We have heard the baseless cries of 'you are going to kill someone' way too often
Today Alexander and Tony discuss the latest news in UPS-Teamster negotiations, the company's insulting economic proposal for its employees, and a potential strike Also: an aggrieved hardcore fan calls out legendary Boston band Bane for the singer's pro-trans and anti-american speech at a recent show. Is hardcore really the place for politics? Finally, we discuss the billionaire death sub, the awe-inspiring hubris that caused the disaster, and a stepson who enjoyed posting too much Music: The Coup - 5 Million Ways to Kill A CEO Bane - Some Came Running, Hoods Up Isis - Weight Get two bonus episodes every week for only $5/month by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult

"'Debate bros' are following the scientific method more stringently than faux-intellectuals" (preview)
It's a jam-packed episode today as we listen to Florida republicans pass a harsh new anti-immigrant bill and then beg the undocumented people in their community to continue working on their farms. Also, a stewardess for an Irish airlines puts Israeli passengers' lives in peril when she says the P word over the intercom, and we look at some truly oblivious zionist clapbacks Plus: the "debate me" craze reaches a fever pitch, as debate fans seek out a scientist they want to see owned on Joe Rogan--and for the scientific community to acknowledge the vital step they represent in the scientific method Finally, a man from the Chicago suburbs shoots himself in his sleep while dreaming about a home invasion, and a gun rights advocate explains how safe it normally is to sleep with your gun.

Streaming companies appreciate the value of writing. We do. But we will pay the absolute minimum we can
Today we watch Trump offer “food for everyone” at a restaurant before immediately leaving, and hear from a Fact Checker to see if the former president would really welch on a payment AND an interview with an anonymous Apple TV + executive reveals how important writers are to streaming companies—but how paying them better wages or allowing organized labor to succeed is antithetical to their core values (accumulating wealth). And FINALLY an office furniture company teams up with the Daily Mail to show us how working from home will turn our descendants into twisted monsters. Can we go back to the office already please??

A Tale of Unwanted Disruption: My Week Without Amazon (preview)
Today we're talking Alex's bad back and scheduling days off work for physical therapy while your boss pretends he has a say in the matter and the Teamsters announce securing Air Conditioning for future UPS package cars. We talk about the merits, possible drawbacks, and address a few of the imaginative responses to this big step towards addressing safety concerns Also: we study the weird, tan, Canadian, "Motel 6 CEO" grandpa who accused a 9 year old girl of being trans during a track meet. Turns out his son (Motel 6 CFO) is also extremely weird Finally, in a story promoted in right wing media as "Amazon locks man out of his smart home after accusing him of racism," we check out the medium post of a smart-device-junkie whose amazon account was briefly suspended. So he couldn't turn on his TV or his lights with his voice I guess. This is what they want to take from you.

As a person who played all Zelda games, including the original in the gold cassette, Link is not Trans (preview)
Today we host a living funeral for the modern man who is forced to go to his well-paying job and come home for lunch to play with his dog but there's sad music playing over it. We can't help but wonder if he wouldn't be happier having his limbs sawed off on the battlefield or perhaps living a more traditional agrarian lifestyle (eating breastmilk ice cream) ALSO: Fox Business transvestigates the new Zelda game to find out if trans people can identify with its protagonist (no!)

The left is using our anger to bankrupt American companies. Something to think about
This week we follow up on the Beach Teen Marine Massacre with a shocking revelation: The Marines were lying? And sharing alcohol with minors? and trying to kidnap blacked-out 14 year-olds?? Imagine our shock. Plus: Texas drivers are named worst in the country, and Texans explain why (the reckless drivers are all New York and California transplants!) and we learn about the REAL driving hazards: pedestrians, cyclists, and skateboarders And finally, the unthinkable has happened: Chick-Fil-A has gone woke. We examine the fascinating ways conservatives are processing this unique turn in the culture war Sign up for weekly bonus episodes at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult Music: Kyuss - 100 Degrees Pell Mell - Saucer

We told them we were Marines so they would leave - but they didn't. (preview)
This week we have the smug, liberal grins wiped off our faces as we learn how the filming of Nefarious was beset by demons, and we develop some of our own theories about the paranormally-inept film production and we learn about the different ways to make people mad while observing Memorial day, including the large group of beach teens who beat up three marines Sign up for the full episode and hundreds more for only $5/mo at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult
