S6 Ep30: Weekly Skews – PrattFall
1w ago01:00:19Tap to summarizeIt would obviously take a conspiracy to make Spencer Pratt, a well-known failure, fail. We get to the bottom of it. Then, Congress has it’s own CIA? And they’re mostly watching your posts about data centers. Before all that we get to Pete Hegseth declaring Mormonism a cult, which has gone over great in Utah.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Transcribe →S6 Ep29: Weekly Skews – Texas and The Manic Pixie Dream Vegan
2w ago00:59:29Tap to summarizeNigeria has the rare political scandal that would make a fun Disney movie where a candidate turned out to be a literal child. An immature congressman? Can’t have that. Then, we get into the Texas campaign for the U.S. Senate and the tens of millions of dollars worth of mud about to be slung at James Talarico, which so far amounts to “It’s communist to eat meat veganly” and “He has a girlfriend, but queerly.” Trae has an actual job at an office for one week, so Mark is joined by Drew Morgan this week.

3w ago00:59:36Tap to summarizeGood news, your fourth-grader is now free from the federal tyranny that barred them from mango-flavored vapes. We check in on a few primaries and discuss a gubernatorial’s winning gambit of ‘wearing tall socks,’ and an aspiring congresswoman in Texas who had way to much caffeine then talked about Israel. Then, we discuss our seemingly inevitable military action against Cuba for several pretexts we’re in the middle of making up.Weekly Skews is brought to you by Leesa.

Transcribe →S6 Ep27: Weekly Skews – Technically It’s Not a Calf
May 2000:59:02Tap to summarizeKash Patel continues living like a ten-year-old who found a winning lottery ticket. Trump’s supporters debate the strict meaning of “worship” with regards to the golden statue of him they built to take pilgrimages to. Then, we get into Mr. Wonderful’s planet-eating Death Star of a data center project in Utah, the fight against it, and his ability to sniff out all the Chinese A.I. saboteurs who’ve, uh, lived in Box Elder County, Utah, their whole lives.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

May 1300:59:53Tap to summarizeThe government (barely) disclosed (very little) stuff about aliens and you’ll never guess, no one is satisfied. The root cause of all of this does seem to be a government disinformation campaign that no one seems to remember why they did it for. It’s pretty funny. Then, we talk about the practical death of the Voting Rights Act and the mad rush all over the South to gerrymander every state into a sloppy segregationist mess.Weekly Skews is brought to you by Fast Growing Trees.

May 601:00:58Tap to summarizeThe War in Iran has hit a new phase with dolphin troops. Dolphin troops? Support the dolphin troops. Primary season’s in full swing, so let’s talk about Graham Platner becoming the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, the Reddit post controversies, and the shaken state of Dem moderates.

Transcribe →S6 Ep24: BONUS Skews – Flock Off
May 201:00:37Tap to summarizeToday we talk about a guy in Colorado who’s trapped in a time loop movie of unwarranted traffic stops because of Big Computer. It’s a silly anecdote connected to the growing privacy and law enforcement nightmare that is Flock Safety, and how cities and counties across the U.S. have helped set up “Netflix for Stalkers.” Do you want to livestream a child’s gymnastics class in Georgia? Flock is the service for you.This is a special bonus episode of Weekly Skews.

Apr 2901:00:43Tap to summarizeThe Correspondents Dinner assassin that wasn’t, a Washington press freakout over hearing gunshots vaguely in the distance, and whether there’s anyone left in America who hasn’t tried to kill a president. Then we get into the paper thin federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center and the effort to protect the real victim of racism: Donald Trump’s reputation. Also, the funny reactions of Nazis, who want to be very clear: the SPLC are dumb nerds who don’t tell them what to do.Weekly Skews is brought to you by Americans United for Separation of Church and State.If you believe religious freedom is supposed to protect everybody, not be weaponized to turn away good families, visit https://www.au.org/crooked to learn more and become a member today.

S6 Ep22: Good Skews – The Crack in Live Nation's Monopoly (with Devon Léger)
Apr 2500:45:05Tap to summarizeLive Nation's predatory grip on live music is finally cracking — and a homegrown, hyper-local music scene is rising up to take its place. Matt sits down with longtime music publicist and industry expert Devon Léger to talk festival season, why the corporate giants are getting pinched, and how Live Nation's monopoly playbook (own the venues, the artists, the tickets, then jack up prices) is running into real backlash. They get into the surprising forces reshaping the industry — from Gen Z drinking less to indie festivals outlasting the Coachellas of the world — plus how house concerts, co-op venues, and immigrant music scenes are quietly building a more sustainable future for live music. If you're feeling discouraged, Devon's prescription is simple: go to a show.Follow Devon's work: Seattle Picks on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seattlepicks_206 Seattle Picks on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@seattlepicks Hearth Music: https://www.hearthmusic.com KITHFOLK newsletter: https://hearthmusic.substack.comThis episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Apr 2200:59:07Tap to summarizeRFK Jr. “Yeah yeah, we’ll get to the measles outbreaks, but first what’s up with raccoon penis bones?” The FBI director apparently cries at work, but don’t worry, it’s only because he’s blackout drunk. Trump considers giving himself an Iran War medal. Then, we get into the insane goings on with influencers on the right, where the real ones are self-immolating at the same time they’re being replaced by A.I.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.
