~Persian thuuuuuugs, but Contras from Nicaragua~
Protests abound, hijabs burned, shots fired, kabobs unseasoned: A lot's been happening in Iran. Once again, the Hot Pocket lads offer some historical context and advice to chew on.
We focus on the history of the BP oil company, formerly known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, to explain why the West has always been so interested in this part of the war. All of which becomes painfully relevant for when we look at the CIA-backed coup of Mohammad Mosaddegh and the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty.
Which leads us to this episode's thesis: Not all skinfolk are kinfolk. There's plenty of reasons to support the people of Iran, but there's plenty of Iranians with bad intent. And we close off with a discussion about the hijab and modest wear in general.
Skip to 4:30 if you want to jump right into the actual news/history.

from the ashes
And just in time for spooky season.
Raise your PSL's, the prodigal sons have returned from their sabbatical. We promised big changes upon our return, and today, I'm happy to announce that none of those have been finalized yet. Good work team.
Instead, we're doing a grab-bag of major headlines that we missed: Shout out to the dead queen and all her bootlickers, colored and uncolored (but especially colored). Captain Sabra rears her overpriced, bland face to the MCU, once again proving that Marvel movies gotta go. He fell so we could rise: Andrew Tate had a brief moment in the sun before being yoinked.
And a special, secret, dumb guest at the very end......

they're mid
And so was this photoshop, but I tried my darndesdt.
Rejoice for our long anticipated reunion. The Hot Pocket hosts recount their recent travels before hitting the pop culture one-two. We reviewed CLB, now for the oonst-oonst follow up. It's a little catchy? Then Ms. Marvel: One point for representation, minus six points for being incredibly annoying. Watch Ramy instead.
Ol' reliable "Dirty Landry" advice segment returns. Why're you mad at my brother when I cheated? Honey, stop looking at those massive jugs, you have a diagnosed problem.
We are absolutely firing on some cylinders this time.
