On this episode, we discuss the worst (and ugliest) U.S. president: James Buchanan. A man who saw the Civil War on the horizon and responded, "Meh, that is someone else's problem." A masterclass in pettiness, pissing off your own political party, and other lessons that America has clearly learned. Featuring Alanis Morrissette, a Queer as Folk remake starring 1860s political figures, and more Calls from Craigslist. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

On this episode, Ren shares America's newest record for 2021: the most anti-trans bills ever introduced to state legislatures! From attempts to keep trans kids from playing kickball to keeping them from getting healthcare to forcing teachers to out them to their parents, it's like an all-you-can-eat buffet but entirely made of transphobia. They're just trying to protect the children, y'all! Featuring calls from Craigslist, the worst sandwich ever conceived, and the timeless question: are horses ...

On this episode, we celebrate Pride Month by remembering why cops aren't allowed at Pride. Ginger takes us back to the 1960's, a time of peace, love, and rampant discrimination against LGBT+ folks. All it took was one sh**ty dive bar, a police raid, and a couple of trans women of color who decided that they had had enough. Featuring pizzazz, bad segways, and how Tom Hanks got cancelled.

On this episode, Ginger tells Ren a tale as old as time: about a 6-foot-tall religious lady in the early 1900s taking a hatchet to your local pub. Carry A. Nation was a prohibitionist but without any chill whatsoever, and we thank her wholeheartedly for that. Featuring Goosy Joss, braising politicians, and faking your own death to escape social blunders. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.
May 28, 2021•1 hr 1 min•Season 2Ep. 11
On this episode, we delve into the constitutional fanfiction that is sovereign citizens. Unfortunately, nonsense jargon, legal mad libs, and wacky hijinks are the ridiculous wrapping paper on a truly terrible gift: antisemitism, white supremacy, and domestic terrorism. Featuring bad star wars metaphors, a fire in Ginger's ovaries, and John Cena, the man, the meme, the legend. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.
May 21, 2021•1 hr 2 min•Season 2Ep. 10
On this episode, Ginger tries to squeeze a 12-part PBS docuseries into just one podcast episode. From slave patrols to strike breakers to corrupt political machines to outright violence, the history of American policing proves the old adage: what we learn from history is that no one learns from history. Featuring delivery pizza, more musical numbers, and a debate on what whiteness smells like. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.
May 14, 2021•1 hr 15 min•Season 2Ep. 9
On this episode, Ginger talks about magnets, magnetism, and Franz Mesmer, a man kicked out of Paris for being a pervert. Actually, it was the fact that his medical practice mostly consisted of getting stoned and feeling up ladies, but you get the gist. Add in Marie Antoinette, Amadeus Mozart, and Ben Franklin, and you got a recipe of what we like to call: history is weirder and hornier than you thought. Featuring racist gremlin, Ben Shapiro, wandering uteri, and DJ's Tinder profile. Citations at...
May 07, 2021•57 min•Season 2Ep. 8
On this episode, Ren decides to celebrate Autism Awareness month by talking about a group that hates autistic people, but, don't worry, that feeling is mutual. Autism Speaks is known for the blue puzzle piece, being obsessed with curing autism, and producing films that make autism out to be the bubonic plague and the Zodiac Killer combined. Ableism: the true conspiracy theorist. Featuring the penultimate verse of Mr. Brightside, the menacing aura of the Duolingo owl, and grown men being upset ab...

