Jerry of the Circus 37-07-02 -005- Jason Pays the Twenty Two Dollars

Our company does what a lot of companies try to do with throwing things that make the bonds stronger in our building like our Thanksgiving feast and Slater wants to perform at the talen show and drag Chloe and Obie into it. Plus, say goodby to new shiny pennies...they are done and will become a thing of the past!

Welp, the government shutdown is over, and the democrats have a lot of egg on their face, so we have a lot to choose from this week. Check out who to the honors this week.

Vicki and Hayley explore the magical world of Community and Social Circus. Hayley describes the unique opportunities that “circusing” provides for growing confidence, connection, and strength – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Through stories of her own transformation alongside her peers, Hayley offers a creative peek into many parallels with counselling. These include increasing safety to increase risk-taking, exploring meaningful consent, and the power of mentorship.

Much to the dismay of one YouTube commenter, Andy declares this as yet another Victory Monday episode! He's excited about the latest Bears comeback win but instead eggs Brendan and PJ on to discuss the Tank Bowl between the Jets and Browns on Sunday. After a quick recap of the misery at the Meadowlands, Andy and Brendan move into a weekend recap of all things pro golf. "Benny Booms" secured his third win of the calendar year at the World Wide Technology Championship with a 63 on Sunday, moving into the OWGR top ten and bumping Collin Morikawa out. Griffin's breakout 2025 is discussed at length, and Andy and Brendan try to figure out how likely he is to win a major next season. On the DP World Tour, Aaron Rai took down Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff at the HSBC Abu Dhabi to win the first playoff event. Rory McIlroy made things interesting with a 62 on Sunday, falling one shot short of the playoff. Brendan credits Rory for staying in the fight after a season full of wins which may make a random DPWT event seem somewhat meaningless. The rains did NOT bless the LPGA's Toto Japan Classic. Weather caused the final round to be stopped while it was in progress and the tournament reverted back to the 54 hole scores as the final leaderboard. This led to a playoff conducted on a makeshift 130-yard "par 3" that was actually a rain-soaked par 5. Andy pleads with the LPGA's new commissioner to fix the league's recurring issues and maybe consider playing more events in Asia due to great fan turnouts. Min Woo Lee announced that he will be playing on the PGA Tour for 2026, putting to bed any rumors of his departure for a LIV contract. This Dr. Chipinski storyline segues nicely into some TGL talk before NFL Minute rounds out this episode with a new Andy conspiracy about Aaron Rodgers.

The show started with the announcement that democrats are folding and there seems to be a light at the end of the shutdown tunnel. Then the Circus was reminded that today was the Marine's 250th birthday and how dare we not open the show with that information, so for the rest of the show we kept wishing Happy Birthday to our brave United State Marines. Did you feel something was off with last week's elections, especially in New Jersey? Before you tell us to take our tinfoil hat off, we speak to Maricopa County recorder Justin Heap about found ballots from the last election. Plus, Trump at the game, liberal white women, Minnesota mayor, Germany, and Minnesota mayor panders...Happy Birthday Marines!

In the world of politics and news there is always a lot going on, but this last week seemed to be extra newsworthy and full of OMG moments. The Conservative Circus does it's best to cover it all with truth, serious takes, and when needed a lot of comic relief, usually the left writes our best material.

Go deeper than the "Surface Circus." Audiobook.  Mature listeners only (18+).

A South Carolina political firestorm takes center stage as Congresswoman Nancy Mace faces explosive allegations from her ex-fiancé — accusations of hacking, blackmail, and revenge gone viral. Tara dives deep into the lawsuit drama, the blurred lines between legal protection and political manipulation, and why South Carolina's political scene continues to shock — even by its own colorful standards. Politics, power, and personal chaos — South Carolina style. Nancy Mace scandal, South Carolina politics, political lawsuits, congressional controversy, media law, defamation, campaign drama, Tara Show, political accountability, legal loopholes In this episode, Tara unpacks the explosive legal feud between Congresswoman Nancy Mace and her ex-fiancé, Patrick Bryant. A new lawsuit accuses Mace of hacking, false accusations, and blackmail tied to multimillion-dollar properties — all while leveraging congressional speech immunity. The discussion explores how politicians weaponize lawsuits and the media, drawing eerie parallels to past South Carolina political scandals, including Nikki Haley's. As the chaos unfolds, Tara and Lee reflect on the Palmetto State's flair for producing headline-grabbing figures, its forgiving voters, and what this latest controversy could mean for Mace's future.

