Wake Me Up When April Ends (Ep. 13)

  • Summary

  • Boy the poop really hit the propeller for April, didn't it? Poor Travis & Tom induce depression into themselves as they struggle to sum up what the month was - including a constitutional crisis involving due process and deportations, a reckless trade war, an insane man who had literal brain worms trying to get the government to persecute people with autism, and a papal vacancy. And they foolishly tried to do it before the month was over.

    Here are somethings that got left out:

    • Said brain-worm man commissioning a national registry of people with mental disorders (which goes against multiple laws regarding the privacy of medical records) - all while promising an autism cure by September.
    • A Jewish Democratic state governor had his home attacked by an arsonist over the fact that said governor was Jewish under the guise of taking vengeance against Israel's actions in Gaza.
    • Trump wants to give women $5000 for having babies.
    • J.D. Vance broke Ohio State Football's national championship trophy.
