Les mer Life in the Stupid Times

We're witnessing what could be the stupidest era in American history. Fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening.We started “Life in the Stupid Times” to connect with people who share our frustration with this era. It’s free to listen. Contribute what you want, even if it’s nothing at all.We are, let’s face it, hurtling toward fascism and ideocracy. Every week (more or less), Life in the Stupid Times examines the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense.This is not the slickest podcast out there. Our style is bare bones. We record on at-home equipment and edit it ourselves. Frankly, we are learning as we go. To support the show, visit our Buy Me a Coffee account at https://coff.ee/lifeinthestupidtimes Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Freakout Over Obama's Presidential Center

James and Lisa offer updates on the illegal Iran war, the White House cage match and the Great Reflecting Pool Debacle of 2026.

After a hiatus of two weeks, James and Lisa are back to discuss the stupidity of the MAHA movement, including the tragedies suffered by some parents skipping vitamin K shots for newborns, RFL Jr.'s bad idea about letting kids use tanning beds and, probably, the stupidest current "health" trend of all: drinking raw milk and consuming raw-milk dairy products.
