In this week's episode Mr. Morgan setup an interview with a returning guest that also happens to be running for Josephine County Commissioner... Matt Spurlock! Have a listen as our two socialists engage Matt in intriguing conversation and trade mysterious words of potentially investigative natures. Will the true nature of existence be exposed?

No... absolutely not. But you might come away with a better understanding of Mr. Spurlock, some of his positions as a County Commissioner Candidate, and maybe... just maybe... you might end up deciding Matt has your vote.

In this week's episode, our two Socialists take another look at our local embarrassment of a representative, Dwayne Wank... I mean Yunker. We cover a brief interview Dwayne had from Mike on Mike at an event Dwayne, and a few other MAGA leaning politicians had in Grants Pass, then we cover a highlights reel of that event where Dwayne talks a big game to take credit for money Josephine County got from a legislative bill that Dwayne voted against. Finally, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan go over Dwayne's Facebook post responding to criticism he's received for taking credit for money he voted against, and some of the more critical responses he received.

In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan go over a news article from the Daily Courier about a lawsuit against some former, and one current, county commissioner. Then Mr. Kieffer attempts to torture Mr. Morgan with a February radio interview of former Commissioner Foreskin. Finally our two socialists view a video made by a man with the charisma of a dead raccoon who decides to spout his general ignorance on the SAVE act and gender issues as though it was simple wisdom.

Episode 64 March 16th, 2026

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode our socialists review the last bit of legislation that our local state representative, Dwayne diaper stain Yunker, spoke on during our states short legislative meetup, and the results of the subsequent votes. Though Dwayne speaks about a few things, he ends up speaking against a bill that has to do with the state picking up the slack after the Federal Government cut medicaid funding for non-abortion services with Planned Parenthood, and our socialists might have a few choice words about Dwayne's position.

Episode 63 March 9th, 2026

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode our two Socialists go back a short way and take a look at a little bit of our new County Commissioners. They review a few comments from the peanut gallery of their first business meeting, then address the fact that the newly selected Commissioners (and Commissioner Smith) need to address a long overdue petition from an asshole that the previous commissioners kept pushing back to the point that it is over a year out of compliance.

In short, fun times had by all.

In the continuation of this week's episode, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan stay on task and resume going over Oregon State Representative Dwayne, Diaper Stain, Yunker's addressing of certain state legislation.

Does Mr. Kieffer get his shit together and correctly let Mr. Morgan and the listener know what the next topic is each time in this episode?

The short answer is no. The long answer is nooooooooooooooooooooo.

Episode 62 March 2nd , 2026

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan acknowledge that we have two new assigned county commissioners to replace the two assholes who were recalled and resigned. Then, after a couple of announcements, our two Socialists discuss one of our local state representatives in the Oregon legislature... specifically our representative Dwayne Yunker, the arguments he makes for or against some of the legislation on the floor, and whether or not that legislature passes.

One of our announcements is regarding a local T-shirt drive with Rogue Indivisible. Rogue Indivisible is doing a T-shirt drive and you can order a shirt online at https://forms.gle/1r4wm3a7EdKwboJQ6. Shirts ordered ahead of time will cost $15, and you will receive your shirt at the No Kings 3 rally on March 28th. If you do not order a shirt, but want one, they will have extra shirts for $20 at the No Kings 3 rally, while supplies last.

Episode 60 February 9th, 2026

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode our Socialists take a look at a brief video posted by our homophobic representative, Dwayne Yunker, listing legislation that will be debated on this month in the Oregon Government. Then Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have some fun (we use that term loosely) poking at a more recent video by the Josephine County Republican. After that they watch a few video clips from the news about ICE using tear gas and flash bangs in Portland on peaceful protesters.

Also, Mr. Morgan announces that he will be out the week when we would record for our episode to be released on the 23rd, so we will have an episode next week, but not the week after that one.

Episode 59 February 2nd, 2026

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan quickly go over "Commander" Chris' resignation... video? Wait really, that pompous chode did a resignation video? Well shit, it looks like he did... So, our Socialists review that brief video, then go over some video of a really awesome ICE protest that happened in Grants Pass. Finally our Socialists get into an older-ish news story (about a month old now) involving corruption and incompetence with the Grants Pass City Council.

Will the be the start of a new era? Probably not... but at least we'll be there just as frustrated as everyone else with more than two brain cells to rub together.

Episode 58 January 26th, 2026

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:00:00 GMT

This week our Socialist have a new topic, totally unrelated to the drama with the County Commissioners, to talk about...

