Show Notes
Today, we discuss ending the podcast. We decide…we still like doing this shit! Turns out podcast fun? Podcast helpful? Podcast...hopeful? Even though we didn’t win a Golden Globe, that DOESN’T mean we didn’t deserve a Golden Globe. Maybe next year! If you want us to keep podcasting forever, please give us some yummy yummy affirmations! We live off of your written reviews, your Patreon bucks, and your general accolades. That’s honestly the main reason we’re still here, so THANK YOU to everyone who supports us on the regular. Since we decided to continue the podcast, we’re thrilled to introduce a new segment: The 🦅Foundation of Society 🦅. Are you the only person on planet earth? Huge if true. Write in at [email protected] And guess what kiddos, it’s a Snake of The Week/Segment P.U.B.E.S crossover! That could only mean one thing: Robert Fitzwilliam Kennedy is involved. Stay tuned to the end for updates on Segment Dictionary: I Swallowed Wrong and It Went Down The Wrong Pipe/I Choked On My Own Spit. We have some new verbiage we’d like to you to consider, vote on, and start implementing immediately.

And you all made it easy for us. Guess we’ll keep making the pod :/
Welcome back to Swamp Person! Today we welcome our first GUEST. Her name is Jenny Hunter, and she’s a labor lawyer and writer based in DC. And we are so excited to be answering some important questions about LABOR UNIONS + THE SUPREME COURT.
Today we have a listener question coming in from one Lindy W. of the Washington State area: How come sometimes the Supreme Court issues a ruling that doesn’t make us want to claw our eyeballs out? Sometimes Clarence Thomas decides NOT to p*ss in our mouths??? Is that on purpose?
We just want to say thank you to everyone who has been tuning into the live stream so far! We have given away copies of Adult Braces, we have read your essays, and we have fallen in love with each and every one of you!! If you haven’t yet tuned in, we have ONE MORE livestream TONIGHT!!!
