Hi. In today's episode, we analyze the accusation that THE LEFT is grooming children by injecting gender ideology into schools and putting disgusting things like rainbows on shirts. We also look at the actual definition of "grooming" and ask ourselves what group in the U.S. appears to fit that definition.

Hi. "Some More News" head writer Dave Bell is IN THE STUDIO today with Katy and Cody to talk about Donald Trump (he used to be the president) being indicted for a whole bunch of crimes. They discuss Trump's excuses for why taking sensitive documents and then lying about it isn't a big deal, how the GOP presidential candidates are playing it, and, of course, DS9.
Note: We had a few audio issues as this was our first in-studio episode in several years. You'll hear some voice echoes at tim...

Hi. In today's episode, Cody and Katy discover they have psychic powers, based on all the various news stories they totally saw coming.

Hi. In today's episode, we look at how credit scoring bureaus were originally created to track debt (among other things) in America, how they've evolved into a bad-faith tactic for the rich to exert control over poor people, and how we need to revamp the entire system so we're not using an arbitrary number to evaluate a person's worth. A human being's worth not being tied to money? Imagine that!
