  • So, Are We Buying Guns Now?
    Nov 21 2024

    While Trump is busy casting his cabinet and staff picks with former reality stars, Fox News hosts, sex pests, and even some of America’s Worst Women, Alyssa and Erin are here to keep you posted. They discuss the rights and wrongs of the women Trump picked and question who will even make it to the inauguration. Then they ponder the question on a lot of our minds right now: is it time to buy a gun? Finally, they discuss the ways to prepare mentally and physically for a second Trump presidency without descending into doomsday prepping madness.

The hosts

I love this show, smart, informative, and endlessly entertaining. This podcast got me hooked on other Crooked Media products but Hysteria is still my favorite. As a straight, white man in my 50's living in a very red part of Minnesota, I need content like this to remind me that outside my area. a lot of people are decent and normal.
Thank you
