Worst Year Ever. News podcast for 2020 and a bit beyond hosted by Behind the Bastards host Robert Evans and Some More News hosts Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll
I’ve just recently got into BTB and it’s kind of my first dive into listening to podcasts and I love it, WYE sounds like it would have been right up my alley because I loved all those people when they were on Cracked.
It’s very focused on current events but there are still some banger episodes in there, the Cracked Alum are national treasures
Edit: it might have originally been on BtB but Robert had both Katy and Cody on to read his book The War on Everyone which if you like the rest of his work is gonna be something you want to listen to
The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when the ones in power found someone smarter than themselves, they immediately stepped down to put him in charge of solving the world’s biggest problems.
The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when they find someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and incite violence against that person.
We’d be fucking lucky to get the future depicted in Idiocracy - where we’re headed is MUCH darker.
President Camacho saw his nation’s problems, and to fix them he sought out the smartest man on the planet, asked him for solutions, gave him the power to enact those solutions, and promoted him when those solutions showed positive results.
Gimme politicians like that instead of the empty Viagra packets we’ve got now.
To be fair, Comacho also damn near executed Not Sure when he didn’t get results fast enough. There is something to be said for patience, as well as having the will to enact changes.
Not so much that he didn’t get results fast enough, but that his solutions had unforseen side effects re the ecominy automatically laying everyone off because the reduction in Brawndo consumption caused the stock to decrease. At that point, it looked like Not Sure hadn’t actually solved anything and created yet another problem.
We live in the stupidest timeline.
Everyday, I’m reminded of the lyrics to the theme song of a podcast I adored while it was still running.
“Everything is so dumb, everything is so dumb, and it’s gonna get dumber”
What was it called?

I miss WYE, even if it didn’t really give me much in the way of positivity

There’s also Very Stupid by Negativland. I think of it often these days.

I used to say we rejected Star Trek for Cyberpunk/Shadowrun. I’m afraid we’re heading for Dark City now…
You say that now. Just wait till this necrotic ass gets re-elected
We live in the current smartest timeline. It’s so smart, it allows us to see all the dumb through a portable slab of glass