Nick Anderson/Raw Story  On this week's show... The Donald Trump Hunger Games begin with the administration doing as little as possible to comply with a court-ordered continuation of SNAP Benefits. For millions of Americans, it means going hungry … just not quite as hungry as Trump had wanted. The Trump shutdown is officially the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the record of 35 days set during the first Trump term. With Trump's administration failing on the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and basic competence in the background, Democrats sweep the handful of off-year elections including flipping Virginia's governor's office and holding on in New Jersey. We'll do a post-mortem on the election, and the impact on Michigan politics, with former Obama Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri. Two updates on Michigan's congressional races: a familiar name enters the GOP primary to replace John James, and new polling shows Lansing-area Congressman Tom Barrett trailing two relatively unknown Democrats. A former top aide to former state House Speaker Lee Chatfield pleads guilty to assorted corruption charges ... and agrees to testify against his former boss. The latest political shocker nationally: Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about running for President. Of the United States. Yes, that MTG! And the Subway Sandwich Terrorism trial has ended with an acquittal. Sean Dunn was charged with misdemeanor assault after hitting a federal agent with a “sub-style sandwich.” Apparently ICE agents consider mustard a weapon of mass destruction...but the prosecution's case, it turns out, was toast. Dunn reportedly relished the decision. There were, of course, a lot of significant elections on Tuesday. Joining the post-election analysis is guest commentator Jennifer Palmieri. Her credentials include three years as Barack Obama's Communications Director and then Director of Communications for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. Before her service at the White House, she was the National Press Secretary for the 2004 John Edwards presidential campaign and for the Democratic National Committee in 2002, after a brief time at the advocacy group Americans for Gun Safety. She served in the Clinton Administration as Special Assistant to White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, deputy director of Scheduling and Advance, and finally as a Deputy White House Press Secretary. More recently she co-hosted the political documentary series "The Circus" on Showtime with John Heilman, Alex Wagner and Mark McKinnon. drewsheneman.substack.com

Wow! Just Wow! This week had way too many contenders for Clown of the Week. In a week that a shutdown record was broken, Pelosi retiring, Mamdani the Islamist elected mayor of NYC, and of course the usual subjects from the left delivered again. This may have been the most difficult week this year to choose the top three and a winner.

The UN climate summit, COP30, is getting under way in Brazil, with global temperatures rising – and global cooperation under deep strain.

Send us a textDietrich Smith jumped into the Playwright's Spotlight after the opening of his World Premiere adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel Amerika. We explore his background as the literary manager at the Open Fist Theatre Company and the trends he observed from submissions. We speak about establishing theme and whose story it is in a piece, mapping the journey, approaching adaptation, and the history of Kafka's Amerika. We delve into writing an ending to an incomplete work, cutting what you love, the length of plays in modern theatre, the politics of production, reversals, learning playwriting by doing, and the concept of no rules in theatre. We wrap our conversation up the benefits of having been a story editor, holding interest and learning from the greats and, finally, his dive into acting and becoming a playwright. It is a brilliant and insightful conversation I hope you all will enjoy as much as I did.

It was a spooky week in the Conservative Circus, yeah, we know that was corny going into Halloween but that's what we got, especially from the goolish democrats. Speaking of, the Dems love to use the term "Nazi" when describing conservatives, but when one of theirs is an actual Nazi, there's nothing to see here. This week we also had scary EBT stories, democratic frontrunners, 90's Jamz, Handsome Women, and a brand spankin' new studio. Enjoy your Halloween weekend and the show!

Chris explores the issues' blend of slapstick villainy, Peter Parker's romantic tension with Betty Brant and Liz Allen, and the slice-of-life storytelling that made early Spider-Man so iconic.  Whether you're a vintage comic collectior, a Spider-Man lore buff, or just love classic Marvel drama, Chris lays out the plot and beats, and goes into Ditko's visual storytelling.
