occasionallywrong — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:10:05 +0000

Thanksgiving is right on time this year, arriving shortly after our spirits have been broken by the possibility that maybe Bill Cosby is a serial rapist. GOBBLE GOBBLE. Alison Lührs returns to help me figure out what we’re supposed to do when we find out our heroes are total fuck ups. Then we talk about nudie pics. We are pro nudie pics.

occasionallywrong — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 04:16:57 +0000

…and we’re at war again. More thoughts below the podcast link and the funny picture. But we’re back! This week Logan Dean drops by the podcast to talk about America’s war against ISIS.

This is what you get when you type “Hooray for war” into a Google Image Search.

Did you guys notice we’re going to war again suddenly? It’s ok if you didn’t. Because really, it just feels like any other day we’ve had since we first went to war back in 2003 when I was too young to drive. But this is different and it doesn’t seem like anybody is noticing. We are dropping bombs on Syria. We’ve started a new war and it feels like the will to stop it vanished before it ever even materialized.

And funnily enough, the president isn’t allowed to declare war himself. He has to get the approval of Congress, who’s not going to debate or vote on this until January. They’re going to wait until after the election and the lame duck session and then they’ll debate whether or not we should be in a war we’ve already been fighting for over four fucking months. And despite their promise of inaction on any decision-making for the rest of the year, Congressional leadership has signaled intentions to commit ground troops for another invasion.

Can we all please get mad about this? Can we at least start asking our Congresscritters (who all happen to be up for election in about a month) where they stand on this? Maybe they can tell us whether or not they would vote for a new invasion if elected, or what winning this war would even look like. Are any of our Congressmen discussing how much this will cost? Is there a plan to pay for the new war? Or a plan to provide resources to the men and women who will inevitably return home completely fucked up and require healthcare and jobs that we’ve so far done an abysmal job of providing to them?

Guys, we suck at war. It’s terrible for us. We should at least have a fight about this before getting bogged down in a new one.

This week the lovely Stina Hodal joins me to say goodbye to Robin Williams and explore why depression and tragedy are forever linked with comedy.

And then at the end we talk about blind people owning guns and I wind up agreeing with the NRA.

Am I Mad? Episode 26: Surrender Your Shield of Irony (RIP Colbert)

occasionallywrong — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 04:18:23 +0000

Stephen Colbert is giving up existing in a state of irony and I don’t know if my generation can handle it. Henry Birdseye and I mourn the upcoming loss of Colbert’s character; a living improvisation who gave a voice to those of us who deal with the ugly absurdities of the life by laughing at them. Colbert is talented enough to survive without living in sarcasm, but what the hell are the rest of us supposed to do?

Also I’m on Tumblr now. And Heartbleed is scary and important, right? All this and more in this week’s episode.