Just kidding. Unfortunately there is still plenty of drama as Barnett's lackeys continue to push propaganda to try to convince the local populace that the recall petition was based on lies, that Commissioner Smith's recalling himself was not legitimate, and the idea that Barnett still can be involved in the process to appoint a replacement for 🤮.

Then there's the waste of time and money "Commander" Chris has been perpetuating by having continued meetings wherein nothing can occur all for the sake of appeasing his frail ego.

Episode 57 January 19th, 2026

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan go over the first evening Josephine County Commissioner Business meeting in OVER. A. YEAR. There were lots of commenter in this meeting, and we mean a-LOT. Despite cutting what we thought would be really redundant comments, our two Socialists still had nearly an hour of video to go over, and a little over a third of it is former Commissioner, "Commander" Chris, being a whiney little chode.

Episode 56 January 12th, 2026

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In this episode, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan partake in libations in celebration of the successful vote to recall "Commander" Chris from the position of Commissioner. Our socialists will go over the County Commissioner Weekly Business meeting, an Administrative Workshop, and another Fireside Chat with Chris Barnett, all from January 7th.

Mr. Kieffer offers the most humble of apologies for the audio jumping in a few places in this episode. It seems the consumption of alcohol inhibits his ability to properly operate the recording software, and he might have messed up a couple of times throughout the episode.

Episode 55 January 5th, 2026

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In today's episode our Socialists are ditching any local topics to discuss something on the national level. This is in part because the recall election will be over the day after this episode airs, and our Socialists do not want to provide any last minute speculation or do a last minute, "VOTE! VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!" push.

"So what kind of national topic might be covered," you ask. Well... Mr. Kieffer may have gotten his hands on a digital copy of a very recent 60 Minutes segment that is banned in the US, and our two Socialists juuuuuuuuuust might be watching that segment.

This is one of our shortest full episodes, at just over 30 minutes long, and fair warning... the topic is exceptionally depressing and potentially rage inducing.

Episode 54.5 December 31st, 2025

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In their follow up episode for the week, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan interviewed a local journalist and owner of the Grants Pass Tribune, John Oliver Rico. Our socialists start with some questions to get a feel for who John is. After getting some background they turn their questions to some more recent drama with "Commander" Chris.

Mr. Kieffer offers his apologies. In editing some of his coughs out of the audio he accidentally deleted a small portion of the interview around 11:15 into the episode. He humbly begs for forgiveness from you, the listener.

Please remember to cast your votes to recall "Commander" Chris from office on (or preferably before) January 6th.

Episode 54 December 29th, 2025

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Our socialists are back and have a lot to go over from the past two weeks. There is so much to go over, in fact, that Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have split this week's episode into two parts. The first, longer part, airing today... and the follow up (which will be an interview) airing on Wednesday.

In this part of this week's podcast, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan go through some videos of "Commander" Chris trying to control the narrative, an apparent lackey of his pushing some of Chris' propaganda, and a Commissioner meeting where our socialists get to see Wally Hicks for the first time, and Wally politely ends up telling Chris to shut his damn trap about legal litigation before Chris puts his own foot in it.

Also a friendly reminder, if you're a Josephine county resident and registered voter, please make sure you have voted in the recall of Commissioner Chris... and turned in your ballot.

Announcement 003, December 22nd, 2025

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Our two Socialists don't have a new episode this week, but they do have some brief ponderings about the holiday, followed by a quick but important reminder.

We hope you enjoy this announcement, and have a happy holiday!

Episode 53 December 15th, 2025

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Kieffer watch "Commander" Chris' very bizarre one man meeting that somehow wasn't a meeting and turned into an information session for the public that somehow was mostly "Commander" Chris trying to negotiate the meaning of statutes and the county charter to try to make an argument for rescinding Ron Smith recusing himself from participating in selecting 🤮's replacement due to a conflict of interest.

It is absolutely more convoluted than it sounds, and Barnett makes a complete and utter ass out himself, as per usual.

Episode 52 December 8th, 2025

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

This week has been a really busy week for Josephine county, with lots of stuff to go over. Unfortunately our two socialists have limited time so we decided to cover the most recent developments in the ongoing Josephine County Commissioner recall petition. Barnett does an... interview... we guess... okay, we really don't think it technically qualifies as an interview. It doesn't really improve from there as the two subjects of the recall continue to make questionable decisions to manage damage control or the narrative, and their social media cheer leader really isn't helping.

