  • Molly does some of the best work in the business. She's really great and telling an amazing story while also expressing the deep systemic issues and the insane nonsense and bigotry of the far right. She also shows great empathy for the victims of these fascist ghouls. Keep doing what you do Molly

  • The theme music gets to be too much

    Sure, the music is inventive and well-done and fits in to the show superbly well, and yes it is super-handy as a tell that 3 minutes of ads are seconds away so get your finger on that +10 skip-ahead button, but Molly, there is just way way way WAY too much of the music, and it becomes an earworm that keeps loyal listeners up at night. It’s like the spooky music to the 60s Screen Gems jingle and logo—the stuff of nightmares, lol. Kindly maybe kinda sorta throttle back on the theme music a little,... more

    Best cast on planet Earth. 6/5 stars like the cookie-like the eel. A Southern Gothic version of Grey Gardens is just one example.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

KFC #1: The Lies of Math (w/ Molly Conger)
Q: Why does Tucker Carlson pretend not to understand algebra and say he has no insurance?
Dan argues Carlson is feigning ignorance and agreement to build rapport with Ellefson and coax him into saying inflammatory things, while maintaining plausible deniability. The hosts point out that Carlson's claim about insurance conflicts with the Ethos advertisement in the episode.
KFC #1: The Lies of Math (w/ Molly Conger)
Q: Do you think it makes sense for Tucker Carlson to interview a guy who makes pots?
The hosts conclude that Carlson's interview is not mainly about pottery. They argue he booked Ellefson because of his racist social media content and tried to draw out more explicit anti-Semitic statements.
Listener Questions
Q: Where does the phrase 'Suits and Boots' come from, and why is it significant?
The host traces it to a 1997 Nick Griffin essay describing Front National's pivot to a more sophisticated image while still relying on militant supporters, highlighting how rhetoric mirrors strategic shifts in extremist movements.
Listener Questions
Q: What exactly is the recipe Earl Turner's tuna casserole, and where does it come from?
The recipe is a specific mixture of long flat noodles, mushroom soup, tuna, and heat, recounted as part of pulling back the curtain on the life of a white supremacist associate, showing the mundane details that surround extremist figures.
Listener Questions
Q: What was Earl Turner like on a personal basis, and what did his tuna casserole reveal about him?
He had a good sense of humor, enjoyed practical jokes, and preferred simple, everyday foods like tuna casserole; these details were highlighted to illustrate a human side to a notorious figure, despite the broader extremist context.
