever!

Good news everybody! The 2018 midterm election is over and democrats won the House! We’re definitely a bit disappointing in Texas, though. I mean, we get it, Beto O’Rourke isn’t a conservative, but Ted Cruz is super gross and y’all all know it! In the news, a bunch of terrible things happened, and we didn’t really talk about it, instead choosing to distract ourselves, and hopefully you, with a little pop-talk. Have you seen Teen Titans Go! to the Movies? You should! AirWreckRadio: We’ll do better next time!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio, it’s the election we’ve all been waiting for! Midterm Election 2018 has taken like, 60 years to get here since the 2016 election left a majority of Americans wondering how we got into the Mirror Universe, and how we’ll ever get out, but it’s finally here! Cory and Stacey talk about their feelings, their hopes, and their fears on election night, while trying to have a little fun. In the news: The President of the United States of America spewed forth a suggestion that military men and women should fire on unarmed refugees because, according to the President, thrown stones are just the same as rifles. Really. Really? Meanwhile, word has spread that Our Special Boy is considering eliminating the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution via Executive Order. He probably won’t be able to do that, but the notion that he’s considering it and Republicans aren’t appalled is eye opening. Remember how they reacted when President Obama issued an Executive Order guaranteeing paid sick leave for federal contractors? There’s is just no moral consistency from some people. Closing things up: Did you know they’re rebuilding the Titanic? They are. It’s super dumb. Let us super-dummies tell you all about it! AirWreckRadio: My mother says it’s okay!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio, Stacey got Red Dead Redemption 2, and Cory is jelly! That doesn’t stop Stacey from talking a bit about the game every gamer in our age group has been biting their nails for! It’s a spoiler free breakdown of the early parts of the game. In the news this week: It’s election season, and that means that every scrap of State-owned land owns is littered with a regular rouge’s gallery of mostly republican campaign signs, even though Republicans are not generally supportive of the State holding land. Also, a lot of farmland is littered with these signs, despite the fact that Republican president, Donald Trump, has started an unnecessary trade war, causing farmers to need a $6 billion dollar bail-out. That $6 billion will probably not do enough to help already struggling family farms, while making it easier for giant corporate farms to further conglomerate. But, yeah, farmers should keep voting the same as they always have, despite the fact that it doesn’t appear to be working out for them. Closing things up this week: The boys give a subtle reminder that this Tuesday, November 6th is election day, GO VOTE!! Also, is neighborhood trick-or-treating a dying tradition? We hope not! AirWreckRadio: We hope not!

This week on AirWreckRadio, the boy’s kick things of questioning what makes anybody think a “Transformers” movie should be as long as “Schindler’s List” or “Titanic,” when any individual 10 minutes of any “Transformers” movie is essentially unwatchable? However, Stacey is optimistic (Prime) for the upcoming “Bumblebee” movie, because, if nothing else, the Transformers at least look like Transformers should look. How regressive. In the news this week, some crazy nobody is sending bombs to democrats, even though that never works. After recording we learned what we already believed to be true, the bomber is a crazy Trump supporter. Not all Trump supporters are crazy, but they sure do go to rallies where crazy people are. Closing things up this week, there’s a immigrant caravan headed towards the U.S., and we think it’s probably going to be handled terribly by the Federal Government. What a bummer! AirWreckRadio: Off subject? Yes!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio: Stacey kicks things off with a story about what a nightmare being a blue collar worker who’s going back to school can be. When math assignments begin to add up, frustration with an unfamiliar system multiplies, and the result is one egg over one’s face! In the news this week, a talking snake snuck into a dope garden 6000 years ago and convinced a woman, who was made out of a mud-man’s rib, to eat an apple. So obviously today the Trump administration has announced plans to define gender at the federal level as only binary, and strictly based on birth genitalia. Why? Because that’s what people who go on-and-on about Small Government want. Closing things up, football stuff! Not really though… When Buffalo Bills’ Footballsmen LaSean McCoy sustained an injury in the first, like, 2 minutes of last week’s game against the Colts, one of the announcers referred to McCoy as a “stud.” Stacey questions the morality of comparing a black man with an Anglo-Saxon last name in America to a farm animal, something even pornographers are beginning to turn away from. Seriously, for the money these announcers make, they could do a better job avoiding inadvertent racist comparisons, but then again, they were educated in sports-talk, not dog-whistles. AirWreckRadio: “We’re just the same, you and I. Think about it.”

