## Resource

This episode kicks off with the segment that gave tonight its name, the "Parade of Dunces" quiz game, where the Duchess tries to guess how badly a viral street-interview subject butchers basic trivia (spoiler: Idaho is apparently a language, and the Great Wall of China might be in Japan). It rolls straight into a socialist street-interview reel that's just as painful, before John and the Duchess pivot to Trump finally losing patience with Iran after a round of ship attacks. From there it's a full news gauntlet: Graham Platner's campaign implodes under rape allegations and a pile of Democratic hypocrisy (including a hall-of-fame Sunny Hostin "hold my nose and vote for him anyway" moment), Flock surveillance cameras creeping into cities, HOAs, and literal state parks, a Michigan woman's cat-hoarding horror show, 16 kids found living in filth in rural Ohio, a disputed ICE shooting in Houston, Gen X hitting 60 and still needing mom and dad's money, and an Indiana substitute teacher walking away with two years for sending nudes to a 14-year-old. The back half goes full tinfoil with a Charlie Kirk shooting conspiracy tangent, courtesy of chat regular Nitsimoto's theories about Erica Kirk, before wrapping with the usual sign-off. Somehow it all fits under one roof, which is exactly the point of the show. TOPICS The "Dumb Broad" quiz game Socialism street-interview reactions Iran strikes / Trump military response Graham Platner's campaign collapse Sunny Hostin's "hold my nose" comments Flock surveillance cameras Michigan cat hoarding case Ohio "house of horrors" — 16 children found Houston ICE shooting Gen X turning 60 / financial dependence on parents Indiana substitute teacher sentencing Charlie Kirk shooting conspiracy talk Join us on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30 pm Easter…
