Gabrielle Union was dismissed from AGT (America’s Got Talent) after one season on NBC. She raised concerns about the climate and treatment of minority groups during tapings. She points to incidents like Jay Leno saying dogs in a painting “looked like something on the menu at a Korean restaurant” as proof of a hostile work environment. Based on the comments of Jay Unleashed to Chris Thomas on this installment, she may have a valid point!
Chris Thomas hears from Billy Briggs, who shares a revealing story of how simultaneously seeing a trailer of ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’ about Mister Rogers on display televisions and hearing John Fogerty’s ‘Centerfield’ over Target’s sound system activated a flashback to childhood trauma! Warning: This episode is likely not ideal for victims of ping pong paddle abuse.
Chris Thomas and independent consumer advocate/critic Good Times Tom Ladoux try the limited edition holiday flavor of Mountain Dew. The drink seems to make Good Times speak in Spanish, even though he doesn’t even know Spanish! What the heck?
Chris Thomas chats with survey analyst Nigel Lee about the poor performance of the Charlie’s Angels reboot movie. Nigel says his survey results from over 200 inmates held in a correctional facility proves the entire country does not want to see “women acting like men.” Nigel goes on a oddball tangent about unwashed menstruation stains on the uniforms of the female Ghostbusters. No, we don’t know what that has to do with the Charlie’s Angels reboot either!
Relationship expert Michael Ficus joins the show to discuss how he unexpectedly made a familiar face gag on his fart while they were waiting in line for Subway sliders. Also, feel his shame as he describes his date seeing a Magnum Condom ad promoted in his Twitter feed when he doesn’t actually have “the goods.”
Substitute teacher Paul Dawson is upset that he lost out to deceased actor James Dean on an acting role he tried out for. He also recently was dismissed from a substitute teaching position because he ate 80 pieces of snack sized Halloween candy, had to move his bowels in the middle of a line dancing activity, and called a middle school student the “n-word” in frustration after she called him a “boomer.” Things just haven’t been going Paul’s way!
Survey analyst Nigel Lee claims to have analyzed how women respond to the Joker Dance being performed on the now infamous steep stairs in Brooklyn. He believes that women from all demographics have a strong sexual attraction to the dance, including “Panera Bread Moms” that can’t cook if their lives depended on it and “Chipotle Moms” that hope their kids get food poisoning eating a chicken burrito. Given this, Nigel says President Trump will win over women by dressing up like the Joker and doing an exact imitation of the Joker Dance on the steps. Nigel thinks women will be so turned on that they will demand Trump not be impeached. Oh, brother!
Travel agent Jeremy Gable is on the program to promote his “Total Satisfaction Holiday Ecstasy in Paradise” package. Would you spend 5 days and 4 nights at a Days Inn in Hawaii having sex with strangers despite the STD surge in Hawaii? If yes, Jeremy Gable would like to have your business!
Adult day care center operator Dale Pine comes on to discuss Shepard Smith leaving Fox News. Dale thinks he’s joining CNN to start a “queer block” of news with Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon...sigh. Dale also expresses disgust over Joaquin Phoenix gyrating in the nude in the Joker movie. Dale has problems!
A financial advisor soils himself in horror after seeing a sanitary napkin and tampon dispenser in the men’s restroom at a bookstore. Is this a normal reaction? Also, we discuss whether Bernie Sanders having a heart attack can be attributed to eating too much spicy Chinese takeout on the campaign trail.
Larry Insell thinks movie theaters are inappropriately lumping in all Joker enthusiasts that dress up as the character with involuntary celibates. He thinks he should be able to go into any theater dressed up as the Joker with a boombox and dance to Batman movie soundtrack music. Do you agree?
Chris Thomas and special guest Jeremy Gable discuss Shane Gillis being hired and fired by Saturday Night Live, as well as the passing of several prominent public figures. Somehow Jeremy Gable screws up at every turn, confusing Shane Gillis for Shane Dawson, Cokie Roberts for Edd ‘Kookie’ Byrnes, etc. Thanks for listening; tell a friend about Grade A Nation!
On this installment of Grade A Nation, Chris Thomas talks to a youngster that has special feelings about AEW wrestler Nyla Rose. After Chris Thomas tells the youngster that Nyla Rose is a transgender performer, the discussion snowballs into talk of Sonic corn dogs dipped in ranch dressing and other bizarre areas. Yet another Grade A Train-wreck ;)
A fast food worker loses his job over refusing to give an IT Chapter Two collectors cup of Pennywise to an 8 year old. Is this fair?
Chris Thomas and independent consumer advocate/critic Good Times Tom Ladoux compare the brand new Popeyes chicken sandwich with the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. Good Times Tom Ladoux has a REALLY good time eating these sandwiches!