Episode 51 December 1st, 2025

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan talk about a written post Josephine County Commissioner "Commander" Chris made in response to the recall petition. Then our intrepid socialists listen to a couple of videos from one of our more hard right Conservatives and muse a little about how this person can misinterpret freedom of speech, and how this same person can turn a video about asking people to volunteer at the Josephine County Republican's office into an advertisement to sell Republican merchandise. Finally our socialists listen to, and comment on, a KOBI news clip about a decision that the Three Rivers' School District made.

Mr. Kieffer again apologizes for the coughing, though there is less of it this time.

Episode 50 November 24th, 2025

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Holy crap, it's been a month and we're finally back!

After a hiatus due to Mr. Kieffer having, and recovering from, a two-week stretch of pneumonia, our dynamic duo is back to go over local happenings. In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan talk about the current status of the recall petition for "Commander" Chris and Andreas 🤮, and our Socialists discuss what is a current attempt that opposition to the recall is using to try to undermine the recall effort.

Then our Socialists go over some brief selected clips from the Josephine County Commissioner Business Meeting, from about two weeks ago because there was no business meeting for this last week.

Mr. Kieffer apologizes in advance for the constant coughing which we've tried to edit out and/or reduce. He says he's doing much better, but he's still technically recovering.

In this weeks' episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan (one of them being elated from getting to participate in the No Kings II Rally) take a few minutes to talk about the No Kings II Rally... then they get into the meat and potatoes of the prior Josephine County Commissioners' meeting from 10/09/2025, because there was no Josephine County Commissioner Business meeting on 10/16.

Does Mr. Morgan make use of the C word again? Probably.

Do our Malt Liquor Socialist solve any of our Southern Oregon Community's problems? Absolutely not.

In this episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan lack a County Commissioner Business meeting to go over. But fret not, the Josephine County Commissioners FINALLY managed to vote on a lease that (while not holding to the county charter) doesn't completely screw over the Josephine Community Library. Our esteem socialists go over a few video clips, and then discuss an update with "commander" Chris' legal issues in Coos County, and revelations about 🤮's increased salary to a Mr. Sellers via the county's dime.

In this brief bonus episode, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan decide to give a listen to "Commander" Chris' five-ish minute rambling at the... tribute? Sure, I guess it was a tribute... for the bigoted propagandist who would "debate" people, Charlie Kirk.

Spoiler, Chris does seem to make an inappropriate amount of what he said at this Josephine County tribute, for a Kirk, about himself.

Episode 42, August 25th, 2025

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 13:00:00 GMT

After taking a couple of weeks off for life, love, and probably our general well being... Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan are back in a nearly two and a half hour episode where they listen to the Josephine County Commissioner Business Meetings for 8/14/2025 and 8/21/2025. In those meetings our hosts will discover what incompetence lies within the hearts of men... specifically the current Josephine County Commissioners. Will Blech, Barnett, and Smith finally approve the library lease and bring and end to the drama that Barnett and Smith put into motion with former Commissioner "Foreskin" West, or will the circus continue? The answer may surprise some of you... but it probably won't.

Incidentally, there is a recall petition starting in Josephine County for Barnett and Blech, and it is being submitted on the same day this episode releases. We strongly advocate for any listeners who are registered voters in Josephine County to find and sign that petition, and if anyone has the time to help out please feel free to volunteer to help with the petition. The petition HQ will be at 123 SW K Street in Grants Pass. We will share more information, including any online details, on our episode releases as we get those details. There should be an opportunity to sign the petition at the up and coming protest on Labor Day at the Josephine County Courthouse, and there will likely be tables at the Grants Pass Post Office and Saturday Market (among other locations throughout the county) on a regular basis.

In this episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have to adapt to the fact that there is no Josephine County Commissioners Business Meeting this prior week. They listen briefly to a clip from the County Commissioners' Administrative Workshop, then they move onto something that neither have done before... They check in on the Grants Pass City Council meeting. Unfortunately there wasn't one for this prior week either, but there was one from two weeks ago, and that's good enough for our hosts.

Afterwards Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have a meandering discussion about the fun and absolutely not politically charged issue that is the Iran/Israel cease fire, and some very generic history that led those two countries (and the US) to where we are at now.

Afterwards we hop on the Signal leak scandal, because it seems like fun, and we react to Diaper Don's press secretary addressing the Signal leak to reporters.

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 13:00:00 GMT

In this episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan look at the most recent result of the legal battle between the city of Grants Pass, and homeless people who want to be treated like human beings. After that, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Kieffer look at the Democratic Party of our nation. Why is it that the Democratic Party is polling so low despite the fact that we have an actual inept Fascist in office?

