  • Justin Timberlake Had A Pretty Bad Week (TSOTW - 2/3/2024)

    Justin Timberlake Had A Pretty Bad Week (TSOTW - 2/3/2024)
    Feb 4 2024
    Last week, Britney Spears fans played a prank on Justin Timberlake by streaming her 2011 song "Selfish" after the of a new song under the same name by her former boyfriend. So we use that as the inspiration for this edition of “The Story of The Week,” which doesn’t bring sexy back, but does dig up dirt with Spears, a very ‘selfish’ interruption of Dakota Johnson, and even going way back to Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction in 2004.

  • Matt Gaetz - The Story Of The Week For 1/26/2024

    Matt Gaetz - The Story Of The Week For 1/26/2024
    Jan 27 2024
    This week, the House Ethics Committee investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz has reached out to Joel Greenberg, a one-time close friend of Gaetz who was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges. The Committee also reached out to other new witnesses, much to the disdain of Gaetz. My commentary goes into the basics of the probe, how the investigation may have had a hand in the ousting of Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, and the deluge of our public officials being bad at public officiating and worse at working the TV camera and social media.

    Israel Floods Hamas Tunnels - The Story OfThe Week For 12/16/2023
    Dec 16 2023
    This week, the Israeli forces started testing flooding the Hamas tunnel network with seawater as a new attack tactic, knowing that the move could backfire in the long run as they don't know where the remaining hostages taken on October 7th are located. I am not the most significant resource on international armed conflict, but I am willing to put my signature on the words I put down in this episode.
