626. ILLEGAL SHIFT: Dreams Die For NFL Players

Across the NFL, teams have made final cuts. Now players training hard all summer got no place else to go. Maybe the New York Jets. For the Dallas Cowboys, Trey Lance's five interceptions markup Dak Prescott's price tag, but wide receiver CeeDee Lamb just got paid. The NFL's ownership just all voted to allow private equity investors to pump more money into the league-- guess there's nothing to worry about with that lawsuit. Budweiser is pushing out college team cans, but we're here to remind you ...

625. LAST CALL: What The Fuck, Zuck?!

CNN cut off live coverage of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr's remarks right the moment he pointed out that Kamala Harris has not sat had a single interview since she became the Democratic presidential nominee-- another example of the media covering up for itself and their politician of choice. Tulsi Gabbard just joined Trump's team-- a former Democrat congresswoman and veteran. She ran for President as a D in 2020 but then bailed on the party altogether, and now she's in...

624. UNCUFFED: Is Marriage Overrated?

Eric and Jay will wax philosophical about the tangible and practical benefits of our most sacred institution-- how has marriages changed from sacrament to contract over the many thousand years, and what interest does the state have in it's preservation? To the cynic, control and taxation but traditionalists say it's the foundational core of the nuclear family, which poses the largest threat to the power of the state. And what of the rights of women?

623. BREAKDOWN: Daniel Saavedra-Arreola Shot By Police

Daniel Saavedra-Arreola was hiding from Albuquerque Police this past January in a vacant building. Officers found him inside a closet, and he came out swinging a knife and a pipe.

Police officers knew a suspect was there-- they are seen on cameras calling out for him in the apartment, his exact location unknown, to show himself and surrender peaceably. An officer was almost injured, and a taser was deployed before more l...

629. ILLEGAL SHIFT: Shocking Exposure: Tua Outs NFL's 'Terrible Person'

Fins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took time out of his busy schedule to address something really important: his ex-coach Brian Flores is a really terrible person. However you might have guessed that some terrible people had reached levels of power and influence in an organization like the NFL, so what's what's the controversy? Also, did Gosder Cherilus, ex-Lions lineman pee on a guy? During an airplane flight? Let's hear his side of it, it has to be good. Minshew Mania continues in the desert, Ran...

628. LAST CALL: Is RFK Jr Jumping On The Trump Train?

Build The Wall! Democrats realize the only way they can keep themselves save from the wave of non documented travelling human beings who have come up to Chicago, and others who are criticizing the US' involvement in V̶i̶e̶t̶n̶a̶m̶ Gaza, is to build a big damn wall to keep them out. Can Trump capitalize on this irony? RFK Jr-- constantly ostracized by mainstream Democrats, including his own illustrious family-- may be changing tactics to throw his support behind Trump.

627. UNCUFFED: Ozempic Deniers: Why Celebrities Are Lying About Diabetes Meds

What is Ozempic-- is it the new steroids? The injectable med for Type II diabetes is being abused for weight loss purposes. But since it's only what's on the outside of a celebrity that matters, shouldn't they be doing everything they can? You've seen the Raygun breakdancing memes everywhere-- is it justifiable shaming or has it crossed into bullying? Mike Tyson and social media influencer Jake Paul prepare to do batle-- will Tyson orphan Paul's children (assuming their mother dies of grief)? La...

624. LAST CALL: The British Are Coming For American Memesters

London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said in an interview that London police would extradite and jail Americans for online posts about riots in the UK. Apparently the redcoats are in a snit about false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event that left three girls dead and others wounded. Their suspect is someone who immigrated to the UK-- so for Merry Ol' England it's a crisis of national identity, politic...

Florida cops had a run in with a man in a wheelchair who was not above the petty offense of ramming police with his hover-round.

The Presidential Candidate no one asked for has picked for the running mate no one asked for. Governor Tim Walz, one of the masterminds who has brought Minnesota to its knees will be on the ticket. In 2020, he failed to call the National Guard to quell the riots that destroyed businesses, grocery stores, and affordable housing developments-- because didn't want to offend those screaming to "defund the police". His leadership saw police precincts and cities burn with zero consequences for rioters...

Eric and Jay are in here for some live comedy. The Olympics are a mess, but they sure are making a lot of money, and that is all that matters, right? Are church weddings a scam? God is everywhere, after all, right? There seems to be a huge Anti-Christian movement in America, but is this something new? Seems like the ancient Romans were pretty anti-Christian as well. Finally, the question we all need to know the answer to: is Kamala Harris, your democratic candidate for President, black enough? J...

It was the opening ceremonies to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and it was the most tasteless boundary pushing thing the woke left has forced on decent people yet.
