## Resource

Welcome back to Vile And Horrendous, still a weekly podcast and still looking for a better name for the Pussy Hounds. If this is your first time, this show is about all the little things that make me look around and go, what the hell is wrong with people? In this episode, I kick things off with some surprisingly good news from my blood work, which makes absolutely no sense given what I was doing the week before. I then get into the epidemic of regular, non-famous people screaming their political opinions into the social media void for just a few likes and why I'm begging them to just get a friend and a cup of coffee instead. From there, I tackle the idea that Hollywood and Washington are literally the same industry. They've economized ethics and they have monetized morality. I mean, Biden signed with CAA, Chelsea Handler bought a house from RFK...they're all in bed together despite appearances and I've got the receipts. I also react to a fresh batch of headlines I haven't seen before, including Britney Spears doing exactly what you'd expect in an LA restaurant, a tourist who thought a Hawaiian monk seal had it coming, and a South Korean temple that just ordained a robot monk. And we close out with some Pig Talk, a brewery worker with a rage-inducing story about a toddler and a sarcastic dad, and a listener whose drinking days took a particularly disgusting turn. You'll see.
