We're down to the final two (planned) episodes of the Insanity Check. For this episode I'm joined by Justin from 3FifsPodcast and we're able to breathe a sigh of relief because Joe Biden pulled it off and beat Trump in the 2020 election. Sure, we know this isn't going to solve everything, but not having a dictator-wannabe in office is a huge improvement.  Topics: Biden & Trump got the most votes in history because this was the most accessible general election ever Joe Biden ran a helluva campaign We feel some kind of way about all the "two sides of the same coin" and "I just can't vote for Hillary" folks that all the sudden voted for Biden *cough* Marc Lamont Hill *cough* AOC made valid points about moderate Dems  Dems don't need to "win back" white working class voters...they only need 40-42% The war against facts and truth is being lost The Trump campaign really went out like some losers...in the parking lot of a landscaping company  Kimberly Guilfoyle offered lap dances to fundraisers who offered

We're only 3 episodes away from the end of the Insanity Check. It's more real now as I type that. Add in the fact that we recorded this episode only a few days before election night 2020 and well, there's a lot of anxiety going on. So I decided that for this episode, I'd take the Insanity Check back to its roots: Covering crazy news. This week I'm joined by Aaron from the Black Astronauts Podcast and let's just say...we have some fun. First, Four Loko is back with shots. Still no caffeine but what's the worst that could happen? Then there's the used condom reseller in Vietnam and apparently monkey slave labor in Thailand. Like I said, we're getting back to the roots fo the Insanity Check. We still cover some politics because obviously there's no way to avoid it. We talk about the insane way CNBC defines "struggling" for those families making over $400k and the coo...I mean...black men supporting Trump.  Topics: Four Loko is back with shots Costco takes a stand against monkey slave labor Someone was resell

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this month's dose of insanity in the world. This month is a little  bit different. 2020 might have finally broken Kriss. This was going to be a solo show but Ro manipula...convinced, Kriss to instead use this show to talk about the new documentary "All In: The Fight For Democracy". Of course this just made things worse (but better for you all). We spend most of this episode talking about that documentary and the fucked up history of this country being really good at violating people's (namely Black & Brown people) civil rights.

We're still here. Somehow. 2020 has been kicking all of our asses and we're still only in the 4th round. Each month feels like it's own year. It's been a month since the last Insanity Check and so much has changed. Bernie Sanders is not only out of the race for the Democratic Nomination but he quickly endorsed Joe Biden, the US leads in Coronavirus cases AND Deaths (USA,  USA, USA), Trump isn't the dumbest sitting republican in office (its tough to top asking if ppl can inject disinfectants to kill the virus but some people have) and so much more. Kriss is joined by Dpalm for this episode so strap in. Topics: What could  possibly  happen in a month? Didn't know we  had to say this but: Please don't drink bleach cause of Donald Trump No, protesting Stay At Home Orders doesn't make you Rosa Parks White people need natural predators so they know  what real oppression is like New Segment (special for only Dpalm): THAT'S SO GEORGIA Governor Kemp didn't know asymptomatic people could spread coronavirus The

What a difference a month makes. Joe Biden goes from dead in the water in the Democratic Primary to being the Presumptive Nominee, the Coronavirus pandemic has whole states on quarantine and locusts....yes...locusts. Don't know who the writers are for this finale season of 'Earth' but it's beginning to be a bit unbelievable and lose the plot here. Need them to get their shit together. Topics: As if Covid-19 wasn't enough, countries in Africa are dealing with millions of locusts New 'Shelter-in-Place' orders for some states Stay your ass home: Young people gonna be the death of all of us Remember when Trump said this was all a hoax? Dear Media: Stop trying to give Trump 'soft ball questions' Bernie blew a 3-1 lead in the primary The NYT and Buzzfeed look at where Bernie went wrong (it's not a shock) Celebrities Being Stupid During a Pandemic Brie Larson is the only leading white lady in Marvel not crazy.
