How to be a Manly Rube

Be Wary of Miracles! (evidence of GOD meme)

Often, grifters offer "evidence" to those of faith, knowing that a crisis of faith can be a terrifying thing. It's important to be cautious of anyone offering evidence of a god, angles, or divine interventions. Deceivers exist and are not likely shy about selling you "miracles." We look into a few of the most famous ones in this episode.

How to be a Manly Rube

The internet is full of memes about masculinity, and there are so many ways to be grifted into masculinising nonsense. Join us for a look at the history of these cons and placebos and discover a very bold through line to the present. Some cons hardly change.

Still Twitchin'

I don't even know where to begin with a description for this one. Let's see... some really messed up stuff happened, there were a lot of screw ups and as usual, our host obsesses over the spread of nonsense regarding this situation.

Public Shaming with Holly Conrad

Today, we talk with Holly Conrad about public shaming, cancel culture and how the elements of internet culture affect and shape our lives and society. Join us, as Holly shares her experience navigating the ire of the internet and we discuss what drives us on both sides of controversy. What do we lose when we sell personhoods as products? What essential things are we missing in an online world of curated personalities? And how does all of this affect our mental and societal health? NOTE: This is an uncut episode with no edits in the conversation. I thought the full raw conversation was appropriate for this episode in particular.

Who is JD Vance? (or "JD Vancy Pants")

JD Vance, or JD Vancy Pants as he... likes to be called has a sad, sad origin story for a VP... sad as in pathetic not like boo hoo sad. He tells a sob story, but he comes off as more of a dumb baby. Anyway, give this episode a listen, you'll see what I mean. There's a lot of despicable weakness here and we didn't even mention him whining that Ukraine's leader didn't say "thank you!"
