In this episode I address how common it is for conservatives to call for murder to solve our social problems. Whether through capital punishment, lenient gun laws or some other means of torture and death conservative thinkers often seek out whatever “logical reasoning” they can find to justify killing the Other. Join me as I explore the true moral and scientifically sound answer to the question of, “When do I get to murder?”

In this episode of The Hot Tub Monologues I discuss the shortcomings of our United States constitution, the reality of the Tradwife movement, and how a return to traditional values is just dog whistling for a conservative movement that looks to regain control over women and revert them back into chattel; just like in the Bible. So what is the solution? Tune in to find out.

In this episode of the Hot Tub Monologues I address the well known, but denied, fact that everyone is racist. What sets people apart is their acknowledgement of their bigotry and the work that they do to address who they are, why they are racist, and how they are going to work through their bigotry through therapy.

In this episode I discuss how people suffering from conservatism often fall into conspiratorial thinking. Because they hold beliefs based on faith like: god, the bible, Jesus, and others they aren’t well versed in critical thinking. Thus, they readily and easily believe other nonsense like: flat Earth, lizard people, the mark of the beast, and others. During one of my many social dinners, I was treated to an onslaught of conspiratorial beliefs by an ex-friend of mine named Jerry. Jerry is a moron, and believes nearly everything he sees or hears on: Ancient Aliens, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Fox News, and other uncritical and dubious sources. Join me as I take you through this horrific experience and decode how and why conservatives so readily fall into this type of insanity.

In this episode of Hot Tub Monologues I discuss the modern conservative solution to most of society’s problems; violence. The call to violence against protesters, homeless people, drug addicts, and other people conservatives don’t like is all together too common. We see it on the news and in our social circles. People who suffer from conservative thinking are convinced that violence is a solution to many of society’s problems including how to care for their own children. As a progressive, I understand that the solution to our social problems is teamwork, compassion, nurturing, and cooperation. Violence should never be used to solve a problem, and society needs to progress past the need to use violence for any reason.

Join me back in the hot tub as I ponder some of life’s most intriguing questions with an inarticulate ignoramus conservative thinker. There I describe how being ignorant and inarticulate goes hand in hand with conservatism and just how unfortunate it is that conservatives fail to take the next step in the learning process.

Join me for an account of an adorable couple I met in England. Whilst sitting in a pub enjoying a fine English ale, I met a couple who swore to me that they had seen a ghost while vacationing in an old house in Whales. Together we analyzed their account of what happened and through sound scientific reasoning determined that they probably did not actually see a ghost and instead simply had an experience that they were calling a ghost. In my analysis of this conversation I break down the progressive, scientific way to think about these types of occurrences and discuss how conservative thinking often leads to these false conclusions. Join me.

I’m back in the hot tub talking with conservatives. Today I discuss bodily autonomy rights and women with a young, well-to-do Catholic yuppy. He’s probably a closeted homosexual who doesn’t think that women should have any rights at all. He describes to me his brilliant solution to the abortion problem humanity faces and thus, I am once again shocked and appalled by just how inhumane humans can be. Join me, won’t you.

Join me for another episode where I talk with Larry. The bigoted, trans-phobic asshole who likes to openly degrade and dehumanize people that he doesn’t understand. It’s highly likely that Larry is a trans or faggot, but refuses to accept his true nature due to religious and political beliefs. Sorry that I said faggot, but those are his words and I wanted to use them to be authentic.
Join us as we continue to explore the modern conservative mind. If you want to call it that.

Join me as I discuss poverty with a conservative. There we will dive into the modern conservative view of public welfare systems and just how contemptuous conservatives believe them to be. My conservative friend explains to me how he feels about those that are unemployed and how they need to be put to work as soon as possible. This is despite their personal woes and anything that might be troubling them. Join us to discover what a modern conservative thinks and feels about those that are suffering from poverty.

Join us in the hot tub as we talk with an elderly conservative. Larry loves his family and believes that the family unit is the most basic unit of civilization. So basic, in fact, that it should be responsible for curing all the ills that trouble modern day society. Are you homeless? Then it is up to your family to help you. Mentally ill? Your family should take care of you. Addicted to drugs? Live with your family, they have all the resources you could ever need. After speaking with Larry I break down how his conservative “solutions” fail and demonstrate that he really doesn’t give a shit. Please join us.

Join me for this episode of the Hot Tub Monologues where I explore the modern conservative views of people who are queer. I’m joined by a 17 year old Christian White Nationalist who describes his problems with people who are gender queer and his eventual solution. It’s sad to hear such a young person be so bigoted, but this is where most of these bad ideas begin: with the youth.
