  • #248: Springsteen Rhymes Minneapolis With Bloody Mist or If We Didn’t Laugh, We’d Be Sobbing All The Time
    Feb 10 2026

    This week, explain if we didn’t laugh we’d be sobbing all the time. New segment: What did the government do to radicalize you or activate the resistance this week? Coming to you straight from Minneapolis. Amy’s arch nemesis Bovino got fired by the administration in shame from his job depriving people of their constitutional rights. Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine fame came to town to give a protest concert at First Avenue with secret special guest The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. Amy and Maya didn’t get tickets. Maya explains the bizarre dual worlds they are living in. The Boss wrote a song for Minneapolis celebrating the resistance. P.S. Minneapolis is an impossible word to rhyme and that’s why you don’t hear a lot of songs about this town. Maya drives through an ICE operation, looses hope, then gets a great message from a friend. Local journalist Georgia Fort and national newsmaker Don Lemon are arrested for journalism. First amendment much? Maya has fond middle school memories of Habeas Corpus. Can we just go back to being fly-over country. Our favorite resistance song this week is about how someone in the administration is a “Bird-legged Ho”. Apparently, kids don’t drink out of the hose anymore. Maya reviews The Wrecking Crew starring friendly hunks Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. Maya reviews Predator: Badlands. Amy explains a very specific Bad Bunny dance.
