089 - Is America the Bad Guy?

Jimmy and Alyssa go from video game brain rot to full political chaos in this episode. Jimmy explains how the new Pokopia game is basically Pokémon‑meets‑Animal Crossing‑meets‑Minecraft and is perfectly designed to destroy years of ADHD progress, while Alyssa talks about why she can’t risk losing her attention span to another hyper‑fixation.​

They dive into Kristi “Crusty Gnome” Noem’s disastrous hearing, taxpayer‑funded luxury jets, the weird “Shield of the Americas” promotion, and Markwayne “jacked thumb” Mullin stepping in as Trump’s new loyalist. They also unpack U.S. airstrikes, bombed schools, and the sinking realization that “we might actually be the bad guys.”​

Jimmy then retells a wild live caller named Tony who starts polite, pivots to “have you served in the military?”, and ends in a full meltdown about Iran, 9/11, liberals, and trans people after Jimmy calmly pushes back. Alyssa and Jimmy break down toxic patriotism, weaponized anger, and why some guys completely disintegrate when you don’t treat their service like a trump card.​

On the personal side, they get into sleep schedules, dog‑parent life, and a big tattoo debate: Jimmy’s “tattoos are colorful scars and ruin nudity” take versus Alyssa proudly defending being a tattooed person and loving flash and matching tattoos. Plus: “Fuck Your Birthday” merch, inside jokes, and Patreon/Discord chaos.​

If you like political commentary, unhinged caller stories, neurodivergent brain talk, and messy tattoo discourse, this one’s for you.​
