Episode 571: Trump Cashes In

Idiots On Parade, the Too Ugly for TV Podcast

This week, Lisa David Olsen joins the idiots to mock all that’s in the news.

00:00 Welcome!

00:56 Iran vs. Israel

03:33 Trump Owns Republican Party

13:17 Trump media

18:37 Maxwell Azzarello

25:50 Jesus vs. LGBTQ

29:29 Breakdancing in the Olympics

The breakdown:

—Last week, nathan said it looked like Iran’s “show of force” against Israel was all image, and BOOM! He was right. Iran launched their missiles, then said, “We showed them!”

Of course, Israel had to respond to that, because apparently you can’t just take a W in the Middle East, so now we’re kinda in a holding pattern.

—This is delicious… The Trump campaign now says that any Republican candidate who runs on Trump’s name… HAS TO PAY ROYALTIES TO THE DONALD.

Honestly, we’re stunned he didn’t think of this sooner. It is genius, though. Donald Trump is the name, the face, the everything of the Republican Party, so if you want to associate with him, you should have to give a little kickback to the Donfather.

Side conversations in this segment include Arizona’s new abortion law, and how Democrats win in Alabama.

—Sure, the stock price of Trump Social (or Truth Social or whatever it is) lost over half its value since being released… but why would Donald care about that? It’s all found money to him. Sure, stupid investors are losing their butts, but that’s just hilarious. Oh, you trusted a Trump business? Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Casino, and Trump Airline didn’t give you a heads up as to how all Trump businesses do?

Still, when you’re starting with zero, anything above that is a win.

So, Trump is technically kicking ass, because it’s all found money.

Side conversations here include My Pillow Guy Michael J. Lindell, and his ability to draw more crowds as a speaker than many celebrities.

—The best headline I saw regarding conspiracy theorist nutbag Maxwell Azzarello was, “Florida Man Lights Self on Fire.” They had to throw in the Florida part, and God bless them for it. His manifesto showed such a unique brand of crazy, it’s not to be believed.

—Churches everywhere are losing members, and more and more often, it’s because they hold antiquated, idiotic views regarding gay people. What does that cost them? Money. A new article showed a breakdown of spending by a Methodist gathering, and funds are dipping.

—The Olympics have their finger on the pulse! They are in touch with the zeitgeist. They are allowing breakdancing, which was big in the 1980s, to be a part of the modern games.

Well done, Olympics!
