Crazy and The King Podcast - A Texas Maid's Tale: A War on Women in Texas
play

09/09/21 • 34 min

On Sept 1, Texas put into place the country's most restrictive abortion law and in their most deplorable move yet turned citizens into bounty hunters. SCOTUS provides no injunctive relief allowing nearly 50 years of a women's right to choose to effectively be overturned. Some companies came to the rescue, some continued to donate to the politicians who passed the law. They all still played the game in Texas.

Crazy and The King Podcast - Unwoke.HR and Tucker's Dirty Little Secret
play

07/16/20 • 37 min

Julie and Torin take a lighter note exploring racism disguised as white fragility. Unwoke.HR - Best troll ever, honeypot, or worst niche job board in the history of job boards? Only time will tell, but if the folks hiding behind the white curtain would come out and chat they could let us know. Doubtful, we know. Next, Tucker Carlson fires head writer for writing anonymously exactly what he would write for the Tucker's opening monologue. We don't need you to tell us who you are, we already know.

A special thank you from the Hickson family for your support and encouragement after last week's episode TRIGGER WARNING and our bonus episode with a 1x1 interview with Melissa. A lot of you have reached out asking how to support the family. Here is a link to the go fund me below. We will keep you up to date on the progress of this incredibly important story.
