Seattle Sucks

It’s that time of year again! Time to sit down at the table with family and friends, dig into your potatoes, and blast the Mechanical Freak Thanksgiving Pageant Spectacular at max volume through your open-back headphones to drown out your family. This year, we are joined by two Justins to talk local politics, one Dae to discuss sports gambling, and one Carl to discuss daily life in occupied Palestine. We also have holiday cooking advice, music reviews, comically dated fan fiction, libertarian hijinks, and a time-machine to take us back to Thanksgiving Day, 1973!

We’re joined by renowned media star Dae Shik Kim Jr to educate us on the recent lame Seattle election results. We also discuss the disappearance of Black people in baseball, the rise of pickleball, down bad stories, and place uncut gems style bets on Biden’s VP pick.

We get back together to discuss the latest developments in Palestine and the new ghoulish tact that our feckless leaders have taken on it.

The boys discuss the latest developments in Palestine and dive into the neuroses that come from running an Apartheid state.

What caused the U-District and Ballard Targets to close? Was it crime? Was it big-city woke-ism? Was it a terrible business model that was never capable of competing against Amazon and local grocery stores? We get to the bottom of this mystery!

Greg, Munya, and Brian get together to discuss the latest scandal to come out of the Seattle Police Department that has become a national, and now international, story.

Greg and Brian get together to discuss the housing market and listen to some old time rock n roll. Raised rates, displace, RealPage, anyways, it’s still unaffordable to me.

The boys get some funny news out of Utah before asking the eternal question, “Is Seattle allowed to tax its billionaires?” Answer: still no. But most importantly, we discover the Pulitzer Prize winning work of our favorite cartoonist, David “the Horseman” Horsey.

Munya and Brian take a look at two seemingly opposing economic views – that this is the best economy that has ever existed and that Portland is populated solely by homeless drug addicts – before effortlessly synthesizing these contradictions into one unifying ancient alien theory.

We catch up with our friend from last week, David Volodzko, as he continues his newspaper columnist to conservative substack-grifter speedrun. After that, our patrons are treated to some shocking news regarding housing and the cosmic law of supply & demand.

Dear Fremont, did you ever sit on your grandad's knee and ask him 'what did you do in the great World War II?' Also, Andrew Lewis prepares to boringly suck his way to reelection.

This week Munya and Greg discuss their love of the great national passtime of baseball and it's importance about all human consideration, some psycho cop shit, and Greg's new deadly diagnosis (for the win).

Munya is still exploring the bottom of the sea, but Greg and Brian are here to talk Biden’s big Ws at the Supreme Court, the future of colleges, and some crack reporting at the Seattle Times.

We bring Justin Ward from DivestSPD to explain to us why our parents are fighting online. After talking Brandi Kruse and Jonathan Choe, Justin sticks around to talk some of the latest SPD scandals and give us an update on SPD’s latest recruiting efforts.