On this episode of AirWreckRadio Cory wonders why it is that the least informed social-media users are often the loudest. Stacey explains that it’s the Dunning Kruger Effect at work. In the news this week, the Saudi Government murdered an American journalist and President Donald J. Trump says that they said they didn’t, even though American intelligence agencies say they did. A man like our President is unable to use intelligence, and that is also an example of the Dunning Kruger Effect at work. Closing things up, it appears that the world’s oldest living thing, Pando, an 80,000 year old tree, might finally be ready to throw in the towel. Cory is rightfully upset by this, but Stacey thinks maybe 80,000 years is a pretty good run. Why is this happening? We don’t know, but you’d better believe there are a million headlines out that that include the phrase “Scientists Stumped.” AirWreckRadio: The less you know, the more confident you can be that you know more than you know!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio Stacey shares some thoughts he had while doing some “enhanced” mathematics . For example, what exactly does your mouth do differently to pronounce “pah” instead of “bah”? In the news, Amazon has decided to start paying it’s low-wage workers something closer to a living wage after Bernie introduced the Stop BEZOS act, which would make employers like Amazon and Walmart pay higher taxes to cover the costs imposed by their under-payed employee’s government subsidies. This is a situation that unfolded in the background while the nation was busy watching our new Supreme Court Justice lie his way into a job for life in front of a complacent Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee who decided that a partisan win was more important than having a Justice who believes in the rule of law. Closing things up, a PAC called #FireTedCruz in paying for some really great attack adds against Ted Cruz, the Texas incumbent boot-licker who’s wife President Trump insulted in the high school hallway that was the 2016 election coverage, and whom now spends his time raising money for that same President Trump’s re-election fund. C’mon Texas! AirWreckRadio: With a name like that, it’s gotta be good!

On this episode of AirWreckRadio, Stacey wonders: would a prequel of “The Goonies” even make sense? Seriously, who on One-Eyed Willy’s crew built that organ, where did they get all the bones, and who reset the traps after Chester Cobblepot tripped them? And how did One-Eyed Willy convince his crew to join him in his suicide pact anyway? In the news this week, the stock market is “crashing” and all the millionaire pundits are panicking. For real, working-class people like us, though, it’s business as usual. Can’t stock up on ammo when you gotta work a third of your life away to keep the kids fed, watered, and sheltered. Closing things up, Donald Trump, the President of what used to be the greatest nation in the world “wrote” an opinion piece in USA Today, where he was able to publish all sorts of bold-faced lies about the democrat’s “Medicare for All” plan, while also omitting serious facts, like the fact that Medicare for All would save American tax-payers around 2 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. AirWreckRadio: The best* a man can get! *best is subjective, and even we don’t believe that!

Hey all, it’s our last episode EVER!!! (of Season 6 that is) On this Episode Stacey kicks things off talking about some serious flaws in the Neal McCoy song, “Rednecktified,” a fun little country jam that he definitely enjoys, but is also sort of endemic of the pride of fools these days. In the news this week, the NSA has made a plea for more whistle-blowers to come forward and blow some whistles. Great news for anybody working for the NSA who is also looking for a lifestyle change to living out their days in a hotel in Moscow, or some foreign embassy somewhere. What a deal! Also in the news, Pop icon Taylor Swift appears to be responsible for a surge in voter registration after she urged her 112 million followers to register to vote. Not generally fans of TaySwift, but today we say, “good on ya!” Also, also in the news, Trumps ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley has resigned form her position. We don’t know why. We suspect something gross, but we also certainly believe that her job has got to be one of the worst self-enriching jobs in the country these days. Closing things up, baby pigs in tiger clothes. Really? AirWreckRadio: Really!

Hey everybody, here at AirWreckRadio we know that the headlines can seem doom-and-gloomy, especially after 2 years of perpetual doom-and-gloominess! That’s why on this episode the boys pretty much say “F-it!” and have a lighthearted conversation about Stacey’s girl’s name, parental discretion, an tacos! It’s a real good time! (at least, we had fun.) AirWreckRadio: At least we had fun!
