Manage episode 509268597 series 3640142
Join Jimmy Snow and Alyssa as they dive deep into the week's most controversial stories that mainstream media won't touch. This episode covers the shocking Mormon chapel shooting in Michigan that revealed uncomfortable truths about political violence, media bias, and religious identity in America. When the shooter turned out to be MAGA instead of trans or leftist, watch how quickly the narrative changed and coverage disappeared.
Jimmy opens up about his complex relationship with Mormon identity, explaining why he's dropping the "ex-Mormon" label and what that means for cult survivors everywhere. The hosts dissect the dangerous pattern of right-wing political violence being dismissed as "lone wolf" incidents while targeted attacks on marginalized communities get blamed on entire movements.
The conversation takes a wild turn into reality TV analysis as Alyssa reveals inside information about Netflix's controversial show "Inside" and the manipulation tactics used by contestants she personally knows. Learn the shocking truth about how reality shows cast people of color specifically for villain roles and the psychological toll it takes.
Plus: Trump's mysterious $20 billion Argentina bailout, high school reunion psychology, the evolution of masculinity and male friendships throughout history, and dating stories that predicted sexuality revelations. Jimmy and Alyssa explore everything from Abraham Lincoln's possible queerness to modern gaydar accuracy.
