About this episode

The episode humorously reflects on Dick Cheney's legacy and the intertwining of media, politics, and internet culture.

Dick Cheney is dead. Six days later, the twitter.com domain was retired. Coincidence? Or cosmic synchronicity revealing the hidden architecture of power? In tonight’s loose, rowdy hang, we start with Ben’s hot-mic hijinks and spiral into a darkly comic “tribute” to Dick Cheney—revisiting the 2006 quail-hunting fiasco, the meme era it spawned, and how early Twitter turbocharged political punchlines. From there we riff on media consolidation, platform shifts from Twitter to X, and whether the “Cheney presidency” eclipsed Bush. Along the way, we weave in Halliburton lore, Kathy O’Brien references, and the strange symmetry of internet culture, cable news, and podcast dominance. We also veer gloriously off-road: Gas Digital’s Story Wars, Legion of Skanks and Kill Tony get love; Tim Dillon’s infamous Meghan McCain bit makes an appearance; we commiserate over redistricting rants, fentanyl and Narcan street realities, and whether modern cities are drifting toward 15‑minute grids. We close with motorcycles vs. e-bikes, DIY food and farm life (yes, poop happens), and a grab‑bag of laugh‑to‑keep‑from‑crying stories that only this crew could conjure. LISTEN. IT ALL CONNECTS…
