Supersized Wiretap:We defend Hillary, divulge our sources, and cover the election

The brothers start out this episode discussing Rush Limbaugh vs Trump and Trump supporters. In a rare moment for the podcast the brothers defended Hillary from this week’s early headlines.

Then they broke down Snopes reporting and the guys disagreed on how the go-to site for debunking bunk on the internet should handle obvious jokes.

They round out the show by breaking down where they get their news from.

Gun gets yelled at, Tech goes conspiracy theory ma

The rage culture is ruining the internet. Gun gets raged at on a forum. The Internet seems to be where polite discourse goes to die. The brothers discuss Rubio bowing out of the race and the possibility of Cruz and Rubio joining up like a Trump destroying Voltron.

Tech comes up with his own conspiracy theory about Trump intentionally throwing the election.

Trump having interests in 500 companies would be an ethical concern for a president, fortunately for Trump he so far seems unencumbered by those annoying things.

Here is the video that Gun mentioned:

How you get viruses and spam, Obama goes to SXSW, Clinton vs Clinton

Spammers blur the line between human and machine.Gun interacts with a spammer, Tech explains how the conversation works, and how most people get viruses. They move from there into politics. Neither of them appreciate how America is spending military funds and resources, but they don’t agree on the what and how the military should be run.

Gun reminds us that we can verbally abuse spammers without being culturally insensitive. Obama skips out on attending Nancy Reagan’s funeral to hang out with the cool kids at South by Southwest. One brother is cool with that, the other is conflicted.

#BLACKLIVESMATTER Protesters Occupy Wall St. in support of Trump

Tech was a bit subdued because he’d been battling a new computer virus all day so Gun rolled with the news. Carson was out, Gun’s vote wasn’t enough to keep him in the race. They break down Trump’s goofy stance on his KKK nomination.

podcast

Purple State Mini-Podcast: Vote for or against?

Gun talks out primary voting in a battle ground state with author Brian Sanchez (The AAAR, Ushumenti) and whether to vote for a candidate you like or vote against a candidate you don’t. It’s a great conversation! Brian is a fount of wisdom on the subject and a fresh perspective.

Episode 78: Apple vs FBI, Gun defends Hilary from Tech, and Kanye for Prez in 2020

This episode has it all. Gun Sully is back from his world tour, rested and ready to roll, but in the middle of a deluge. Tech Sully is fired up. He is enraged about Trump and Obama pushing for Apple to weaken the security on their devices.

Later Gun defends Hillary from Tech’s rant, and the brothers round out the episode talking about how Kanye’s lyrics are at least as defensible as anything from the grunge era. Tech raves about the track “Famous” from the new album, and pledges to be Kanye’s 2020 campaign manager.

That said I don’t think either brother believes that Taylor Swift is famous because of Kanye at all.
