Kill The Computer

Ed Zitron continues our talk from our previous episode together. Afterwards, we continue the worst post of the year bracket. Subscribe at www.Patreon.com/WesternKabuki for the full episode!

We're joined by Harvard attorney, human trafficking expert, & media person Alejandra Caraballo. We discuss Andrew Tate's feud with Greta, pizza box mishaps, and more. We tried our best to bring some levity to the discussion, but be warned: if you're unfamiliar with the source material, it's depressing.

The dark mistress of journalism pirouettes into our digital studio to discuss her newest story on everyone's favorite liar. We also discuss the discourse and complete the Ableism/Problematic region of the worst posts of 2022 bracket.   This one's got it all. I promise your grandma will call you instead of complaining that you never call her after you download this. This episode is a gift from Krampus and he's usually pretty stingy. All claims made in podcast descriptions are provably false. I am your real father.    Follow them all: Taylor Lorenz Bird Respecter Juniper Whack Nicholson

Caleb wanted to call this episode "Milk Crimes" and that bodes well for his title naming talents, but Phase 2 is here now and you need to be made aware.   Phase Two of Western Kabuki is here. We say goodbye to Nicolas Cage (for now) and hello to our new co-host, Pulitzer prize winning NYT columnist Juniper.   We then tease Bird's upcoming interview with the infamous Cybersmith, discuss the politics of Star Wars, Nazi-furs, Andrew Tate’s influence on schools, and more.   We have a mailbag: leave us a voicemail or text us at (971) 374-2265.   Follow us at: @WhackNicholson @BirdRespecter @JUNlPER

Yeah... I'm thinking this is another episode. Its a covid ep so Whack and Bird are very grateful for Emily carrying the show.   Follow us on twitter: @IHateNYT @BirdRespecter @WhackNIcholson

TEASER FOR THE PATREON!!   This is a departure we all recorded the day Nope came out. And despite not really being about Nic Cage at all it's still a fun conversation with Tillamundo.   Follow all of us on twitter: @Tillamundo @WhackNicholson @BirdRespecter

Quick question: How's your relationship with your father? If you found this podcast on Twitter, we have a guess. And that's why this episode is perfect for you!