On this episode, Ginger recalls two wars humans declared on birds and subsequently lost. First, the Emu Wars of Australia, where the military sent two machine guns to wipe out 20,000 birds the size of Tom Cruise with the same energy. And, like a real life cartoon, it goes about the way you expect. Second, the time when Maoist China declared war on sparrows, took it way to seriously, and millions died from starvation. Basically, the moral of the story is don't f*** with birds. Featuring the benef...
Apr 22, 2021•56 min•Season 2Ep. 7
On this episode, Ren and Ginger wonder aloud if the best part of waking up is fascism in your cup. Black Rifle Coffee Company is supposed to sell coffee, but what they really sell is "owning the libs" to guys whose entire personality is "GUNS!" Unfortunately, when you package your product in American flags and assault weapons in order to cater to military LARPers and right-wingers, the other circle in this already terrible Venn Diagram includes mass shooters and Nazis. Triggered, yet? Featuring ...
Apr 08, 2021•1 hr 7 min•Season 2Ep. 6
On this episode, Ginger returns to her roots: true crime, bad science, and sexual predators. We're talking about Richard Gardner, child psychiatrist and man who was definitely subscribed to TheRedPill on Reddit, whose name was recently dropped in HBO's "Allen V. Farrow" docuseries. Gardner was the brain behind "Parental Alienation Syndrome," a thing that is definitely not real but still managed to use in order to ruin lives for decades. This is definitely a Vodka Cranberry (hold the Cranberry) k...
Mar 25, 2021•1 hr 10 min•Season 2Ep. 5
On this episode, Ginger discusses another historic inventor who was weirder (and worse) than you thought. Alexander Graham Bell is well known as an American icon for his invention of the telephone, despite the fact that he was Scottish and lived mostly in Canada. What's less known is his party trick of fisting his dog's mouth, dating and marrying his teenage student, and--oh yeah--all the ableism and eugenics. Happy Deaf History Month! Featuring a Monty Python reference, the ethics of masturbati...
Mar 19, 2021•1 hr 8 min•Season 2Ep. 4
On this episode, Ren talks about the very recent phenomenon of burning down entire ecosystems in order to learn the shape of your unborn child's genitals. Gender reveal parties are only about 10-12 years old, a pre-pubescent sh*tbird that's composed entirely of gender stereotypes and capitalism. But, who cares about undermining the gender binary when there's cake involved, I guess. Mazel tov! Featuring Ren's terrible college roommate, Laverne Cox as our gender guardian angel, and the best compli...

On this episode, Ginger returns to her favorite subject: terminally horny historical figures. Victor Hugo is most well known for 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Le Miserables', two very sad stories that became hugely popular musicals that Ren sings while in the shower. He was also a noted poet, an outspoken statesman, and a giant pervert who kept a secret f*** diary. Truly, la vie boheme. Featuring live bats, all things French (tm), and a world united by the desire to be stepped on by a ten-f...
Feb 20, 2021•1 hr 1 min•Season 2Ep. 2
On this episode, Ren reminds us about the Golden Rule: The Internet doesn't forget and it doesn't forgive. Not-yet-expelled Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green clearly did not learn this lesson. Racist Facebook memes, harassing school shooting survivors, calling on her followers to storm the Capitol back in 2019: it's been a whirlwind for this Crossfit wine mom on her first month at the job. Who knew that calling for the death of your coworkers would come at the performance evaluation? Featuring...

Welcome to the 50th episode of TFNG! As a special treat, Ginger is gonna make this so weird! We're talking intactivists, a very niche corner of the internet, which is claims "No Foreskin, No Peace." Unfortunately, this group also overlaps with men's rights activists, incels, and the other cool internet kids, all with a healthy dose of--what else?--antisemitism. Featuring crusty pasta nipples, clitoris envy, and another term Ginger has to explain to her parents. Citations at thisfnguypod.com....

On this episode, Ren takes us through the worst American Girl book, starring Kelly Lynn Loeffler, a woman who really wants you to forget she owns a castle. From her humble farm girl origins, to her and her husband owning the New York Stock Exchange, all the way to her (thankfully) brief Senate career, this is a story of "More Conservative Than Attila the Hun" Barbie© who won Homecoming Queen seven years in a row and definitely did not support the conspiracy theories that led to a violent insurre...
Jan 22, 2021•1 hr 13 min•Season 1Ep. 49
On this episode, Ginger talks about an event in history that bears no similarity to current events whatsoever. The Wilmington Massacre, also known as the Wilmington Race Riot by people who think "cracker" is just as bad as the n-word, was the only successful coup d'etat in American history (hopefully). To sum up: it's about white people terrorizing black people for things like voting, having jobs, and giving white women all the orgasms they deserve. Featuring Elizabeth from Knoxville, moustache ...
Jan 16, 2021•1 hr 11 min•Season 1Ep. 48
On this latest episode, Ginger tells a tale of a sh*tty law and a sh*ttier court case that would eventually become inspiration for the Nazis. Buck v. Bell all started with this little idea called eugenics and ended up with the decision that anyone considered lesser doesn't get to keep their reproductive organs. Add a little misogyny, mix it up with ableism, never stop shaking it, and presto, you have a truly terrible cocktail. Featuring New Year's Eve parties, a McElroy reference, and much, much...
Jan 08, 2021•56 min•Season 1Ep. 47
It's New Year's Eve and it couldn't have come soon enough! On this latest episode, Ren reminds us all about what even happened in 2020, a true dumpster fire of a year. We're talking murder hornets and bushfires, impeachment trials and criminal convictions, natural disasters and Netflix shows. Most of this episode is just the phrase: "That was THIS year???" Turns out, a lot can happen in 365 days. So, queue this episode up, pour yourself several glasses of champagne, and send off the year 2020 wi...

Happy holidays! On this festive episode, Ginger takes us all the way back to medieval times, where folks celebrated their winter celebrations with turkey legs and torturing peasants on spiked wheels. First, we talk Good King Wenceslas, the dude behind the beloved Christmas carol, its surprisingly bloody end, and forays onto Ancestry.com. Next, we discuss Les Bal des Ardents, a hell of a holiday party involving fire, being on fire, and the subsequent apology tour. Featuring Ren's mom, DJ, and the...

On this episode, Ren reminds us that where there's smoke, there's probably a dumpster fire composed entirely of racists kicked off of Twitter. Parler is a social media platform aimed at conservatives, where the only rules are: no crimes, no bots, and no pottymouths? Anyway, Parler is truly a beacon on the hill crying out: "Give me your antivaxxers, your violent extremists, your huddled masses yearning to scream bigotry, the wretched refuse of the internet shore." And, honestly? You can have 'em....
Dec 11, 2020•57 min•Season 1Ep. 44
On this episode, Ginger recollects on one of the most lauded industrialists and biggest antisemites in American history, Henry Ford. Here's a man who claimed to invent the assembly line, policed his workers' social lives, and was Adolf Hitler's greatest racist inspiration. Truly, an American hero. Featuring mechanophilia, seances for legal advice, and the best Craigslist ad ever written. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.
Nov 22, 2020•1 hr 3 min•Season 1Ep. 43
On this episode, Ginger takes us back to a time in American history where a rich blowhard used his political power to increase his own personal wealth. That's right, back to the 1850's to Boss Tweed, the first and only corrupt politician in America. Featuring cooked books, diamond broaches, and axe-wielding street gangs.

In this latest episode, Ren decides to take us back to one of the first episodes of TFNG and do a full expose on Boo Boo the Fool himself: Jacob Wohl. Young, dumb, and full of commitment to keep doing fraud, Jacob is a far-right troll, conspiracy theorist, and baby man whose schemes include repeatedly making false accusations of sexual assault while using his mom's phone number. Featuring a bad microphone, the E-Trade baby, and Chester the cheetah's sexual energy. Also, a wild Karen dog appears!...

Welcome to our second episode of the official TFNG game show, The Caucasity! We are joined by the illustrious Susie Creamcheese, Ren and Ginger's favorite cat lady and craft wunderkind. Ren and Susie will go head-to-head, trying to figure out how there are so many antisemites, which fascist said what, and why oh why Alex Jones keeps taking his shirt off.

On today's episode, Ginger introduces Ren to a man of morals, a man of faith, a man who said that feminists and gays caused 9/11. Jerry Falwell Sr., the man behind the Moral Majority and Liberty University, left an indelible mark on American society, like a particularly nasty case of shingles, if the shingles were also incredibly racist. Featuring tequila cocktails, the Teletubbies, Ginger's high school hijinks, and an ever-growing list of side characters. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

We've decided to take a break from our weekly game of Rightwing Bull***t to become what all podcasts strive to be: a true crime podcast. Faith. Betrayal. Sex. Murder. On this week's Drag 'Em Race, the true story about Flordelis de Souza, full-time saint, part time cult leader, mother to 55 children, married to only one of those children. This queen truly slays the competition, and that's because she literally murdered her husband. Start your engines, and may the best woman get arrested for heino...

On this very special episode, we are joined by Ren and Ginger's collective husbands on a game show of "Which terrible person said this terrible thing?" Including such icons like Ronald Reagan, Phyllis Schlafly, Donald Trump, and a lot of jokes about how many dumb motherf***ers run our country. Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

Ginger takes Ren on a journey into the world of child trafficking, which surprisingly has nothing to do with satanic cabals or online furniture outlets. Georgia Tann was a strong lady boss back when there weren't very many lady bosses. Too bad her business was an adoption racket that went on for more than a decade. We're talking conning families, destroying records, straight up kidnapping, and going door-to-door to sell kids like they were vacuums. The 1940's was a weird time, folks. Citations a...
