October Surprise

Here's my special birthday edition of the Funcast and boy, did I get a lot of gifts this year. First, there was a huge Trump rally at MSG on my actual birthday, then there was a whole news cycle complaining about a roast comic bombing in his set, then Joe Biden called either the comedian or all Trump supporters garbage. That was all in one week! Also, Israel is still bombing Iran. Let's dive in!

Trump’s In, Biden’s Out and Harris is the New Hillary

A lot happened this month. Trump was almost assassinated, Biden finally realized where he was and why he shouldn't stay there, the mainstream media crowned a new un-Democratic nominee, the largest global IT outage ever fucked up a lot of people's days and more. Let's discuss!

 

ANNOUNCEMENT: As much as it pains me to do this, I will no longer pay to host the Funcast on Podbean starting in January of 2025. I've had it here since 2013. Then I will make it available on YouTube. So listen to all the episodes while they're still archived. Thanks again for being so cool and listening for 11+ years.
