Election Day was yesterday, but we recorded this on Sunday, so I really hope you people voted. I'm writing this on election day morning, from my dark room that only has 538 refreshing every 4 minutes and an IV to keep me hydrated from all the tears and nervous sweating. Am I rambling? No, you are. This is what QAnon sounds like, right? Just stupid rambling? On this episode, we talk about some conspiracy theories. Just what the heck is QAnon and why do so many people think he has the inside scoop on which Democrats are about to go to jail? And is George Soros really the mastermind that the right pretends he is? Darryl just tries to have a little fun. Ryan debates with an attempted murderer. Phil has really just had enough of... everything. And Sly feels VERY strongly about Home Depot's donations. Additional Reading: QAnon A Trip With George Soros Was The Bomber A Democrat?

The world's on fire again, so we needed a break. What do you want from us? We're only human! We take a break from the news and/or history and talk about our family again. You know, those people that you can't stand that just share memes all day about how Irish people were slaves too and Obama's a Soros puppet who should be in jail? Yeah, those heroes. In this episode, Ryan gives his strategy to help the police get the public to trust them again. Phil becomes the world's ultimate inventor. Darryl fears for his life. And Sly sells oil, but great oil that's very helpful from only the finest snakes. Also it's Ryan's birthday the day this comes out, tell him happy birthday on twitter. @stoopkidliveson Heaven On Earth Exposes The News Bonus episodes available at our patreon: https://www.patreon.com/flyingmachine All of our past episodes and other projects can be found at www.frondsradio.com Check out the rest of the shows on the network at http://flyingmachine.network/ Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/oopsitalkeddivisiveissues As always, Sly, and Darryl, Ryan’s other work can be found at: novel-graphics.com, minorbits.blogspot.com/, and http://wgirny.libsyn.com/website

The news is too intense this week, so we picked an evergreen topic to discuss, Silicon Valley. Is it a liberal utopia or a libertarian dystopia? Ryan breaks down why Elon Musk is the Trump of "intellectuals." Phil talks about just how unethical computer chips are. Sly breaks down one of the biggest and unknown scandals coming from Silicon Valley. And Darryl tells us some of the more bizarre ways workers in California commute and live to support this new age lifestyle. And yeah, when people say Space X, I hear Space Sex, too. It's not just you.

It's a complicated one this time, everybody. We're talking trade and tariffs. Trump is waging trade wars with... everybody. So what does that even mean? Darryl breaks down just what NAFTA and NATO are. Ryan just struggles to understand any of his own opinions. Phil gives us a sneak peak of what his Economics students hear every. damn. day. And Sly gets off to other peoples' misery, as per usual. For added context, we covered some of these talking points in more detail previously, in our China episode. Ryan and Sly were just on They See Me Rollin’, a wonderful actual play podcast and we had a LOT of fun playing a one shot in Fiasco!

In this episode, the gang discusses the Supreme Court and how apolitical it is. Justice Kennedy is retiring and Brett Kavanaugh is taking this place. What does this mean the country? Should we agree with the New York Times that this is a good thing? Was the Supreme Court always this bad? Is it bad on principle? Ryan makes sure we start off on a strong note. Sly discusses the long forgotten prequel to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Phil's been Phil and Darryl finds a serious oversight in the original Constitution.

We're talking Fascism! Everyone's favorite way to lose all their rights! How's North Korea diplomacy going? Why is Trump so terrible to our allies, but sucks up to dictators? What about Ur-Fascism or "Eternal Fascism?" Did an article written in 1995 really sum up all of Trump's tactics? On this episode, everyone's three least favorite hosts try to run the show without Ryan, but he's still the one writing the notes so too bad! Sly does a very convincing Ryan impression while he pretends humanity isn't doomed to fall to fascism. Darryl gives Trump some pointers on how to really get those libs to fall in line.. with just these 13 EASY STEPS! Phil reminds us of a bunch of world leaders even worse than Trump!

In this episode the gang describes the secret scandals of the past and present in the White House. Well the current scandals aren't so secret, but no body cares about them so they might as well be. A bunch of shady stuff has happened around Trump but none of it seems to be sticking to Trump. We discuss these overlooked antics and their importance in displaying Trump's corruptions. Ryan is ready to be surprised by hellworld.  Sly is way too obsessed with the Johnsons of Presidents. Phil believes in a hollow world while Darryl just wonders why people mish Buss.

We're trying to keep it lighthearted again! Do we succeed? Kind of! We're talking celebrity worship in politics! Kanye, Ted Nugent, other conservative celebrities, Donald Glover, and more! Mostly pooping your pants, though. Do you know what Ted Nugent did to dodge the draft? Here's a hint: He made a big ol' mess. Why does the rightwing love Kanye so much all of a sudden? Does George Bush finally care about black people? And Childish Gambino's This is America is amazing, but is Donald Glover's Bro Rape still ok to laugh at? Just how accountable should people be for the art they made years ago? It's the end of the school year and I'm exhausted, I'm not writing my usual essay here, y'all. Oops, I ended the show notes.

Against all odds, we're back. Last episode, we talked about how much we had to look forward to! Well, not anymore. It's time to dip into our endless reserve of pessimism and talk about some dark futurology. Let's be real, y'all, it's not looking good out there lately. We talk about some of our biggest fears for the future. Darryl talks the trend of hyper-partisan politics and gives the secret origin of Jesus Christ: microbiologist. Ryan talks automation and his own miserable existence. Phil talks antibiotic resistant bacteria and has no faith in human decency vs. the allure of McNuggets. Sly talks immortality and really "Slys it up" in style. P.S. Ryan would have talked about Climate Change but we did a whole episode on that.
