#0321 - Just Eat Liver, Bro: Inflation Solved by Organ Meat - 03/04/2026

This episode detonates at full speed with the Idaho Falls Rumor Apocalypse™, where the sacred roadside monument known as Chief Totem (yes, the big wooden legend at Holmes and Lincoln that occasionally gets force-fed a newspaper blunt) is falsely declared SOLD to a mysterious California shadow corporation. The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce has to step in like exhausted parents on April Fool’s Eve and say, “We do not own the totem. We cannot sell the totem. Please log off.” Meanwhile, Facebook warriors are already preparing for battle, promising around-the-clock security and vowing that the wooden king will not “go quietly.” It’s five minutes into Wednesday and civilization is already hanging by a splintered cedar thread.

From there we spiral into Idaho’s newest legislative chaos: license plate stickers are being eliminated to save $300,000, which apparently means law enforcement now has to rely on vibes and laser-plate wizardry instead of color-coded sticker judgment. Is this progress? Is this the collapse of roadside order? Nobody knows. We’ll ask Lieutenant Crane at Traffic School because that’s where constitutional crises go to be gently explained before 9 a.m.

Then the internet does what it does best: eats one of its own. Beartooth drops a video, Caleb wears makeup and painted nails, and suddenly the comment section turns into a medieval village square. Instagram is wiped, insults are flying, and grown adults are acting like expressive dancing is a federal offense. Meanwhile, the host is just standing there like, “Have you seen Beartooth live? That’s literally how he moves.” The moral? People who would never say a word face-to-face will absolutely type a dissertation on eyeliner.

Next up: Relationship Reddit Doom Scroll Theater. A 23-year-old overhears his girlfriend say she “settled” for him. She claims she meant “settled down.” The internet screams DUMP HER. Emotional stability trembles. Youthful insecurity rises like a fog over a high school reunion. Somewhere in the background, Oasis slanders System of a Down, and we are reminded that the 90s were feral, Woodstock ‘99 may or may not have triggered a CIA-level cultural recalibration, and Billy Corgan is out here suggesting rock music was strategically nerfed. Government vs. Nu Metal. The files are probably buried under a pile of JNCOs.

Speaking of cultural collapse, Scary Movie 6 is allegedly making Gen Z “crash out,” except no one can find proof that anyone is actually mad. Marketing psyops? Possibly. Meanwhile, Scream 7 is limping along with weak reviews, and the true cinematic crown may return to fart jokes and aggressively inappropriate parody.

Then we take a hard left into Florida Crime Logic™, where a man steals $10,000 worth of Pokémon cards by ringing them up as taco seasoning packets at self-checkout, flips them for $40,000 on eBay, and now faces up to 90 years in prison. Taco seasoning. That’s the criminal mastermind strategy. Somewhere a Target loss prevention employee is staring at a receipt that says “Old El Paso x 600” and quietly questioning reality.

As if that wasn’t enough, we get beard wigs (just grow it, king), a shower snake in Australia (two and a half feet of “harmless” heart attack), a tragic cow-train physics nightmare in India involving a man making extremely poor bathroom location choices, and a 70-year marriage built entirely on not being a jerk and going out for pizza when dinner burns. Revolutionary.

We also get churro warfare—one man so anti-churro he threatens a street vendor with a bat. Imagine hating cinnamon sugar that much. Imagine choosing violence over fried dough. He’s in jail now. Justice for churros.

Then we take a beautifully unhinged emotional turn into grief, dark humor, and coping with the loss of a three-legged Yorkie who survived a dog attack, a car accident, cancer, and 2020 itself before finally clocking out like the toughest tiny warrior alive. There are horrible memes sent mid-cry. There are doctor-pimple-popper jokes about tumors. It’s wildly inappropriate. It’s deeply human. It’s two friends dealing with pain the only way they know how: by laughing at the abyss until it blinks first.

Billy Idol casually mentions he got off heroin by getting hooked on crack (DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME), Noel Gallagher declares System of a Down the worst band ever (Oasis saying this is bold), and RFK Jr. closes the episode by suggesting Americans simply eat liver if steak is too expensive. Liver. That’s the solution. Inflation defeated by organ meat.

And with that, the show signs off—no liver consumed, no totems sold, no churros harmed (except emotionally), and rock music still very much alive.
