As Elon begins taking over Twitter and making some much-needed changes, furries are big mad at what is going on behind the scenes. What actually are they mad about? And are the different changes bringing down Twitter as a whole? Also Balenciaga is going very, very creepy with their latest photo shoot that is actually landing the fashion house into some very hot water. Suddenly they're jumping off the Twitter ship, and clearing out their Instagram too! What is happening, and why is it happening? Lifty and Tex go over it all, and throughout this episode they insist that you do one thing: pay attention!
It seems like the highly propagandized "Red Tsunami" that was supposed to wash all across the country on Election Day didn't happen. So what did end up happening? Voters, oddly enough, voted for more of the same. While Texas and Florida became more conservative, other states did not. Pennsylvania, though, became one of the most bizarre cases ever when a portion of their population overwhelmingly voted not just for a stroke victim to represent them in the Senate, but for a dead guy to represent them in their State Capitol! And why the hell are voting machines breaking down and the vote counts going so slow in some states and not others on Election Day? Lifty and Tex try and figure it all out this week as we go over what happened and how it impacts the furry community.
Oh, and there are 6 Twitter Twats of the Week this week. Because there's always someone saying some dumb shit when politics are involved. And furries and politics never mix well.
It's the final weekend before the Midterm Elections, and Unleashed brings back Salohcin to discuss the key topics that are affecting everyone- from inflation to schools, social media to the Ukraine conflict, Lifty, Tex, and Salohcin cover it all. Plus - a further look into some of the most widely watched races in America. It's a great overview before the election on November 8, so listen and VOTE!
Lifty and Tex are joined on this episode by BBQ Skunk and Parker Hyena of the Higher Mammals Podcast to talk about the big news: Elon Musk has taken over Twitter! How will the furries react (or overreact) to Elon removing the content moderators? Will furries be migrating off Twitter? What's the big deal with free speech? Plus, we discuss furry documentaries and why they all seem to be saying the same thing.
What's old is new again, and after nearly a year to the day Ripley Violet Tempest Storm clumsily tried to accuse BLFC and the Grand Sierra Resort of transphobia, Rioley is back to wreak havoc again on an unsuspecting furry event. This time, the shenanigans are captured on a viral video! There's hitting, bad language, and over-the-top outbursts, and it does not fail to elicit lots of laughs from Lifty and Tex as they go over what happened in San Jose that weekend. Plus, the hosts introduce a new segment: the Twitter Twat of the Week!
Lifty & Tex wrap up their discussion on the new MFF mandates with a mind-blowing new admission by Pfizer's own executive. It leaves the hosts in total disbelief! More bad news continue to flood the internet about this vaccine, and so many people would rather want to leave you in the dark and make you believe bad information than to just return to normal. This episode blows the lid off what we've been told about the vaccine, past and present, and why you need to be even more careful about what you're being told.
In Part 2, Lifty and Tex invite Kini the Fox for an explosive interview where he explains the soulless response he got from MFF regarding his vaccine status, and how that upended his and his friend's plans to attend the convention. The fandom has adopted a cult-like mentality towards vaccines, and we go over why this may be a very bad idea, and why all of the COVID protocols may be based on nonsense.
Midwest Furfest just revealed their most punishing COVID-19 policy yet, and it's cruel. Not only are vaccines required, but so are boosters, masks under your fursuit, even after you've had an asthma attack! They've shown that they no longer care about you, and in this first part of a 3-part series, Lifty and Tex are going to tear them a new one over it.
Thanks to Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act, a new hubbub has begun in furry circles about a specific word that starts with G and rhymes with "boomer." It's been deemed a slur against the LGBT community and likewise banned on Reddit and Twitter. Even a certain activist organization with the word in their name has been banned on Twitter 4 times because of it.
What is it? And should it be considered a slur? Lifty and Tex discuss the behavior behind that peculiar G-word, and why it's counterproductive to continue to think it's a slur.
The good news is, the CDC has finally vindicated most of you who believed in personally assessing risk, taking precautions for yourself from catching the coronavirus, and believing in the power of natural immunity. The COVID emergency is finally confirmed to be over, and their new guidelines have stated as much even if they're a year behind their usefulness. But unfortunately, if you thought the freakout over a virus was over in the furry fandom, you are sorely mistaken. There's a new virus in town, and the fearmongering over it has already begun. Lifty and Tex go over what has been mentioned about monkeypox, including a bizarre and disgusting study about a dog catching it! Plus: simple steps you can take to prevent getting the pox yourself.
Most furries want conventions to succeed, especially conventions that are new and take place near them. And they do a lot to show that support, from tweeting about them to spending thousands for the most perk-laden packages. Unfortunately, this episode is not about that. In fact, this episode discusses one convention that most furries actually wanted to fail.
In this podcast, Lifty and Tex talk about this one brand-new Midwest convention that most furries did not want to support, and special guest Buddy (Twitter.com/BuddyDaBearr) goes over his experience there, and what most people got wrong about this event.
Lots of furry establishments are being cannibalized by the relentless fury of woke furry leftists. First it was Barq on the chopping block, now not even Anthrocon and Denfur are safe! Who's next to be targeted, and what can be done about it? The hosts go over it all on this week's episode.
Furry groups have changed dramatically, and often these changes are not for the best. Much like the missing stair analogy, furry con chairs, admins, and other furry influencers have become increasingly selective on what issues and behaviors demand their attention, and which ones do not. Salohcin joins the Unleashed hosts Lifty and Tex to talk about these changes, and how it reflects on the furry fandom as a whole.
On this week's podcast, Sappho's world is collapsing as she becomes more and more disgusting. She "came out" as a MAP (minor-attracted pedo), then when she got banned from Twitter not once but TWICE, she created a Mastodon instance to interact with kids more, and sexually! Nevertheless her bizarre behavior has at least tipped off the Feds. Meanwhile, Toggle the Rat tries to wash his hands of Sappho, but Lifty's not letting him off the hook!
On this week's podcast, furries are back to panicking about the newest COVID variant, and urging con chairs to insist on vaccine mandates at conventions. But is there anything to panic about? Lifty explains why much of the reaction over the Omicron variant may be more premature overreacting to push for more endless mandates.
On tonight's podcast, Lifty has a few choice words for MFF 2021. Topics include a bizarre vaccine mandate, the controversy surrounding recording two voyeuristic people having sex in their hotel room, and Sappho not only being there, but actually being a more disgusting psychopath than we ever thought she'd be.
This week, it's the start of the Season for Giving! But for some in the furry fandom, it's the Season for Grifting! Meet two long-time furry scammers, Pibbleking and Lou Gagliardi, as Lifty explores their past attempts to fleece money from the fandom (and others) and gives advice on how to avoid giving your money to them.
On this week's episode, Sappho is back on her bullshit, and this time she's doubling down! She's announced she and other zoophiles are starting a new zoophile advocacy group! Even worse, she and her merry band of misfit furs are targeting children! And what are we hearing from the furry media outlets about this? Crickets.
On this week's episode, Lifty goes over the history of color communication badges at conventions after MFF announced they would implement the badges as well. He also chastises those who can't take a joke in context and insists that the fandom stop trying to correct jokes and humor that certain others would perceive in bad taste.
On this week's episode, Lifty goes over one furry that is being raked through the coals for creating a cult of personality - and one you have to pay for! Plus, ManedWolfy is back, and he's gonna recreate his culinary biohazard at Midwest Furfest. And he's looking for even more furries to join in his disgusting debauchery!
NOTE: Due to Sunday's hiatus, this episode is uploaded on Thursday, Nov. 11. New episodes will drop at their normal time.
