Episode Summary



Tim kicks off the week with a fresh Mead Skelton meltdown (now blaming “lemon water” and demons for his colitis and rapid weight loss), a substitute teacher who vlogged her first—and last—day on the job, a doorman vs. tenant blow-up caught on camera, a MAGA streamer screaming into a megaphone no one can understand, and Florida’s latest neighborhood crisis: pole-dancing skeletons. Plus: a DV listener sponsor whose new book asks you to root for a serial killer who targets porch pirates.

Today’s Menu




* Cold Open: “The Struggles of a Tranny” (archival Yeast Radio guest clip sent by Madge Weinstein)



* Mead Skelton Health & Diet Update:

* Claims lemon water (left out for days) + demons caused an ER trip and “colitis.”



* Talks GERD/vagus nerve; Tim counters the medical nonsense and notes the obvious: when the sickness fades, the donuts return.



* Repents for gluttony (again), credits prayer (again), and rewrites COVID history (again).





* Education Is in Trouble (Exhibit A):

* Lesbian sub films students and herself all day for TikTok (Skittles & Gatorade “teacher breakfast,” band parade, thirsting over a student on camera), says she “lets them do whatever they want.” Fired the same day.



* Reddit teacher chimes in: districts are desperate for subs; “pulse + clean record = hired.”





* Lobby Meltdown:

* Tenant storms a building, calls the doorman “retard,” threatens to kill him, smashes his phone—yet cops also charge the doorman. Tim sides with Team Doorman and wants case updates.





* MAGA Streamer vs. Volume Knob:

* Pro-ICE rally guy beefs with police over noise; delivers word-salad through a megaphone (decodes to: “MAGA,” “libtard,” and “butthole”).





* Linda Finkel Hall of Fame Nominee:

* Lil Bougie and his Publix-parking-lot anthems (“ran through, pussy bald, yes I call her Caillou”). Disgusting, profane—and undeniably catchy.










Quick Hits / News Nibbles




* “North” Mexico: A syringe-in-toilet Walmart scare in northern New Mexico (pink liquid, inconclusive tests). Tim’s skeptical this was anything more than urban-legend cosplay.



* Florida, You Beautiful Mess:

* Pole-Dancing Skeletons Halloween display sparks HOA pearl-clutching. No nudity, no rule violations; neighbors divided between “harmless fun” and “think of the children.”
