Episode Details

Welcome back to Vile And Horrendous. Halloween is approaching and we’re going to do something special for it...details TBD. First though, we had some technical difficulties today and I have thoughts on that, because nothing we’ve been forced to depend on ever works properly. Isn’t that a coincidence.

PSA verdict: bad advice. A guru in Smokey and the Bandit sunglasses tells you to do the bare minimum until your employer pays you what you’re worth. I understand the grievance. I reject the solution. Show up. Do the job nobody wants to do. These clichés are true. Also: I’m fairly certain this man is AI.

From there, You’re Wrong and I have great news. People keep saying there’s no unity left in this country. They’re wrong. We are the most unified we have ever been. You know what’s binding us? Fear. Beautiful, blind, fully focused, all-consuming fear. We are seeking it out. We are truffle pigs rooting around for it. The news is stoking it. The banks are monetizing it. The car industry is selling it back to us with adaptive cruise control and facial recognition software. And Waymo would like you to know their self-driving car exists because everybody should get home safe, not because they want to replace your job and put you in a vehicle they can shut down by the push of a button. Totally different thing. Full safety does exist, by the way. It’s called China. I’ve been.

Then More on Morons goes after dead phrases. “This ain’t it.” “Okay Boomer.” “At least you have your health.” And the current reigning champion of phrases that can go directly to hell: low key. These are all lazy conversation stoppers being used by people who don’t have a point and can’t form one. Say something real or say nothing.

We close with two Pig Talk stories, a guy from Philly who has been opening his neighbors’ misdelivered packages and keeping whatever he wants, and Danny, who needs to know if he’s justified in being upset that his wife flashed her tits at a couple they socialize with regularly. The male pig is in to read. We get to the bottom of both.