We also have a fun call to action. There's a protest coming up that you might want to participate in, and there's a specific Oregon Congressman who really... REALLY, needs you to reach out to him to tell him how you feel.

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 13:00:00 GMT

In this episode Mr. Kieffer goes solo and attempts to serenade the listener with the silky soft sound of his voice while talking about what's been happening locally with the Josephine County Library lease, an Oregon Senate bill that could have a significant impact on workers' ability to strike, and briefly touches on Dwayne, dick for brains, Yunker's stunt to try to oppose a bill that would make it harder to ban books in school libraries. Afterwards Mr. Kieffer talks about Vice President Trump's ICE arresting, and trying to deport, a green card holder for exercising his first amendment rights a year ago, and quickly touches on Trump's recent executive order attempting to terminate the Department of Education.

Fun times people. Fun fucking times.

In this episode Mr. Kieffer went to the Josephine County Town Hall that was hosted by Senator Merkley. This episode is the audio recording, from Mr. Kieffer's phone, of that town hall.

The audio has been tweaked a little to dim the thundering applauses, and then jacked back up again so we can try to hear the voices as people speak. Mr. Kieffer apologizes for the quality of the audio, or lack thereof.

Episode 22, February 24th, 2025

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

We're back after taking the last week off. Today Mr. Kieffer is joined by Tom from the Facebook group Satanic Gay Immigrants II: The Zuckening. In it we will go over and article from the Grants Pass Tribune on how Commissioner "Commander" Chris seems to want news to be under the direction of local government. Afterward we talk about Trump's efforts to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine... without including Ukraine in the process.

Special note, Tom politely requested after the recording that I omit his last name from the audio. I have done so, and filled the space left behind with censorship beeps.

We briefly go over some good news, then we discuss an article written by the director of the local chapter of the Gospel Rescue Mission and the potential consequences the town of Grants Pass could face due to decisions made by its newly elected and grossly inept city council. Afterwards we talk about a topic that hasn't been gone over to death at all in any other media... Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute. Then we tie things off briefly talking about Trump blaming DEI for the mid air collision on January 29th, and how Trump's tools have taken to blaming the piloting of a very alive trans pilot for causing a crash that nobody survived.

Episode 18 January 20th, 2025

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In our first Martin Luther King Day episode we don't really discuss anything about it being Martin Luther King Day... until much later in the episode and it's really just mentioned in passing while marveling at the irony that the day we have in honor of Martin Luther King is also the day when an elderly shit gibbon with a bad orange spray tan is sworn into office.

For our local topic, we discuss the recent decision from the Josephine County Commissioners to terminate the lease on the Josephine County Library, and we also talk a little about the general behavior our two newly ELECTED commissioners are presenting when it comes to things like social media, representing their constituent, and listening to their constituents.

Afterwards we wrap up the first chapter of Project 2025. Fun times.

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In this episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan discuss the exciting and controversial subject of THE COST OF EGGS... and after that we get into the first chapter of Project 2025. This episode comes with two disclaimers:

The first chapter of project 2025 is dull as dirt (as I think all the chapters in the first section of Project 2025 will be),
We don't get through the entirety of the first chapter (we might be halfway through it by the end of the episode).

Enjoy?

Afterwards we get into the third part of "The Conservative Promise" of project 2025, and Mr. Morgan shares an epiphany about how Conservatives can make art, but they cannot create art.

It doesn't get any better than this folks...

No, seriously, Project 2025 is really bad and it doesn't get better.

Episode 13, December 9th, 2024

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 14:00:11 GMT

Today is a shorter episode as I am on my own. Funny how dialogue between two or more people can help fill the time. Anyways, for our local topic we get to look into a more recent development with the effort to Recall Commissioner John West, and then for the national issue we briefly touch on the Presidential pardon of Hunter Biden.

Episode 12, December 2nd, 2024

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 14:00:27 GMT

In this episode we briefly discuss a hopeful light regarding the homeless situation in the Grants Pass area. Will anything come of it...? Well, we're not holding our breath, but it is important to address as a possibility. After that we jump right into the Forward of Project 2025, and by jump into the forward I mean we get into the first two fifths of the Forward. In our defense, it is really difficult to get through (not because it is really complex stuff, but because it's some borderline Fascist rhetoric... and there's a lot of it).

After we cover our local issue we start our first episode in what will probably be a painful series in which we discuss and comment on Project 2025. Yes... we are probably, after a fashion, masochists.
