It's here. The final Insanity Check (sorta). Kriss brings on two of his favorite guests, Rod & Karen from The Black Guy Who Tips for this final episode. There's plenty to talk about since the last episode. Joe Biden won the general election and has won it like 30 more times since November 3rd. Trump has continued to lose it since then and all it has done is shown how insane and dangerous his conspiracy theories have been. Way too many people are willing to either believe his lies or play...

We're down to the final two (planned) episodes of the Insanity Check. For this episode I'm joined by Justin from 3FifsPodcast and we're able to breathe a sigh of relief because Joe Biden pulled it off and beat Trump in the 2020 election. Sure, we know this isn't going to solve everything, but not having a dictator-wannabe in office is a huge improvement.  Topics: * Biden & Trump got the most votes in history because this was the most accessible general election ever * Joe Biden ran...

We're only 3 episodes away from the end of the Insanity Check. It's more real now as I type that. Add in the fact that we recorded this episode only a few days before election night 2020 and well, there's a lot of anxiety going on. So I decided that for this episode, I'd take the Insanity Check back to its roots: Covering crazy news. This week I'm joined by Aaron from the Black Astronauts Podcast and let's just say...we have some fun. First, Four Loko is back with shots. Still no caffeine but...

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this month's dose of insanity in the world. This month is a little  bit different. 2020 might have finally broken Kriss. This was going to be a solo show but Ro manipula...convinced, Kriss to instead use this show to talk about the new documentary "All In: The Fight For Democracy". Of course this just made things worse (but better for you all). We spend most of this episode talking about that documentary and the f****d up...

We're still here. Somehow. 2020 has been kicking all of our asses and we're still only in the 4th round. Each month feels like it's own year. It's been a month since the last Insanity Check and so much has changed. Bernie Sanders is not only out of the race for the Democratic Nomination but he quickly endorsed Joe Biden, the US leads in Coronavirus cases AND Deaths (USA,  USA, USA), Trump isn't the dumbest sitting republican in office (its tough to top asking if ppl can inject disinfectants...

What a difference a month makes. Joe Biden goes from dead in the water in the Democratic Primary to being the Presumptive Nominee, the Coronavirus pandemic has whole states on quarantine and locusts....yes...locusts. Don't know who the writers are for this finale season of 'Earth' but it's beginning to be a bit unbelievable and lose the plot here. Need them to get their s**t together.
